Thunderstorm

Right now, we are experiencing a thunderstorm in Jamestown, New Mexico.

We really do need the precipitation and we're getting some in the form of big drops. Hopefully, the storm will intensify to give us a good soaking. Then it won't be so dusty out here.

I went outside and snapped these two pictures when things started happening. This could be considered to be the start of monsoon season (albeit a little early).

Here's the forecast for today and tomorrow by the National Weather Service:
