A Hot One Today

Jeez, Louise!

I just took a quick gander at my The Weather Channel app on my phone and they forecast today's temperature to be at 95°,

I then took a look at what the National Weather Service forecast and they have it at "around" 93°.

Regardless (by the way, there's no such word as "irregardless"), it is going to be hot in the Jamestown/Gallup area today.

But, the monsoon thunderstorms are on the horizon and the temperature will be going down into the 80s. 

The Lions Club Rodeo is beginning tonight with the youth rodeo. The main rodeo will begin tomorrow and run through Saturday. If there are thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and evening, then I will go Saturday since my ticket can be used for either days. I will probably go to the youth rodeo tonight since it's free. It starts at 6:00 this evening.

Here's the forecast for the next several days from the National Weather Service:
