Saturday was a bit warmer and cloudier than Friday and even more humid, as the dew point rose over the 70 mark for most of the day, topping off briefly at 74 a few times in the mid-afternoon, once again truly oppressive, especially for May. I would still call the day partly cloudy, though by late afternoon the clouds overspread the area, from storms that had formed over central PA and had moved south, along a stationary frontal boundary.  The rain shield entered into northern Maryland by early evening but the storms weakened/ spread out. I believe some areas got sprinkles/light rain showers, but nothing fell here unfortunately. Most of the late evening/overnight has been mostly cloudy, and slightly drier as the dew point has dropped below 70. This has allowed the air temperature to drop into the upper 60s. Sunday should see a return of the muggies,…

Looking Southwest at 5:00 PM

Today's story was wind and smoke.  South to Southeast winds gusted 20 to 30 mph all day spreading thick smoke through the Rio Grande valley for a second straight day.   In late afternoon the wind started shifting to Westerly, spreading the smoke toward the Northeast heights and prompting additional air quality warnings for the area.  As the sun set behind the smoke we were again treated to a red sun and somewhat eerie glow in the sky.  The day started with a low of 67° and managed a high of only 86° with 6% humidity.

Tonight will be mostly clear with…

The morning started warm and mostly cloudy. The temperature did not take long to get in to the 80's and while out and about attending some of the many Memorial Day Weekend fairs, noticed the car thermometer showing 87 degrees. At home, the system showed a high of 83°F for most of the afternoon. Guess being near the water helps.

We are expecting a front to move through tonight which may bring a shower or thunderstorm. Tomorrow should be much cooler and drier.

Tonight we expect some cloud with a minimum temperature around 60 degrees. There is a 20% chance of rain. The wind will be from the North at 5 to 10…

Memorial Day weekend at Peagreen

Windy Memorial Day greetings from the Peagreen Poor Farm.  It has been very windy around here for the last couple of days and today it is so windy that I just cannot work outside anymore and had to retreat indoors.  Today has not been as bad yet as it was Wednesday when I clocked a 57 mph wind gust, but they are forecasting wind gusts as high as 65 to 70 mph for later this afternoon.  Currently, at 11:30 AM, I am recording sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph from the South with gusts up to 35 so far today.  So, I will take this time to write a quick note and let you all know what is happening in our little corner of southwestern Colorado.

We have been very busy around here trying to get our garden situated…
