We might have a drought buster in store. There’s a 20% chance of rain tonight; and a 50% chance of T-storms tomorrow.

We certainly need the rain. There’s hardly been a drop since early July! The catch is, once a drought buster comes, it often keeps raining for days.

Amazingly, there’s a weather system in the mid-Atlantic that has the potential of becoming a named storm! It seems to be heading towards Bermuda; and I hope it doesn’t develop the way Ian did. 

It looks like I might miss the rain tomorrow morning; but I think I’ll ride in the park. The wind will be pretty strong; and I do get tired of battling headwinds on the levee. I’ve been up there before when it was cold; raining hard; and a sidewind made bike control very hard! That’s not my idea of fun.

After tomorrow it’s going to clear up for a couple of days; and Friday it’s likely to rain again. Next Monday will be sunny and warm; and I know the kids will like that for Trick-or-Treat.

Sunday will probably be sunny and warm; but pretty windy. That’s not fun when I’m riding back home from 20 miles away; but I need to get in a 40-miler. Yesterday I rode little over 29 miles, because I was tired and stuffy-headed; and I figured I ought to take it easy.

Saturday’s weather looks iffy. There’s a chance of rain and T-storms; and I hope such activity waits until I get home from the salvage store.

One good thing about a drought buster is that it will settle the dust for a while. Every time there’s a breeze, I see clouds of dust blowing around!
