The rain sent the tail-gaiters hanging around downtown rushing into local businesses, any shelter they could find. The Blackhawk flyover for the game was on stand-by to be cancelled. They've been practicing for days. But the skies cleared before the game. The flyover took place. The raptors were released and did their traditional swoop of the stadium. The rain cooled the air by 10 degrees. The game was more comfortable than the game-day morning.
It will get warm again tomorrow morning, but not as warm as it has been. By Thursday the temperature will be down to the seasonal norm. I don't know if it's because it's game day or because it finally isn't so hot. But even here the sense of doom has lightened just a bit. It is finally cooling off.
Nice to have cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my town today. I think we forgot what rain was like - true rainstorms. Everyone is spinning in circles. An outdoor concert is cancelled, a vintage baseball game is cancelled. My grandkids can't go fishing and are in withdrawl. As for me and my flowers, we think it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I hope I can say the same thing tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cooler temps. Have a beautiful day.

Hello - I am in GA and today was still hot! I am so tired of it. Maybe, just maybe our weather is going to be a little cooler tomorrow and rain is coming in - but we will see.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cooler temps and rain.
I don't blame you for not changing your name on your accounts - it would be a nightmare! lol
That ten-degree drop and a post-storm breeze sounds like pure heaven after two months in a sauna! So glad the weather cooperated in time for the Blackhawks flyover and the raptors. Enjoy every bit of that cooler air and the lighter mood this week, Lisa!
