Sleep Outside

Winds of out the southwest delivered plenty of warm, moist air to the mountain state this week. Admittedly, things got hot and steamy here. However a cold front will sweep across the eastern U.S. today, trending temps towards more mild numbers. We’ll likely see a few isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. Other states should be so lucky! Widespread tornadoes, flash-flooding, gushing oil wells and illegal immigrants have plagued other parts of the country. Here in coal country, skies stay mostly cloudy today with temps reaching the upper 70s. High pressure will creep into the area drying things out just in time for the weekend. We’ll notice dew points and relative humidity bottom out as skies remain relatively clear and temps stay mild in the low to mid 70s. Saturday and Sunday nights will be perfect for sleeping outside; dry with temps in the 40s and 50s. Low pressure will bring some unsettled weather next week, so go outside and get some sun on your shoulders this weekend!
