We did get hit with some decent thunderstorms yesterday but they were brief without a lot of precipitation. What little rain fell was soaked into the ground and the flows in the system barely budged. The rivers look good this morning with minimal fog on the lower West Branch. Accuweather is calling for today to be very similar to yesterday with humidity, warm air temps in the 80’s, and a small amount of precipitation. Hopefully the clouds stick around for most of the day before and after the storms. Sulphurs and small olives are on the menu so not much has changed. Some humid days are very good for flying ants so definitely carry some in your box.
