Folks, I can do the MOTD forecast without any fancy predictin' equipment....

Chilly at night. Cool during the day. Some sun, some clouds, occasional showers. If it's raining, don't worry, it will stop soon. If it's not raining, don't worry, it will soon.

Still only 30%. But hopefully it'll keep the fires at bay.

please don't say the word "fire". One evacuation was enough for me...

Yeah, to try and predict the weather is sorta futile...it's gonna do what it's gonna do, and it can change hourly.

Due to the terrain/topology, areas there tend to develop their own little micro weather systems... making forecasts sketchy at best.

Yes, if there's a great big high over the area and very low humidity, then it *probably* won't rain that day. But if there's any moisture in the air, anything can happen...

Personally, I love it when it rains on the Dragon - runs off the motorcyclists and usually the cops too.

It's still a week away and I would rather consult the earthworms and squirrels before giving much credence to the weatherman.

Looks like typical MOTD weather. Some sun, some clouds, chance of an occasional shower/thunderstorm. Cool nights, warm days.

All in all, not bad.
