Monday July 1

The weather for today will be sunny, with a high near 78 and a low around 62.

The weekend was very humid and we had some crazy lightning, thunder and “gully-washing” rains on Saturday night. I know there were several flooded roads in the southern end of the county so we hope you all are staying safe!

The first photo below was taken (as a clip from a video) by me, the second was taken by Mark Richards, and the third was taken by Linda Herdering on Saturday evening.
