Wet ground

Posted on August 8, 2007 | Comments Off on Wet ground

The National Weather Service says it’s our wet ground, from the record rain we’ve had the first seven months of the year, that’s keeping our daily highs from reaching a hundred so far. The heat index is there but not the actual temp. I had thought we’d roll right into triple-digit days this week and next, but apparently the wet ground is going to hold our highs two or three degrees below that for a while longer. Maybe into next week, as the high-pressure dome that normally creates such heat isn’t over us at the moment, but out over the Red River where it is expected to slide away to the northwest starting tomorrow. We might even get a slight cold front through here on Sunday, but without any rain. We’re leaving Monday, in any case, for our annual trip of a few days to the beach at Port Aransas.

    Who believes the National Weather Service? If Joe, as a CPA, was as wrong as they are we would still be paying.

    Forecasting is an art, not a science. I trust them for general guidance but don’t expect them to be absolutely correct all the time. As for CPAs, I have heard that some regard it as an art form, but I’m sure Joe is not one of them.
