That’s weather-speak for thunderstorms, with rain, which is what we’re expecting today through Thursday. Heavy at times. A recent one was a gusher, but without thunder, and it stopped after a few minutes. Lots more on the radar, little green blobs everywhere, with a few yellow and red ones mixed in, all flowing northwest. The weather service in New Braunfels says tonight through noon tomorrow the blobs will coalesce and the rain could be heavy. By then the jetstream will have settled in east of here, to interact with the damn low pressure trough that seems to have been here forever. At least we missed our June layer of Saharan dust. Some years it’s ash from the Chiapan farmers of southern Mexico burning their fields before the planting. But the dust from the African desert is more regular, June to August. Washed out of the air so far.
