Color Me Obsessed
AKA Weather Watching A-Go-Go
Current Conditions According To WFAA
Temp: 98°Dew Point: 59°Humidity: 27%Wind: ENE 16 mphVisibility: 10.0 milesPressure: 29.90 in. -Sky: Mostly CloudyHeat Index: 98°We need cooler temperatures and rain so badly that the subject is pretty much on everyone's mind and certainly finds it's way into casual conversation. Tropical Storm Edouard is hopefully bringing us some relief tonight and tomorrow. The depression will definitely create slightly cooler temps and I'll still be doing my rain voodoo in hopes we get some much needed moisture around here!underused asks, "What is the dew point?"That is a very timely question! The dew point refers to the amount of moisture saturation in the air. The more moisture the higher the dew point & the more likely you are to recieve precipitation.Freemasons featuring Siedah Garrett - Rain Down Love

You and me both . . . I have begun dreaming of ice cubes, popsicles and sno cones. And really, they are pretty nice dreams, but I seem to wake up hotter than when I went to sleep. Hmmmm. Maybe I should dream of the South Pole instead . . . maybe that's safer.
Please send Edouard up our way, it's 100F right now with a heat index of 103F. ICK.
I can't imagine living in a place where it is so arid that dew point and humidity don't come into play. We have jungle-like summers here in Wisconsin. The dew point last night was 70 and the humidity upon rising was 100%. At 7:30 a.m., the television weatherperson said, "The humidity is now 92%, which is quite an improvement!"
Yeah we do need the rain I am a wfaa online weatha watcha I think its funny the anything in the 90's seems lilke cooler weather anymore
The dewpoint is the point at which dew is created. So if the dewpoint is 70, dew will form on stuff that is 70F, including particles in the air, which forms fog. So when you see fog, the air is at or below the dewpoint. Clear as mud, eh? That is why I like relative humidity better!
You should start singing he song, "Lizzy and the Rainman"... I'll do a rain dance with you.dan
Whatcha wanna bet it passes us over?
Here's to mint juleps on the sunny veranda. In Minnesota, where we have an obsessive love affair with weather (and sports and politics---yuck), we have had a cooler Summer by contrast.Stay cool, my Friend.
I will do a voodoo rain dance for ya
