Weather

I mentioned on Tuesday that things have been unusually dry on Guam and that the weather people can't agree on when things are going to change. Well, I saw lightening last night and the buzz on the island this morning is that there seems to be a little more rain on the way. The NWS is even watching a small area about 600 miles south of here that is acting like it wants to form a tropical depression. Apparently, the military has already been given the heads-up.

What does all of this mean? Most likely nothing. These conditions occur a lot without ever developing into anything nasty. But when it does happen... And when everyone is anxious for some kind of change in the weather...

Meanwhile, back on the mainland, I talked with my father in Phoenix yesterday where it is 115° F (46° C). And I see that in Turlock it's 106° F (41° C) today. As far as I'm concerned anything over 105° is almost uncomfortable.

Friday Night Update: The NWS has now issue an advisory for the Marianas Islands -- including Guam.
