Last day of School

It's the last day of school here in South Mississippi and it was only a half day. In 2014 the beginning and end of the school year will change. But I forget the exact dates since it won't affect us for awhile yet. It is partly cloudy, hot and humid with a warm breeze. The same weather we have had all week.

Rainbow

May 12th, 2012, we had a rainy day. Near sunset I went out back and saw a beautiful rainbow! I ran inside, grab my camera and ran out front. It was wonderful! A full rainbow and it was soo close!

It stayed for a long time, I took a lot of pictures none of which came out that great for some reason. The rainbow was in the eastern sky. At the same time the western sky was putting on a good show too!

A beautiful golden sunset.

Friday Morning

It is a nice morning, the sun is coming up to a morning in the 60s. But the day will warm up quickly and clouds will move in this afternoon along with rain and some storms.

The moon is also out so it got its picture taken too.

Hurricane Predictions

Hurricane season starts June 1st and ends Nov. 30th

Overall, the predictions are not dire for 2012. The season is being forecast to be relatively tame. Forecasters seem to agree mostly that there is a probability of 12 named storms and out of the 12 named storms, seven possibly will develop into hurricanes.

Out of the seven hurricanes, three of these are being predicted to be "major" hurricanes.

Most the landfall models are predicting fairly close or normal landfall of storms along the United States coastline. The Gulf of Mexico coastline and the coastline of Florida are being given an elevated chance of landfall over the East Coast in 2012.

Sunny days

We have had sunny weather since all the rain a few days ago. It has been high in the 80's and humid. There have been nice clouds in the sky during the day, so much better than plain old blue skies. Tonight the moon is going to be HUGE, I have to remember to check it out.

When it rains it pours

The rain started at 8am and it continued straight till 1pm. We have some wicked lightening too. We were going to go to Walmart but decided to just go the couple of blocks to the dollar store because of the weather. The drain ditches on either side of the road was full and very close to over flowing! I was very surprised our road did not flood with the amount of rain we had, but it didn't and what a happy surprise that is! The storms are going to continue the rest of the day and into the evening. There is only a 40% chance of rain tomorrow. We do need the rain. It has been hot, breezy and humid.
