@ParrScream, nice! It doesn't look like you (or I) have to worry about heavy rain any time soon
ParrScream
5:09:21 PM
It is very HOT and sunny here right now... but radar says I could get rain around 6:00 - 6:30, which could ruin our plans for hockey practice tonight.
Esoterica (host)

Thanks, Rob
Esoterica (host)
5:10:52 PM
It was very muggy earlier where I am and I was hoping for cooler temps
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:11:59 PM
Hopefully the radar is wrong! I'm not expecting any, certainly not like yesterday's deluge
Esoterica (host)
