Just shy of 90 today (89) but once again, that humidity is something else. I think it’s partly because I’m not fully acclimated to it and the lack of wind from any direction today on top. Even this old dew sponge has its physical limits on days like this!

Looking at the sky, you wouldn’t think it’s about to rain.

Setting sun, behind the clouds, in the west, brightens them up from underneath the deck.

Only happens this time of year here.

And this time of day.

Love the long, slow sunsets this time of year along with the seemingly endless twilight we get into the evenings. It’s easily one of the best parts of the season imo.

Got to love the long light. Left the GFs house in Boston this morning at 4: 00am. Hardly even dark with the extended dawn and early sunrise.

Ended up going north and catching 84 in Newtown and following storms along 84 into Waterbury. Wind wasn’t much but some lightning, a few loud booms, and very heavy rain.  

Give you props for trying. Sorry it was disappointing.

Actually it worked out well! Wasn't really expecting anything wild or out of the ordinary. Part of the fun on this is picking a location and then adjusting as needed. Because of the road network here and limited visibility with trees and hills, our preference is to always be at a spot well ahead of the storms, particularly for shelf cloud views. 

I tend to prefer not chasing the storms as they're ongoing (unless its being out ahead of them) because I don't want to risk encountering a flooded road or something like a tree falling if driving along roads which are heavily forested. 

I'd say today worked out as could have expected. Big winds or even hail is just an added bonus.
