Dr. Larry Hopper is the Senior Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix.
We heard a lot of explanations about how our weather is formed and how his department is responsible for determining when to send out weather alerts and warnings.
Larry presented maps and graphs showing that Casa Grande is truly the heart of dust storm country and how nearly impossible it is to accurately predict a dust storm.
Here is my current thermometer as I post this. This dry heat isn't so bad but once the rains come, the humidity will rise and that's when the air gets "thick". No rain at all so far this summer.
We had to stop and wait for the ducks to cross the road this morning. You'd think they'd walk a little faster on that hot pavement.
