Beautiful sunset, ElKay23 - Columbia, ILOurs was interesting, too, though no way to get a picture that would capture it. I thought my wife had turned on the front porch light because the lighting was so unusual. And there was a rainbow to the east for added interest. |

Surprisingly there's a bit of a cool breeze and it doesn't feel all too bad out there this morning.

and I guess not so surprisingly it was much warmer towards the KC Metro this morning. Decaying MCS really helped out last night. Rolla got down into the upper 60s!

.55 last night according to the Davis on the roof in North St. Pete. Top wind was 30, but we are protected by a lot of trees. Lots of debris in the yard this morning.

I've been trying to learn more about the native people in the area. It's pretty amazing that as many as 20,000 or more people lived in Cahokia in 1100AD.
And to put a weather spin on this I often wonder what they thought about hail, snow, tornadoes, heat waves, etc and whether they had any rudimentary forecasting techniques that worked.

Natives undoubtedly watched the sky and animal activities very closely.

I wonder about it all the time being a Native American history junkie. They likely had weather patterns figured out WAY more than we would believe.

That would be no surprise to me considering that they figured out their relationship to the earth and a harmonious way of life way better than us as well. We are reliant on computers for everything now whereas the human mind can still be far more powerful and accurate at times. |

Birddog - is your avatar a personal find? I was going to ask the same...that's a phenomenal spear point! It's a G-10 Dalton point (85000-10,500 years old) and quite rare which is why I'm very curious to know the story on it! I have a few Daltons but nothing to that level! |

Are you a regular artifact hunter? Before the "keep it to weather" posts show up, may I state that the next 4 days are about as boring and unbearable as the weather can be around here  . |

Found in a spring fed ditch. I have spent a lot of time arrowhead hunting since my retirement 2 years ago. Sometimes 3 to 4 times a week. With the heat as it is, I will wait for a temp break! 93.6, H.I. 116 D.P. 81 |

I work in Farmington twice a week. The building where I work has a creek running through its property. I started walking it at lunchtime a few months back, and to my surprise I started finding artifacts in it, especially after a good hard rain. I am totally hooked now. Unfortunately, almost everything I find is broken pieces of projectiles,blades and various hand scrapers. I am yet to find a whole intact piece, which I guess is what happens when the pieces get slammed around in a flash flood. I am eager to learn more as I find the entire experience relaxing and pleasant. Unfortunately, I am figuring out that the best places and knowledge are tightly kept secrets! If I ever found anything like in that picture I would probably faint!

NAM has a pretty stout MCS on the front end of the cold front Sunday night. Then the weather looks absolutely remarkable next week, especially considering it being the end of July.

Watching Chris's forecast for next week this morning this is definitely a bit of an unusual situation. We might get a cold front like this in July where the cool air lasts for a day...maybe two. But most of next week??? Yes, please!!! |
