"New Twist On A Holiday Classic"

Felt like being a songwright Sunday afternoon...
sing to the tune of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"

"It's beginning to look a lot like October,
Everywhere but here,
With the temperatures nice and hot,
Feeling like fall it's NOT,
With sweat a-drippin' down our rain-starved bods....

It's beginning to look a lot like October,
Soon the leaves will fall,
And the prettiest sight by far
Is some rain upon your car,
In your dreams - that's - all....

The rains remain far-away on Columbus Day,
There's nothing even coming close;
The tropics are dead and aren't of much help,
All we can do is to pray....

But at least we have some fall-like temps
That will quickly head our way....

It's beginning to look a lot like October,
In stores like WalMarts,
So we'll hang on to hope, you see,
As it's our only liberty,
In our heat - strained - hearts!"

Don't worry...I'm not quitting my day job...not yet, anyway! Rain is a gazillion miles away from our forecast, but there is decidedly cooler air heading our way behind a couple of dry cold fronts that will do nothing more than create patchy clouds and noticeable wind shifts.

We'll be heading from the 90s the next couple of days (!!!) into highs maybe only in the upper 60s for the weekend, which pretty much says it all for our forecast - at least we get some temperature relief. Rain relief, however, simply isn't in our picture this week.
