Friday is here and I have the afternoon off

Moving sucks. Katrina and I are slowly packing up our things and transitioning to our new place. Most people say that having more time to move is a good thing, but I think it leads to more procrastination. All in all, I give moving 7 yucks out of 10.

So I have decided to scrap my website version of this blog for awhile. It is too much work to maintain both and lets face it, I have no idea how to build and maintain a website. I think the blog is good enough for now. I will build on some features here instead, like the 5 day forecast that I just posted! Go ahead and tell me it looks awesome. I know it does. Honestly, tell me anything. I am dying for comments. No one comments and it makes me sad.

But lets get to the good stuff! It sure is humid out today. As I write this, the temperature is only 91, but the dew point is 65. Dew points of course measure the amount of moisture in the air. 60s to 70s for dew points are just uncomfortable and the air feels heavy. We are not near our record temperatures of earlier this week, but if you ask me, more humidity is worse.

A slow moving cold front is going to impact our weekend. Ahead of it, we are stuck in the humid airflow from the southwest. This front is going to be a slow mover. Everything is a bit log jammed in our atmosphere right now, mainly due to the big high pressure ridge over the east coast. This front is the same one that basically ran into another stalled cold front over the mid west earlier this week. Now it is dragging its feet through our region.

The front never makes it to Boston on Saturday, but because of our warm and moist air, showers and heavy rainfall could really pop up at any moment in the afternoon. Either way, expect more clouds than sun as the day progresses. Overnight, more steady rainfall will move in with some chance for thunderstorms as well.

Until then, have a great day. I give this day a sweat factor of 8 out of 10.
