You've heard that expression 'if you don't like the weather, just wait and it will change.' In some places the changes are slower coming.

Here is the extended forecast for Las Vegas:

Today: A full day of sunshine 104 degrees
Tomorrow: Plenty of sun 105 degrees
Friday: Mostly sunny 106 degrees
Saturday: Sunny 105 degrees
Sunday: Sunny to partly cloudy 106 degrees
Monday: Mostly sunny 106 degrees
Tuesday: Sunny and hot 109 degrees

How many ways can they describe hot sunny weather? It's very boring to be a weather person in Las Vegas this time of year.

Here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains we've had some warm days, close to 90 degrees, but today it's going to get up to 65 degrees and rainy. This is a blessing during fire season. Maybe not great for the tourists, but they'll get over it.

Last night's thunderstorm started with marble-size hail that fell intensely but briefly - 1/2 inch deep in a couple of minutes. As it started we sprinted out and covered the vegetable plants with bed sheets. We have a metal patio cover that used to be the car awning at an A&W Rootbeer stand. The sound of the hail on that roof was deafening, we had to scream to hear each other, not that there was much to discuss. Trapped out there, we held cushions from the patio furniture over our heads to run for the house, but we had to be careful not to slip and fall on the hail covering the steps.
