Tropical storm/depression Julia is hovering off the Southeast coast, seemingly going nowhere, but that means we've got cool winds from the northeast here. I'll take it. After the extreme heat and humidity we've had here for most of the summer, the cooler weather is a relief. Unfortunately, my wife and I are heading to the beach for the weekend, which might turn out to be cloudy and rainy. Fortunately, the forecasters are so clueless that the weather could turn out to be gorgeous (or pouring rain) for three days. Weather forecasting seems to be getting worse, rather than better, around here despite all of their fancy models and high-power computers.
