For at least the next 7 days (according to the extended forecast by WDBJ7 as of 8/7/08) we’re not supposed to hit the 90s in temperature highs around Roanoke. Today is supposed to be the warmest at 85, then it starts dipping down into the lower 80s for the next several days.

And I even see some 50s (brrr!) in there for a couple overnight lows this weekend.

Summer still has about 6 weeks left and plenty of time to give us some more hot, and even hazy days. But, it seems like the temperature and humidity is starting to lessen ever so slightly.

My already sparingly used A/C unit is beginning to take a few more unscheduled breaks, and I can almost hear the rumbling of a school bus outside my window in the morning.

Well, I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself I suppose, since as a child I always cherished the last remaining time of summer.

Though, it does seem like this summer has been relatively mild and fairly pleasant, even if a bit on the dry side.

What do you think?
