8/8 - 10am - Super Nice Weather

Wow! I woke up this morning to my thermometer saying 62 degrees outside. Granted, I live in a small valley where cold air pools, but I'm sure temperatures around the region weren't too much warmer. We're sitting at 69 right now at 10am, which is a very nice start for a day in August. For those wondering, this cool weather was caused not only by the passage of a cold front a couple days ago, but also by low humidity. Humid air tends to keep temperatures stable, whereas dry air has more variation between a high and low temperature. Simply put, the water in the air retains heat longer than dry air.

Do you like this weather? Good! There's more on the way. Temperatures will remain in the mid 80's for the weekend and next week as well. We'll have a small shot at rain late Sunday night into Monday and maybe a little during the day on Wednesday as well.

Here's the weather for Beijing, China tomorrow:
Scattered Clouds. High: 95° F. / 35° C. Wind light.

They're 12 hours ahead of us, so I'm sure that makes for an interesting time issue when broadcasting the Olympics and for the athletes as well.
