Good Grass Growin' And Mowin' Weather

With the cool mornings, relatively wet ground and sunny afternoons the grass has been really jumping out of the ground lately. And so have the weeds. I should have plucked these guys above out of the ground, but they ended up getting their picture snapped instead. (This way I can say I'm not pulling the weeds in the flower bed because I'm not sure which are the flowers and which are the weeds.)
Will this be the last of the comfortable days in the Tennessee Valley this summer? Unfortunately I think so. But that may not be all bad as a change in the pattern will bring back moisture to keep things green with more rainfall chances ahead.
Today: Mostly sunny and very nice with low humidity and highs around 84. Look for light north winds at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight: Still comfortable, but a tad warmer at 60 tomorrow morning.
Wednesday: A weak front gets close before washing out giving us some scattered storms late in the day into Wednesday evening. Highs Wednesday around 83.
Thursday: There may be enough of this dying front to keep an isolated storm chance in the forecast for the afternoon, but I don't see many areas getting wet Thursday afternoon. Look for highs around 85.
Friday through Sunday: The first weekend of Riverbend looks steamy, but not bad. Highs in the upper 80s to near 90 with partly cloudy skies.
If the computer models are right this morning, umbrellas may be the fashion statement at Riverbend from next Wednesday on. Not all day soakers, but scattered storms may be numerous each afternoon and evening from Wednesday of next week through the following weekend.
That'll keep the grass growin' and everyone mowin'.
