Nice Dip In Temps. Wetter Weather Ahead?

Beautiful weather over the weekend after the very steamy week we just went through. A slight dip in temperatures with full sun made idea conditions for a river dive. Pictured above are dive buddies Ricky Boyd and John Walker. We hitched a ride with Greg Eiche who brought his boat along so we could check out a few new spots in the Tennessee River. During our 1 hour and 25 minutes we saw a lot of largemouth bass. In fact at one point I think we had half a dozen following us. And right at the beginning of the dive we saw one of the biggest bluegills I've seen in a long time. All in all it was a very relaxing time blowing bubbles with some good friends.
What a nice break from the heat. Saturday's high was 84, Sunday 87, and today will end up around 89. This morning's lows are in the lower 60s in most places which is great compared to last weeks morning readings in the 70s. This would be a pretty ho-hum week if it weren't some moisture building in the southern Gulf Of Mexico. The water temperatures are very warm throughout the Gulf, and the overall pattern may become more favorable for development down there the next couple of days so we'll watch it. Even if this does not become a full fledged named system, there should be some hefty rains headed toward coastal Texas and Louisiana. And that rainy weather may turn northeastward far enough to give us some scattered showers and storms later in the week. We'll watch and see.
