Smooth sailing today with more sun & less humidity. Tomorrow is another story. The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked the southern half of our area for a slight risk of severe weather. A warm front will be pushing northward toward Chicago during the afternoon and good trigger some strong storms.
Snakes, not storms, are the problem down in Texas. The southern third of Texas is in an "extreme" to "exceptional" drought. There has been an increase in poisonous snake bites that may be attributed to the dry conditions. It seems the snakes normal sources of hydration have evaporated so they now are venturing onto watered lawns. A rattlesnake can bite twice. There is the initial bite then the bite in the wallet. A vile of antivenom can cost over $1000.
