One very interesting thing about where we live is watching storms form. A majority of our summer showers form in the late afternoon as the temperature starts to drop. Most of the severe storms are formed very close to our home and then build as they travel east and southeast. The moisture of the Mississippi River and the Wisconsin River play a huge influence on our weather patterns. I love watching the clouds build. This cloud appeared during a short walk one afternoon.
We are currently experiencing rain from the remnants of Hurricane Gustav. We can usually expect a day or two or rain when a hurricane travels north through the Gulf of Mexico. Southwestern Wisconsin has had very little rain this August. It is a welcome sight!
