**Important** Car Wash Update

Car Wash Update. Due to the crazy weather and my lack of luck, it looks like Friday will be the worst possible day yo have a car wash. We can discuss this tonight at the poster making meet, at Lion's Park, off Davis, In Nampa, if anyone is still interested, we can make them and use them at a later date.
I called Nampa Bowl and they have $1 Fridays. It's $1, per game, $1 drinks, $1 hot dogs. From 10 am - 9 pm. Does this sound like a good plan to anyone? I can still provide transportation and we can decide on a time. Since they do not hold lanes that day, we may have to wait for lanes to open. Please respond TO ME or CALL ME personally.
Thank you!

Watches and Warnings

Nampa Forecast
...MAJOR CHANGE IN THE WEATHER TO BEGIN THURSDAY...  A LARGE FALL-LIKE STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...BRINGING MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LOTS OF RAIN TO SOUTHEAST OREGON AND SOUTHWEST IDAHO. WE WILL SEE RECORD-SETTING TEMPERATURES...IN THE RATHER OBSCURE FORM OF COOL DAYTIME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES. THE CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAINFALL WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURES FROM PLUMMETING AT NIGHT...AND THEREFORE WE WILL NOT SEE ANY RECORD LOW NIGHT-TIME TEMPERATURES... THE KIND WE NORMALLY THINK OF WHEN WE THINK OF RECORD COLD WEATHER.  THE OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS STORM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN. PARTS OF THE AREA WILL SEE OVER AN INCH OF RAINFALL IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. MODEL GUIDANCE IS EVEN INDICATING THAT TWO TO THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL MAY OCCUR IN SOME AREAS. THEREFORE...IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT RAINFALL RECORDS WILL BE BROKEN AS WELL.  THE RECENT REAPPEARANCE OF EL NINO...AND THE OFTEN-DISCUSSED TOPIC OF CLIMATE CHANGE...MAY PROMPT THE QUESTION...WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS STORM? SCIENTIFICALLY...THIS PARTICULAR STORM CANNOT BE TIED TO ANY ONE PROCESS. FOR MOST OF THIS WARM SEASON...UP UNTIL ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO...THE NORTHWEST UNITED STATES WAS IN A PERSISTENT PATTERN OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL. THIS STORM SIGNALS A RETURN TO THAT PATTERN. IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT THIS PATTERN WILL DOMINATE THE SUMMER OF 2009. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER HOT SPELL...BUT OVERALL THIS SUMMER WILL END UP BEING RELATIVELY COOL AND WET FOR MOST FOLKS IN OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY.
