We’ll see a risk for severe storms on Sunday. The main treat would be damaging straight-line winds. The Storm Prediction Center has placed our area in the marginal risk for severe storms, though an upgrade to slight risk is possible.
A heat wave is expected to settle in into the area by the middle and end of next week. Heat indices could be in the mid to upper 90s. We’ll have to be safe in the heat.
Baldwin’s Severe Weather Concern
Baldwin’s 7-Day forecast
Daily Forecast

Monday – Tuesday: Mostly sunny and pleasant, with low humidity.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, but a bit more humid. Hot.
Thursday -Friday: Sunny. Hot and humid. Dangerous heat indices in the mid to upper 90s. A slim chance for an afternoon/evening storm.
Baldwin’s Hay Day Forecast
Once we get passed Sunday, we’ll see a streak of good hay days! If you need to do any cutting I’d wait until Monday. Low humidity early next week will let that cut hay really dry out fast. Keep in mind that heat indices will be in the mid to upper 90s by the end of next week. We’ll have to make sure we stay safe in the heat.

This is a pic from the International Space Station on July 10th. Notice the comet left of center. That’s comet Neowise. I’ll be printing this off and making an 8×10 of it. What a view….what a view….
Keep in mind that Neowise should be visible in our western skies after sunset beginning tomorrow. It may be hard to see with the naked eye, but binoculars should certainly make it visible. I’ll have much more on this in a special blog update Sunday afternoon!
You all have a great day!
