A Promise of Rain?

Old experimental towers on NMSU property

We caught a real break from the heat on our hike this morning, and both Becca and I really appreciated it.  Although it was hot, we had a good, heavy overcast in spots, blotting out the sun most of the time.  There was also a nice breeze to moderate the heat.  The dewpoint was quite high, too, raising hopes that we might get some precipitation later in the day.  When I took Becca out for her afternoon ride half an hour ago it really looked like rain.  The downside:  the high humidity makes for some discomfort.
