August cool down: singularity?

There is a weather phenomenon known as a singularity. It is something that regularly occurs on a specific ( kind of specific) date. Montana has an August singularity which is a drastic cool down with a windy cold front occurring in the 8/20’s.

So.

August 6/2020. A cold front with whooshy wind and some isolated thunderstorms and thankfully a night of gentle and then downpour kind of rain.

After the front and the rain, it felt like the yard and trees and woods said “Oh, YES!”

I said the same. After several days and nights of A/C’s on nearly 24/7 and fans … lovely cool. AND even better, lovely rain!!

Today, Saturday, 8/8 … after a 2nd night of no A/C or fans and lovely cool, sleeping weather … is it an early singularity?

I dunno, but I am not complaining and all of us are enjoying.

After a cool morning, I headed to town for my Farmer’s Market run … then home to an overcast, but delightfully cool day…

***For the record … Friday and Saturday topped out at 67F. Overnight lows in the upper 40F. Bliss as far as I am concerned!
