    I was surprised when I saw all the mentions of it on Facebook!
    It has been disgustingly heavy here all day. I'm a fan of the heat but this is just grubby! It's beginning to rain now.

    I see that, the West being mentioned . Looks like a convergence zone between warm and cool airs, looks like producing a shot of rain also after a fairly warm day.

    Still a chance of thunderstorm activity through isolated western areas Tuesday evening/night, of zero interest to most people obviously at this stage.
