There's a COLD FRONT headed for northeast Louisiana--a real cause for celebration! Monday's high is predicted to be 94 degrees, according to The Weather Channel, and the low will be 66. That may sound high to you, but it's a welcome relief to those of us in Monroe and West Monroe who have been in sweltering heat for the entire month of June. We're hoping that this front will bring us a little rain. We haven't seen any raindrops since June 4.

Monroe's total rainfall this year is 21.6 inches, 8+ inches below average. Rain measurements at the Monroe airport found only 0.6 inches for the month of June, far below the average rainfall of 4.2 inches.

According to the Nat'l Weather Service, Sunday's high of 102 degrees tied the record set in 1988.  The record marked the fourth time in seven days that temperatures were above 100 and the third time that the heat matched or set record highs.  I told you it was HOT!!

Even though we've had no rain, the Endom Bridge that spans the Ouachita River between Monroe and West Monroe was recently struck by lightning. The strike cause electrical problems, so the bridge is closed indefinitely. I took the picture to the right in early June to show the unusually high level of the river. The bridge was in its normal position for traffic, but now it is in the open position until repairs are complete.

Looking for a home on the other side of the River? I'll be happy to show you some nice homes that fit your price range and desired location. Call, text or email me today.
