THUNDERSTORMS AND BEACH VIBES: YOUR THURSDAY 956 DISPATCH

Howdy from Starbase, your correspondent in the 956 here with the Thursday lowdown. My sensors indicate an 88-degree afternoon with a chance of showers and thunderstorms rolling in from the southeast at 9 mph. That Gulf moisture is doing what it does best — keeping things spicy and unpredictable. For you launch enthusiasts, thunder and lightning mean we'll be monitoring radar closely; the pad crew knows the drill. For everyone else, it's classic Valley summer: heat, humidity, and that salty breeze that reminds you why we live near the water.
Here are the 3 best things in the Starbase area this week:
