Humboldt webcam shows <a href="http://www.ragbrai.org/">RAGBRAI</a> riders getting an early start on their way to Hampton today.  Morning temperatures are in the 60s which sure beats muggy afternoon temps in the 80s.  There is a chance of thunderstorms this evening as a southbound upper level system approaches Iowa.  The rest of RABGRAI looks mostly dry with warming afternoon temperatures to near 90 degrees.
