Well that about covers the extreme winds, no? I'm almost glad we're transitioning
into our normal boring heat index summertime blues. Or reds. And I said "ALMOST!"
Sorta like "I'm almost glad Taco Bell was closed so I had to eat Arby's instead."

Almost.

I believe we're now up to FIVE 95+ mph wind gusts during June? And THREE 100+
mph gusts?

Eva: 96 mph, June 12
Hinton: 102 mph, June 22
Hinton: 101 mph, June 22
Boise City: 101 mph, June 25
Breckenridge: 96 mph, June 25

That may be a record for a month...I'll have the answer to that in the June
summary on Wednesday. We can stew on that as we're making our own gravy this
week, because the H (heat) is indeed O (on).







Even this morning we've already approached record high low temperatures for
all June 29ths since the 1880s in Oklahoma.





As I've said many times, Snickers is the best candy bar of all time! An important
proclamation, yes. But I've also said you can tell how nasty your day is going
to be by how high your low temperatures are starting out in the morning. And
the scary part is we're not even really under the summertime heat dome yet. You
can blame the rain for some of these high heat index values. At least to some
degree (see what I did there?). But we wont' have that any rain to kick around
for awhile, so maybe don't point fingers.



Now, go be hot.
