It happens every summer, without fail. The DASTARDLY DEATH RIDGE OF...uhhhhh,
DEATH (that's trademarked, by the way) sets up over the Southern Plains and
gives us oppressive heat, tons of sunshine, and drought enhancement. There's
usually nothing worse, except maybe lettuce from Taco Bell this year (I was an
early adopter, by the way part 2).
Oh, oppressive heat, ya say? Well, we have plenty of that coming, too.
Do heat index values of 100-110+ sound good to you, Claude?!?! That's Clark, but
no, it doesn't.
MAYBE there are signs the heat dome starts to meander away as we get closer to
August, but don't tell the forecasters at CPC that.
Keep an eye on these maps, folks...they're about to explode.
Don't want explosions? Stay away from the lettuce.
