I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, going back to the 90s after enjoying all these 80s is gonna be tough. We don't even have to wait that long...tomorrow will be relatively "hot" for most of us when comparing it to our recent temperatures. I mean, we had wind chills yesterday, for crying out loud! Heck, too!
So we will apparently get "hot" (can we just ASSUME the quotation marks?) this week, then a front on Friday, then get hot again...and maybe for awhile.

I'm not sure I *WANT* to go back to the 90s! I mean, "Saved By the Bell," New Kids on the Block...mullets. I can't do it. And the sweating (temps this time). I don't enjoy the sweating. But imagine how bad it got for me, the Warminista of Buena Vista (no idea...it rhymed), to not want the heat?
Going back to the 90s after 80s is like shopping at Wal Marts after Target, or eating at Taco Mayo after Taco Bell. Or reading Tickers after Shakespeare.
I guess after some of those lows in the 40s and 50s, the 90s will feel good again? And mind you, I'm Tocking about hot weather NEXT week...regardless of the heat coming tomorrow.
At any rate, above normal temps in mid-September are NOT above normal temps in mid-August, so it's all relative. And it does look like a dry (or drier) heat. The big problem with that is we need rain, badly. And the rainfall outlook is truly dreadful.

So hot again, then not as hot for the weekend, then hot again for maybe awhile. And no rain for a long time.
Where are ya, State Fair?!?
