Mune?

Seriously, how is this okay? Have people lost their ever-lovin' minds? I expected
the push back last week when I complained about the lack of summer thus far
(actually the lack of that nice blast furnace dry heat I'm used to from my days
growing up in the High Plains), but now wind chills in the 30s?

I DARE ya to defend Mother Nature on that one! Granted, that was confined to the
far northwest, but in reality that's the most important part of the state, given
that the best town in America (ahem...Buffalo) is up there. And yes, Buffalo's 44
degree wind chill was uncalled for as well. But it wasn't just the wind chills.
Our Eva Mesonet site tied the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded
on this date, matching records from the early 1900s.

Here we can see the actual low temps from this morning and the record lows from
across the state. There were several locations that either got close to or
broke their all-time record low temperature for June 10.

The high temps, while what some would claim are going to be delightful (WRONG!),
are probably going to rise above record low maximum temperature territory. Close
though.

Some more heat coming later this week. With all this moisture around, anytime we
get up in the upper 80s or 90s, the heat index is gonna be nasty.

Hmmmm...maybe Mother Nature is onto something with this cooler weather? The
only thing worse than cold weather is hot and humid weather.

Okay, turns out today's weather really IS going to be delightful.
