How-hot-will-it-get excitement just doesn't have the panache (highfalutin English to regular English to Okie dictionary: flamboyance: style) as severe weather or winter storms. Not that we want much of that, but at least it gets the old blood pumping. All those days over the past 7 or 8 months refreshing forecast maps and looking at data and all that to see when the next storm system could strike: over!

Now you know me (STALKER ALERT!!)...I love a good hot day, but you know what lies in wait for us now: lots of scanning the heat index maps! I can match the best of them on a nice dry, hot day...if "them" is who I think them is, but put me in a high heat index day and you might as well pour me into a bucket and store me in the cellar. Wait, that's awfully "Criminal Minds" sounding. How about "stick me under an air conditioning vent until the dew point drops below 70?"
There will be a chance of rain here and there, but no big organized systems for awhile.

I see that we're now up to 103 tornadoes for the year, with most of the potential damage paths explored by our NWS folks.
Okay, boring is not so bad.
