What am I going to do, Tick at you about how it's going to be miserably hot for the next few days? Why would I do that? You know it will be already. It's summer. Just check out the forecast highs for the next few days.

Well, I guess I blew that one. BUT, did you see that high of 79 in the Panhandle on Thursday? Surely that's good news, right? Indeed it is! As our friends at the Tulsa NWS explain, it's a momentary (at least) shift of the heat dome away from our area, allowing a cool front to slip through.

AND, not only will it be cooler, it will be less humid with a chance of rain early on in the shift. Doesn't look like a drought buster, of course, but rain means cool (until later on when the heat dome shifts back and it gets evaporated and causes the heat index to explode...this news courtesy of Negative Nancy).

Again, I'm not going to come in here and talk about how it's going to be hot until then and blah blah blah. But it's going to be hot until then and blah blah blah.
