More heat!

Today marks the 21st consecutive day that at least one Mesonet station
has observed a temperature of 100 F or more.

Perhaps the most interesting feature in this afternoon's data can be
found on the 24-hour temperature map:



Southwestern Oklahoma, particularly along the H.E. Bailey corridor,
shows afternoon temperatures up to 25 F higher than yesterday
(as of 1:00pm).  The graphic is updated every 15 minutes.
