Schwetty Weather

As a native Minnesotan, I neither like nor am I capable of handling sustained hot and humid temperatures.  With that said, it does bring me great pleasure to say we may be breaking the triple-digit mark today.  Woo-hoo record highs!  Hey, I need to find some bit of pleasure in all of this hot, grossness.

Today looks to be the hottest day yet with temperatures hovering around 100 degrees.  Humidity levels with be high once again as well.  With the humid, unstable air we could very well see some afternoon showers/t-storms again like we've seen the past couple of days.  During the day however, it will be hot.  The NWS has issued an Excessive Heat Warning with heat indices around 105.  W/SW winds will keep temperatures along LI should be a bit cooler but it will still be quite warm.  Lows tonight will be lucky to get out of the 80s.  Much of the same tomorrow, unfortunately, maybe not quite as hot as today but still well into the 90s.  Relief may come Wednesday in the form of a cold front from the upper midwest but with our strong high pressure system (the one making things so pleasant) it may take longer to move eastward, so we may not see relief until Thursday.  Keep cool my babies!

Today:  Sunny and hot.  High 100.  Winds W@9-12mph
Tonight: A few clouds and very warm.  Low 79.  Winds @ 5-7mph
Tomorrow: Sunny and hot again.  High 97.  Winds SW @ 9-13mph.
