So those temp forecast of mid to upper 90's failed and so far not even 100 on the heat index. Today should be the hottest with the heat index and should pass 100 and maybe hit 105. Temp though should probably stall around 92 or maybe 93 because dew points just too high to get much hotter. Still watching for some showers and thundershowers later today and evening and have not looked at the short term models this morning so will look at those later today to see if they show any action.

The cool air will come in waves and the first early Saturday so temps still in the mid 80's most likely and then cooler air sinks in here later Saturday and Sunday. This will continue all next week with temps slightly below normal early in the week and then another shot of cool air could put us 8-10 degrees below normal and maybe see a few upper 40's for lows late in the week. Not every late August or early September do we see upper 40's but yes it happens and usually when the tropics are not the main item controlling the weather and that is the case this season.

So yes we survived the HEAT WAVE LOL of 2023 and my guess next week if we see temps for highs in the low-mid 70's the media will not mention the cold wave of late August 2023. Yes temps will probably be just as below normal later next week than they were above normal this week. Facts do count though the media lives in make believe land and so many people don't research those facts.

No doubt with the southwest wind there is plenty of dry air to overcome in different layers of the atmosphere this afternoon and that may kill my thoughts on a line of storms forming. Still going to watch the radar after 3 or 4pm to see if any action starts taking place. I love it when the models and what I believe is going to happen are in sync but later today that is not the case so my confidence is lower.

Hey Tim, just watch the media blame the dud tropical season on climate change! Lol

Tim, my friend and his wife are also going to Skynard/ZZ Top in the pavilion, sure hope they have some industrial size fans going.
Today is just downright miserable.
