Return of Summer Heat , Cool Air in Retreat

Just to get you in the mood... I found this video of two dogs going for a swim in Arizona. well one dog is swimming, the other is going for a ride...


This morning a complex of storms was holding over flooded areas in the Iowa, Illinois, Missouri area of the Mississippi River. This was on the northern fringe of a warm front- marking the return of the heat and cool air in retreat! There is a small chance that the remnant wave will ride along the boundary and reach us overnight as the heat ridge builds in. The other side will hold hgih temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Dew point temperatures will climb into the mid 60s and near 70F. That is not too oppressive, but it will feel more sticky and build afternoon thunderstorms. This will last into the weekend.
Oh, I can't wait!
