Warmest day yet?
Posted: 25 Jul 2012 05:53 AM
Hot days have been "a dime a dozen" this summer, but hopefully the
grand finale is in store today. The featured map presents NAM model
forecasted 2 meter above ground air temperatures for 4 PM this
afternoon. Most of the state is shown well above 100, with some
locations pushing 110 and close to all-time record high temperatures.
The model has been running warmer than reality recently, so these
values probably represent a theoretical max moreso than the actual high
temperatures today. The good news is that cooler air will enter the
state tonight and highs for at least the next few days will be closer
to average for this time of year.
