Less Intense Heat

Day after day, we've set record high temperatures and watch heat index values soar to dangerous levels.  It almost feels like there is no end to this oppressive heat wave.  Well, believe it or not, there could be a brief period where the heat won't be as intense.

This Sunday, the weather models are clear that an upper level trough will usher in a fairly strong cold front through the Ohio Valley.  At the very end of the boundary there will be enough energy to help bring in a few spotty storms through Arkansas.  Besides the needed rain, the best outcome out of this front will be the "cooler" weather.

Next week the weather models are hinting that highs may stay below 100°.  I know it's not a major cool down, but it beats having to rely on our air conditioner 24 hours a day.
