Hot Weekend



This weekend will see that hottest weather since our heat wave back in late June. Middle nineties will be common along with high humidity. This will mean the Heat Index will be at or over 100 during this period. The pattern breaks ever so slightly early next week as another weak front tries to drop through the Ozarks.

Hurricane Stats



There has been some question about how many tropical storms and hurricanes should have shown up by now over the Atlantic Basin. It should be pointed out that in recent years, the season has been starting a tad early. The stats show August shows a rapid increase in the number of storms. The real season for hurricanes kicks in in late August and peaks around September 10th.

August has seen some powerful storms including Andrew, Camille and Katrina.
