You’re probably going to feel like this ice cream cone as you step outside this afternoon. Another hot and nasty day ahead of us today, high of 98°. Yes, you read that right, not a typo.
Dewpoints around 70° won’t give us any relief along with the almost triple digit air temperatures, allowing our heat index to climb above 100° this afternoon.
Very hot conditions will persist across the area this afternoon with temperatures staying around 96 degrees. Dew points are in the mid 60’s which is making it feel a tad sticky out there, with heat index readings near 100. This is not as oppressive as we have seen at times this summer, but it is still quite hot.
Another hot and humid one in store for us today to end off the work week.
We’ll be up to a toasty 90° this afternoon for the high. Dewpoint values continually get higher as the day goes on, reaching up to near 70° by later this evening while everyone is out enjoying some Friday night football.
The smell of corn dogs got caught in the lunchtime air in the Gulch.
Possible it was just me, and I was smelling a mix of construction stench, bachelorette boots, my upper lip, scooter tires, and restaurant exhaust. That this combination makes a corn dog smell is either a local/personal olfactory indictment or some pedal taverner features a corn dog and whiskey cruise which sounds amazing.
The great weather continues.
Dewpoint temperatures will linger in the mid-60s, leading to some stickiness in the air.
So far, the weather seems uneventful for the remainder of the week:
Wednesday: Cold front moves through. One more day of almost oppressive humidity with a dewpoint of 70°. Could see some rain, but that looks unlikely.
