Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 21, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 21, 2011 12:30PM

Well we made it through yesterday intact and without having to decamp to a coffeehouse to take advantage of the AC. Can we make it two days in a row? Signs point to "maybe." It's going to be hot, but not as hot as yesterday (as if two degrees is really going to make a big difference with triple digit heat indexes). Both Skilling Central and Accuweather are calling for afternoon thunderstorms. With the humidity levels, that's like trying to wash away a syrup stain with honey. If the rain does come down, enjoy the soup.
