The NWS warns that the high temperatures those days are expected to be in the upper 80s to mid-90s, and that could be a health risk for some. Read the full text of the alert here.

I lived in Hawaii for four years and it seldom got into the 90s! Has that changed? Now if we were talking about where I lived right AFTER Hawaii … Las Vegas … then yeah, this would sound like a cold spell …

My Dallas cousin claims that it doesn’t even start to get got until it gets into the 90’s. Anything below that is just a nice spring day. (shakes head) How did a nice Hoosier boy go so wrong?

Sorry, comment time is over.
