How nice was this past weekend? Ok, we could have used a lot more rain, but the clouds and the 80 degree temperatures were perfect. Unfortunately, August heat is returning, and with a bit of a vengeance. I admit I thought after the weekend we were on the downhill slide, whoops, bad error in judgement. Come on, you know you had the same thought! This is Arklahoma, and September can be a scorcher! Take a look at the 90 day outlook for our area. Looks like the chance for above average temperatures will carry us right into fall. 850 temperatures increase this week, so expect highs in the 90s right into the weekend.




On the other hand, I should not be complaining about our tranquil weather. My heart goes out to those impacted by Hurricane Dean. This storm is a Category 5 monster! Jamaica for the most part was fortunate, but look at this satellite picture of the Yucatan Peninsula. Here is a picture of Dean while he was a minor tropical disturbance. It's hard to believe a blob of convection can turn into something so organized!
