HOT HOT HOT THEN COOL COOL COOL

Here is my comfort index. I was outside earlier today, and within 3 minutes of being outside, I started sweating. So, with that, plus being on a broken foot, and using my crutches today, I give today's comfort index a:


IF ANYONE IS READING THIS AND LIVES IN THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES, GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT A 10: YOU GUYS ARE UNDER AN OZONE ACTION DAY: MARION, HAMILTON, BOONE, HANCOCK, SHELBY, JOHNSON, MORGAN, HENDRICKS.

Here is what an Ozone Action Day is: As taken from the NWS

AN OZONE ACTION DAY MEANS THAT A COMBINATION OF THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES...LIGHT WINDS...AND OTHER FACTORS...ARE EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE CONDITIONS WHERE HIGH LEVELS OF OZONE EMISSIONS...MAY
EXCEED FEDERALLY MANDATED STANDARDS.

HERE ARE SOME RECOMMENDED ACTIONS THAT THE PUBLIC CAN TAKE TO REDUCE
OZONE FORMING EMISSIONS.

RIDE THE BUS INSTEAD OF TAKING YOUR CAR.
CAR-POOL WITH A FRIEND OR CO-WORKER.
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT IN DRIVE THRU LANES.
POSTPONE FILLING OR TOPPING OFF YOUR GAS TANK UNTIL AFTER DARK.
PUT OFF MOWING YOUR LAWN UNTIL AFTER 600 PM.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO TOMORROW: There is a 40% Chance of Isolated Thunderstorms tomorrow. Tomorrow's high is 87. But ALAS!!!! THE COLD FRONT COMES IN!!! highs in the low 80's all week next week!!!

Have a nice weekend!!

Stay Cool
