...A HOT WEEKEND TO START SUMMER...

THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR SO FAR ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S ACROSS THE MID
STATE...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 100 AND 105.

THE EXPECTED HIGH FOR FRIDAY IN NASHVILLE IS ABOUT 96 DEGREES. THE
NORMAL HIGH IS 86...AND THE RECORD HIGH IS 100 DEGREES. AT
CROSSVILLE...WE EXPECT A HIGH AROUND 90...WHICH WOULD BREAK THE
PREVIOUS RECORD OF 89 SET IN 1994. THE NORMAL HIGH FOR CROSSVILLE
IS 81.

TEMPERATURES IN NASHVILLE LAST HIT 95 DEGREES ON AUGUST 20TH IN
2008. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE...SO IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO REVIEW SOME
HEAT SAFETY RULES.

THE ELDERLY...SMALL CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN HEALTH
CONCERNS ARE MOST AT RISK DURING HOT WEATHER.

STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE REDUCED OR RESCHEDULED FOR THE
COOLER PARTS OF THE DAY.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING IS BEST.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

AVOID PROLONGED SUN EXPOSURE AND SUNBURN.

STAY IN AIR CONDITIONED PLACES IF POSSIBLE.

THIS WARM WEATHER ARRIVES RIGHT ON TIME. THE OFFICIAL START OF THE
SUMMER SEASON WILL BE SUNDAY...JUNE 21...AT 1246 AM CDT.

To add insult to the misery of the heat, I just sat in an hour long line at the emissions testing place in a steaming hot car with crappy a/c only to fail the test for the second year in a row. Last year it cost me $700.00 to pass. Wonder what the bill will be this time?

I passed last year but I remember sitting in a ridiculously long line at the Berry Hill vehicle inspection line and my air conditioner randomly going out for the first and only time ever. It kicked back on when I drove off and has worked perfectly since. I remember having sweat dripping off me when the guy came up to my car.

This is one of the few times weather wise I'm glad live in Nashville and not Memphis. There is a 3-4 degree difference in highs between us and it makes a noticeable difference when you are outside.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Memphis&state=TN&site=MEG&textField1=35.1056&textField2=-90.007&e=0

Either way they are both hot

Really?why?

[Crockett]

I'm loving it. Hot weather without a threat of rain . . . ABOUT TIME!! I didn't think the cloudy weather with a daily threat of thunderstorms would ever end. Took the kids to the doctor this morning for a check-up and since I was already out of the office I played hooky the rest of the day and came home and laid around the pool. 

Course, we don't often get above 90 here on top of the Plateau so that makes it a little more bearable than in the heat islands of Nashville and Memphis or even Knoxville. 88 was our high this afternoon.

[Clay]

Really?why?

Just referring to the next couple days of heat being a little bit warmer to our west.

Okay well...  Yes and no and sorta.

I was tired of the storms, ready for the high pressure, but not quite ready for the heat and humidity.  lol. 

I guess beggars can't be choosers
