Record Heat
Posted: (June 08, 2008 05:02 pm)
Richmond topped out at 100 degrees yesterday breaking the old record of 99 for the date of 1984. This is a far cry from the temperatures from March to May that was one of the coolest on record. Temperatures averaged 51.4 during that period. The high temperatures combined with ozone prompted the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to issue Code Orange alerts for Richmond and the surrounding areas.
On my first tour of Iraq we saw temperatures around 150 F. I really do not like the heat but it's nothing to complain about. Looks like more of the same for the rest of the week and let's just hope the high pressure system over the state will break down soon. I lived in Texas for about 15 years and know these types of pressure systems can last for awhile.
No Big Changes

Yea the fronts will move off the coast up here in PA and Jersey forget it down there. The front will get hung up giving you minimal relief from the heat. At least you are not out where Alicia is then 110 everyday 5 months out of the year with a boring weather pattern to boot. Kevin

Nasty heat so early in the season. Looks like severe weather may be a bigger threat north than here today, what's your call ?
