Warm and Windy

Another warm one across the state today so have the sunscreen and water bottle handy if you are spending more then a few minutes outdoors today. Thankfully will be at least 5 degrees shy of record highs so wont have to worry about that. But regardless, it's still going to be hot. However, one of the models is actually hinting that temperatures could be several degrees warmer then we are anticipating which would bring them very close to record highs. Here are the temperatures its predicting at 4pm.The part of this map that stands out to me the most is that pink dot in south central South Dakota, that signifies the 100 degree mark. Wow, that's crazy warm. I don't have any temperatures quite that warm in my forecast but this shows that the potential is there for even warmer weather.

Its also going to be windy, especially across the south with winds sustained anywhere from 20 -30 mph. Here is what we are looking at. Take note of the wind shift line, that's the cold front that moved through overnight retreating back to the north.
