Re: Hi Near 99

My sister in Dothan, AL has seen 103 two days in a row now with a heat index as high as about 113. Tallhassee hit 103 two days ago. 102 in Tallhassee at 4PM EDT.

Tampa had a record high low of 81 yesterday. (83 at St. Pete - Albert Whitted Airport) Today's low in Tampa was 83. They will not put out the records for another hour probably, but if that holds for the day, I'm thinking that would probably be a record.

The lowest feels like temp in Tampa today was 94 degrees! It felt like 94 briefly at 4AM. 96 by 5AM. Most of the night felt like 96. Felt like 100 by 8AM.

So far Tampa has only been as high as 96 during this heat wave, which is still three degrees from the airport's all time record high for any day of the year. Tampa doesn't usually get extreme heat, but we also don't cool down much at night like other places.
