Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area, where the heat indices are in the 100-110 range depending on location. You have to go 100+ miles to find indices that are under 100 - the shore will be pushing 100 with the heat index too.

It’s just incredibly humid and hot, and that means that there’s a chance of strong/severe t-storms in the area. We were visiting friends yesterday, and driving back home in the evening along the NJ Turnpike was a real treat - watching thunderstorms in the distance with all their majesty and power. It was an incredible light show where for the 90 minutes of driving we had constant lighting among two major cells as we were heading north.

Today looks like there’ll be more of the same.

Guess heading to the mall is a good idea - at least it’ll be cool.
