Another heavy dose of heat & humidity........

As we approach the "hottest time" of the year across the U.S., another burst of extreme heat will anchor itself across the Midwest with high temperatures once again pushing the upper 90s to 100 degrees.  Heat index values will easily reach the 105-110 degree mark.  For those of you who are begging for rain, we have another serious stat to include.  The drought conditions continue to get worse with another 10-15 days of minimal precipitation expected.  Take a look at the image below.......this map shows how much precipitaiton is needed across different parts of the country just to return to the AVERAGE value.
