We're supposed to get some storms here as well, but it's just so unpredictable. Hard to really ever know. But it's kinda clouding up outside, so maybe. They'll probably be pretty violent.

As of 3:40pm ET, we're now at 96 with a heat index of 110. It's pretty toasty out there, and the humidity is really making it bad. I've been to Arizona, pumping gas in my car in 114 degrees. But I was stunned at how bearable it was, in the shade and with some wind. Yes, it's hot. But I wasn't sticking to myself and coated in sweat, and I felt like I could actually breath. Give me 110 in Arizona over 90 here in Tennessee, any day.

It's the humidity that makes all the difference.
