Record for June Broken!!!/When the Heat Wave will Break!

HURRICANES AND WEATHER

Both Atlantic and Pacific tropics have quited.

Very hot across south central US with lots of 90s and 100s. 80s and 70s for the rest of the country and notice the 3 risk areas for severe weather. Ridge will ease west over the weekend and that should cut the extreme heat by a few degrees in Texas.

In the meantime, Houston hit 104 on Wed. This is the all time hottest ever for Houston in the month of June. Previous record was set on June 30th 1980-103 and there was also a 103 in 1918. Expect it to be 100+ again today. This morning's low was a steamy 84 and if it doesn't drop below that by midnight, that will be a record high minimum.

...HEAT ADVISORY FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS...

Want to get on the Internet no matter where you are but don't want to spend $60 per month on a wireless device? Make your PDA (smartphone a wireless device for only $30 per month). I just called Verizon and they talked me through it. It took some finagling (maybe because of Vista) but the bottom line is that it is working now!!! And my connection does not disconnect when someone calls me!

Have a safe day everyone!
