Going to the desert to beat the heat

Today it is going to be 100 degrees Saturday it was 96. Yesterday it was 98. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 94. Wednesday we leave for Las Vegas. Who would have thought we would have to go to the desert to get away from the heat??? Now that's irony Is anyone else experiencing a heat wave in their area?

We are supposed to have heat indexes in the 100s today. As usual for around here, its not the heat, its the humidity... No joke...

We had 4 days with HHH (hazy, hot, and humid) but we had a HUGE storm last night and it brought a cooler front in - today we're only going to hit 80!
Stay cool everyone!
