AS oppressive heat continues to impact the central US – the heat is definitely on throughout the parks as well. As temperatures ramp up through the rest of the week to top out in the mid 90s. Now keep in mind this is just about where we should be this time of year but trust me – I understand, it is pretty hot out there so make sure the kids have plenty of water. Also while not convenient the best bet is to always get there for the park opening and then take a couple hours off and hang by the pool throughout the heat of the day.
So for today the set up is like any typical day with afternoon heating firing up some afternoon thunderstorms. The chances actually decrease as we head through the rest of the week which is good news for all park goers. Highs will be in the mid 90s throughout the weekend with thunderstorm chances being minimal.
Not too exciting but generally that is a good thing. Other bit of good news – the tropics are rather quiet as well as we head into the heart of the season. Some dry saharan air is actually helping in that department as well.
