In that kind of heat it will be hard for almost any AC to cool a building below 20* the outside temp.

Amen! A quick story... The boat I was on in the Marines was climate controlled. Whatever the climate was outside, was the climate inside... And when you are in the Persian Gulf, in July, it gets kinda warm....

The End is Near! The End is Near! A gray sludge fell from the sky like rain. All the ashes from the fires of the past 2 weeks just west of Tulsa. 69 structures burned last night and today in one fire near Terlton. Terlton , Oilton, Mannford, Hallet, and parts of Cleveland were evacuated this afternoon. 111F temps and 30+ MPH winds coupled with the drought combined into quite a firestorm. When the rain hit it smelled like smoke and ash. The rain is much needed. Prayers for all the families that have lost there homes over the past week. There are more 90s than 100s in the forcast over the comming week. YEA!

Hopefully your rain will continue for a while and your temps will drop.

Thunderstorms in the Texas panhandle and Oklahoma could ruin our shot at breaking the triple-digit record set in 1980, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth said Thursday morning. Saturday’s high is now expected to reach only 99 degrees, said meteorologist Jason Dunn. As of Thursday, Dallas-Fort Worth had recorded 40 straight triple-digit days. The temperature is expected to top 100 again today, and Friday's forecast calls for another day of triple-digit temperatures. If we hit 100 on Friday, we'll tie the record of 42 straight days, set in the horrific summer of 1980. But Saturday might be another story. "We're talking about one degree,” Dunn said. “If there were no record involved, it would be no big deal.” Dunn said thunderstorms popping up in the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma could provide just enough cloud cover in North Texas to cool temperatures, which have been 9 to 12 degrees above normal this month. “It’s a favorable setup for those to move in our general direction,” he said. Still, Dunn said not to expect much, if any, rain with the system. Thursday night into Friday morning, and again Friday night into Saturday morning, areas to the west and north of Dallas-Fort Worth may see a 10 to 20 percent chance of rain, Dunn said. But, after the brief "cool" spell, expect more of what we've seen since July 2 -- hot, Dunn said. Highs Sunday through Thursday are expected to reach 102 to 104, with overnight lows at 81 to 84, Dunn said. Today's forecast high is 103. The temperature hit 104 on Wednesday, making it the 40th day in a row with highs of 100 degrees or higher. "In other words, hot, dry weather," meteorologist Joe Harris said. He attributed Friday's "cooler" forecast of 100 to "an upper-level high sitting over North Texas that is going to shift west and weaken slightly, resulting in temperatures being just a little bit cooler." The 42-day streak was June 23 through Aug. 3, 1980. The current streak began July 2, but it really took hold this month, when the average high has been 106.6 degrees. "Everybody's cheering to keep the record going," Harris said. "They're saying, 'Let's do it. Let's make it 42, 43.' " He understands that some people, excited about bragging rights, may be disappointed to come so close to the record but miss. But he doubts that many people are calling to break the record of 69 overall 100-degree days, also set in 1980. "Nobody in their right mind wants to beat that record," Harris said. "That's a hateful record." Wednesday was this year's 47th 100-degree day, or the fifth-most on record. Today would make it 48, tying 1956 for fourth.

Just a little. Personally I am just saying if the next week is supposed to be 102+ we might as well make saturdays 99 a 100+ and break the record instead of tying it. If we do hit saturday we have another 5 days to tack onto the new record for sure.

Had a nasty T-storm go through Looneyville Saturday afternoon and knocked power out to over a 100,000 homes. They cancelled the first day of school because so many are still without power. The temp.s are in the low, low 70s now, and only going to 82*. I need a sweater; not really, but it's a change.
Hopefully it will cool off for the hunt.

Hey when you go from 100+ to 49, it's not cool, it's cold.

Still wearing shorts. I have enough heat built up it will take a while to cool off. It was hot in Texas too. The first day was all in the sun and I got dehydrated. Stagering around and cramps. ------- The stagering could have been Cheaptricks Tennessee squeezings.
