I can't wait!

HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 8 PM EDT MONDAY

A Heat Advisory Means That A Period Of Hot Temperatures Is Expected. The Combination Of Hot Temperatures And High Humidity Will Combine To Create A Situation In Which Heat Illnesses Are Possible. Drink Plenty Of Fluids... Stay In An Air-Conditioned Room... Stay Out Of The Sun... And Check Up On Relatives And Neighbors.

A Very Hot Air Mass Will Continue To Build In From The West And Be Centered Over The Area Monday And Tuesday.

There Will Be An Increase In Humidity For Monday And Tuesday. The Humidity Combined With The Heat Will Result In Dangerous Conditions. Monday Should Be The Hotter Of The Two Days With Some Locations In The Area Are Expected To Reach 100 Degrees. Afternoon Heat Index Values Are Forecast To Range From 100 To 108. For Tuesday... Temperatures And Heat Index Values Should Be About Two Or Three Degrees Lower Than Those Of Monday. However... Conditions Will Remain Quite Oppressive And The Advisory May Need To Be Extended.



Nothing says JULY TRAINING FUN like a HEAT ADVISORY!

I'm pretty sure I have Bolder to thank for this hot air mass coming my way. Let's see, it doesn't officially start until a half hour after my swim should be done, so maybe I can get going on my bike before it gets real bad.

But no, don't worry, I don't practice "train like you're trying to ensure it's going to be your last day on earth" like some people....
