THIS IS THAT RAMP THAT TAKES YOU OFF OF 65 ONTO JEFFERSON. WE HAD CARS JUST ZOOMING THROUGH THE PUDDLES CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. YOU COULD EASILY HYDROPLANE. SO IF YOU DO ENCOUNTER ANY PUDDLES, JUST BE SUPER CAREFUL THIS AFTERNOON. IT’S 73 RIGHT NOW. STILL DEALING WITH RAIN. DO YOU THINK WE COULD GET INTO THE MID 80S BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO GET A BREAK FROM THIS RAIN. WE GET ANY SUN THAT’S GOING TO WARM US UP AND THEN JUST ADD FUEL TO ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STORMS LATER ON. AND WE DO HAVE THOSE STORMS FOR TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY MORNING STORMS. THEN WE’RE TRENDING DRIER IN THE AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE HEAT MOVES IN. 91 IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE TRIPLE DIGITS BY THE AFTERNOON AS WE BEGIN TO DRY OUT. AND THEN THURSDAY WE’RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. WE COULD HAVE AN ISOLATED STORM, BUT TEMPERATURES. NOW THAT’S GOING TO BE THE BIG STORY. WE WILL BE SWEATING. I’LL LET Y
