Right now here it's 82 F with a 70 F dew point, as I go out for a run.

I haven't ran yet with temps above 75. I wonder how I'll do. I noticed muggy and warm slows me down.

THERE IS MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH LI`S OF -2 TO -6 C AND UP TO 40 KT OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR. WITH MAX TEMPS APPROACHING 90...HAVE TO THINK AT LEAST SCT TSTMS FOR THE INLAND AREAS
