I read this article this morning in the Cincinnati Enquirer. I thought it pretty much summed up the weather situation that we have been having in the Ohio Valley.
Steamy again
Another record possible today, then relief this weekend

Getting tired of the heat? Too bad. With another record broken Thursday and a possible record high today, August is quickly losing its appeal. National Weather Service meteorologists say a persistent area of high pressure is blocking possible cool fronts from reaching here.
For the fourth time this month, the thermometer soared into triple digits. Thursday's high was 100 degrees, breaking the previous record of 96 for the date in 1948. It is the third record broken this month. Aug. 8 and 16 were 100 and 101, respectively.
The weekend should bring some relief from the oppressive heat."It's going to be slightly better Saturday," meteorologist Brian Coniglio said this morning. "Sunday's about the coolest day we'll see for awhile."The high for Saturday is expected to be around 90 degrees. Sunday's high is expected to be in the mid-80s.There's a 50% chance of thunderstorms Saturday during the day, and a 40 percent chance Saturday night.
