High And Hot By The Numbers...

Hello Again!

With a chance to look over some data, I thought I'd see if any records came down...one did, one tied.  I have the high temperature from the National Weather Service, and historical data from Weather.com, who also pulls from the NWS, but their format is easier to use.  I have the city, high for today, and record high...

• Jackson - High 98 Record 101 (1971)
• Battle Creek - High 99 Record 101 (1971)
• Lansing - High 98  Record 97 (1934) RECORD BROKEN
• St. John's/Corunna (Owosso) - High 96 Record 99 (1988)
• Ann Arbor - High 100 Record 103 (1934)
• Coldwater - High 100 Record 102 (1988)
• Adrian - High 102 Record 104 (1988) HOT SPOT
• Hillsdale - High 102 Record 104 (1988) HOT SPOT
• Howell - High 99 Record 101 (1988)
• Charlotte - High 98 Record 101 (1953)
• Mason - High 100 Record 100 (unknown) RECORD TIED

Here's the Heat Index highs for today, and the time they were recorded:

• Jackson - 106 at 4:56PM
• Battle Creek - 104 at 3:53PM
• Lansing - 106 at 5:53PM
• St. John's/Corunna - 103 at 5:34PM
• Ann Arbor - 110 at 4:53PM HOT SPOT
• Coldwater - 105 at 3:35PM
• Adrian - 108 at 5:53PM
• Hillsdale - 109 at 4:35PM
• Howell - 103 at 4:15PM
• Charlotte - 106 at 2:55PM
• Mason - 107 at 4:32PM

Looks like my heat index forecast was a bust for not being hot enough...oh my!  We see only a tiny bit of relief tomorrow!  For the record, my daytime forecast high for today would have been 97.
