Special Weather Warning!


This morning I log on to find that there is an active "Special Weather Statement" from the National Weather Service for "Redwood Coast, California":

Statement as of 5:33 AM PDT on May 12, 2009

... Hot daytime temperatures expected over the weekend...

A strong ridge of high pressure will build over the West Coast on Friday prompting daytime temperatures to climb well above normal over the weekend. Although uncertainty remains as to how hot it will get...coastal locations could see highs in the mid 60s ...with temperatures soaring into the mid and upper 90s across interior valleys.

These conditions may pose heat-related risks to individuals who will be outdoors for extended periods of time. If you plan to be outside... wear a hat and loose-fitting clothing... and be sure to drink plenty of water. More detailed information is available from the National Weather Service at weather.Gov/Eureka.

(emphasis added)

Ohmygawd...temps in the mid-60s? Whatever shall we do?!?

As my friend David likes to say, "just another day in Paradise."
