I had to laugh when I tuned into KCSM this morning and heard the program host announce that a "heat warning" is in effect in the Bay Area this week. Wh-a-a-a...? So I surfed into the NWS website to see what the forecast looks like - a high in the low 80's this week! Ha! I'll some that heat warning business here in the NE Illinois area where the weather turned to crap overnight from rain yesterday and temps in the upper 50's snow and sleet overnight, temps in the low 20's, and howling wind with the ground covered. Seems like in never fails when tournament time rolls around in March the weather goes in every direction. Enjoy the heat warning this week out there in 'frisco.
