I hope you were able to stay cool with weekend after the sweltering heat we had. Unfortunately highs in the 90s remain in our future. This afternoon you can expect highs in the lower 90s with a few showers & storms swirling in from south to north. Not everybody will see rain today, these will

The next generation of weather observation satellites continues on next week with the upcoming launch of GOES-U. For the last 50 years, NOAA has operated a family of Geostationary (that is, rotating once ever 24 hours, appearing to “hover” over one spot) satellites solely dedicated to monitoring the entire weather patterns across the entirety of
