Thu, Aug 21 - Another hot one; Cool weather coming.
Yesterday we reached a high of 98.5*F on campus. My station at Manti High school reached 100.9*F. This ties the 2nd hottest day this summer. As we approached the peak temperature in the afternoon, clouds moved in. Clouds are great insulators, so they helped the high temperatures to linger for most of the afternoon. The high pressure system that has been sitting over us for weeks is weakening and moving off. As a result, temperatures will start dropping over the weekend and humid air will move into the area, bringing chances for precipitation at least through the middle of next week. High temperatures over the weekend will be in the mid-80's, and the current forecast for next Wednesday is down into the 70's!
