Next October 20th, you will be atop Mt. Cheaha with autumn color at a peak and enjoying a prize-winning meal at the breakfast buffet. ...or...

You will be camping in Desoto State Park ...or...

You will be taking a drive up the Paint Rock Valley along the banks of the Paint Rock River.

The date was picked at random, of course, but by then, you will not even remember these high temperatures today:

96 in Anniston
97 in Huntsville and at Shelby County Airport
98 in Decatur and Muscle Shoals
99 in Birmingham, Evergreen, Jasper, Crumly Chapel
100 in Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Cordova (7th day so far with 100 in Cordova)
101 in Alabaster

While we are losing our cool over the heat, here is some more:

109 in Lawton, Okla.
103 in Salt lake City
105 in Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, Shreveport, Oklahoma City, Rapid City
108 in Wichita
108 in Wichita Falls, Tex.
112 in Las Vegas
107 in Phoenix
95 in Chicago
125 in Death Valley (the national high today)

October is on the way

JB I am in Chicago this week and I can attest to the heat here. People around here are not as used to it as we are, even though it happens from time to time. There are a lot more "heat advisories" mentioned by the media here than I am used to in Alabama. Nevertheless, it IS hot; so hot, in fact, that a can of Coke exploded in my car.

Hey JB add my high of 101.0 in Alabaster and Stephanie your weather station might be closer to being right since I got that hot today.
