At 6 AM this morning it is 80 degrees with a feels like of 90. Yowza that's a bit warm. It got up to the high nineties yesterday with a feels like in the 100s. Nashville is even warmer with a feels like yesterday of at least 110.
We had a short Spring. Jumping right into Summer.
Be careful out there. Heat can be a surprise killer.
