Hmmm… maybe I’m better off skipping my ride until tomorrow or Monday even.

“The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch… Effective this Saturday morning from 715 am until noon CDT. Hail to 2 inches in diameter… thunderstorm wind gusts to 70 mph… and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.”

And if that’s not bad enough, we’re also blessed with this:

“… Heat advisory in effect from 10 am this morning to 7 PM CDT this evening… Temperatures in the 90s combined with relative humidity from 45 to 50 percent will make it feel more like 105 later today. A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids… stay in an air-conditioned room… stay out of the sun… and check up on relatives and neighbors.”

Sounds like a good day to stay inside and watch the tour!
