Our streak of 100 degree days has ended at 6 with a high of 99 today.
Only three times in the last 25 years have we had streaks 5 or more 100
degree days in a row. The years are 2007, 2000 and 1988. So about once
every 8 to 10 years do we see a heatwave like this. Hot weather will
continue with highs in the middle to upper 90s.

My thinking on Dean remains
the same. It still looks like highs pressure over the southern state
will steer the storm well to our south. Keep checking back though as
this will be a powerful storm in the Caribbean.

Gilbert of 1988 did indeed have a similar track. Gilbert is one of the strongest hurricanes on record.
