This podcast discusses the hot to very hot weather occurring in the desert southwest and northern intermountain region,  how the severe weather potential over the Midwest moves to the east coast on Friday, the 4 consecutive days of highs from 86° (over soil moist grounds but climatology supports 90° for St.Louis despite soil moist grounds) to 96° (mid 90s where downslope winds occur or larger cities or lower dew point air (Baltimore and Philadelphia are the cities in mind) over the Midwest and east coast, connection between soil moisture and little if any climate change, how soil moisture is having a clear impact on dew point this year and how this will reduce temperatures in midwest for the upcoming heat, upslope winds increase temperature for Baltimore, the backdoor cold front that may overtake Boston on Tuesday (see podcast picture) or Wednesday but heat returns for Thursday (even Boston), the large contrast in temperature over North Dekota expected Tuesday, the severe weather outbreak for North Dakota expected Saturday. This podcast comes with background music in order to enhance the experience of "suspense"  and an entertaining song at the end.  It will be interesting monitoring the temperatures in Massachusetts next week especially since both the coldest and possibly even the hottest temp may occur  in that state. Hope you all enjoy!
