So we went from snow a few days ago to tornadoes today!

INTENSE HEAT WAVE TO BUILD
BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
Latest forecast models indicate
that temperatures will soar to the upper nineties and lower
one-hundreds from Sunday into late next week. This will
make for miserable conditions across this region.
Dangerous heat index values of 105-115 can be expected during
this time period.
REMEMBER WINTER ISN'T FAR OFF!!!!
Counting the days!
