THE TEMPERATURE'S RISING, IT ISN'T SURPRISING

NYC might actually get its first 90+ (f) temperature day of the summer today. The weather forecasters keep "fudging" - it may only get to 89 in the city, with New Jersey getting the 90+ mark. We had a series of killer storms overnight, and the big story today will be the combined heat & humidity (currently 70%). As I write this paragraph it is just 9:00 am, and the temperature at the weather station about 2 blocks away is 80 degrees, while midtown the official temperature is just 76 degrees. I plan to stay indoors, at least until 6:00 pm, hoping to make at 7:00 pm show tonight. I'll repeat the current temperatures at the bottom of this issue just before it goes out some time around 12:30 pm.
