Age old silly question - "Hot enough for you?"

I love lightning pictures and this is a nice one. Thanks today to Jim and Glenda Knapp of Soddy Daisy for sending this shot of a storm over Cleveland, TN last night. It's appropriate for Lightning Safety Awareness Week this week. I wish we had more lightning pictures coming in, because we are really baking the area dry. Chattanooga's Lovell Field hit 94 this afternoon. 95 in Fort Payne.....and I'm not sure what's up with Rome, GA but the hourly ob at 3 pm was 99, and at 4 pm it hit 101. (I have been noticing Rome's tendency for rather high afternoon readings lately. But even if you shave 5 degrees off that it's still scorching if you're working outside.)
A few storms drifting out of Kentucky will move into parts of Tennessee, but I think they will have a hard time making it this far south. And with the exception of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we should stay dry Wednesday and Thursday. By the way, summer officially arrives tomorrow morning at 8:26 am. This weekend a front sags closer to the region helping us with scattered showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours.
Here we go:
Wednesday - Hazy sunshine highs around 95.
Thursday - Partly cloudy with highs around 94.
Friday through Sunday - Partly cloudy with a 30% to 40% chance for an afternoon storm. Highs from 89 to 92.
