Talking about the weather... Part Deux!
Many moons ago, I posted an entry about the rarity with which weather forecasters ever mention record "high low" or record "low high" temperatures, in spite of their obsession with record absolute high and low temperatures. Well, imagine my surprise when I saw this little public information statement when I checked my local weather on Weather Underground today:
Statement as of 10:42 am EDT on May 27, 2006

... Record high minimum temperature tie is possible at Roanoke...

The low temperature so far today at Roanoke is 69 degrees. The temperature is not expected to fall below 69 degrees the remainder of the day. If the low does not fall below 69 degrees... the previous record high minimum temperature... that was set in 1991... will be tied. If the old record is tied... a record report will be issued.
A record high low temperature! Fancy that! You can be sure I'll be checking back to see if the record was set, but in the meantime I am pleased to know that the National Weather Service has got my back. All the weatha foo's in the house say HHHEEEYYY!
