1988 High Temp Record Broken Saturday

WHIO-TV:

Saturday was another record-breaker for temperatures, according to Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Erica Collura.
She said the high Saturday afternoon was 102. That broke a record of 100 set in 1911 and 1988.
There was a severe thunderstorm warning near Sabina in Warren County. The thunderstorm did not cause any damage.  There were also a few isolated downpours reported in southern Greene and northern Clinton counties, but there were no warnings associated with those, according to Collura.

"A funny story Saturday, said Collura. "There was an erroneous temperature spike to 107 degrees a little after 1 p.m. at the Dayton Airport. A call placed to the observer indicated that it was an error due to explosions near the sensor from the air show."
The corrected temperature, based on five minutes of data, was actually 102.

Breaking a record from 1988, especially during pollination, is a bad sign.  The forecast for the week is also a bad sign, even though the heat is breaking.  If we don't get rain today, we're going to have a mess on our hands.  And even if we get rain today, it may be too late for much of the corn.
