This week will be a transition week to lower temperatures and
humidities. Temperatures and humidities will not be quite as high
later in the week. In fact... high temperatures will be mostly in
the lower to mid 80s Thursday... with lows in the 50s.

Final statistics will not be ready until September... but it
appears the Summer of 2010 will be among the ten hottest on record
at Paducah... Evansville... and Poplar Bluff.
