HIGHS OF THE 10 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AND THE POSSIBILITY OF RECORD CHALLENGING HEAT IS CERTAINLY ON THE TABLE BUT KEEP THIS IN MIND, THIS COULD WORSEN THE DROUGHT WITH NO REAL SIGNIFICANT RAIN ON THE WAY AND WE DID NOT HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND NOW MARCH SO WE DEFINITELY NEEDED THE RAIN BUT IT'S NOT IN THE FORECAST.
