I was tracking it yesterday thinking the same thing that it would end up colder than modeled but it caught up fast in the afternoon. SEA is at 70 right now which is exactly where it was yesterday at this time.
Heading down with my son for our first visit to Omaha today for our annual father/son trip. Going to the Omaha Storm Chasers game tonight and then some State Parks tomorrow. It's looking quite toasty down there, with a high of 97 expected tomorrow and a HI of 108. We were hoping to do some trail walks/hiking but it might be a bit too hot for that. Regardless, looking forward to exploring the Omaha area!
