DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - WAND Weather received a disturbing letter in the mail today. In our journalistic openness, the letter is printed in its entirety below.
Dear WAND viewers,
It’s me, Mother Nature, your friendly neighborhood climate goddess, here to deliver some awesome news. I’ve decided to bring back high humidity! Apparently, you all missed the feeling of walking through a tropical rainforest every time you step outside.
Yes, that’s right. Get ready to sweat like you’ve just run a marathon, even if you’ve only just taken out the trash. I thought, “Why not make mornings more interesting?” Nothing like a sudden wave of muggy air to remind you that your deodorant isn’t quite enough.
Oh, don’t worry, I’ve also added some fun perks to make your day go by faster. Things like clothes clinging to you, hair that refuses to cooperate (hello, frizzies!), and an irresistible desire to sip water every five minutes. It’s like my personal version of a spa day. So, feel and hear the wrrrrr of fans, the push of artificially cooled air, and embrace the sticky, steamy hug of high humidity. After all, who needs dry, comfortable weather when you can have a nonstop sauna party?
Yours in moist merriment,
Mother Nature
Thunderstorms will also be on the prowl; the wettest timeframe arriving Thursday night and Friday.
Stay safe, stay sweaty and stay weather-aware.
