P/S......Steve aka Alskahuna, "DON'T EVEN SAY A WORD!"...let me relish in this forecast, a guy can DREAM, correct?

that we'll have a period of light winds but remember that we are coming into June which can still be windy in the high country during the first half of the month (or all month like last year). It will be hot officially with TUS and PHX looking at 100F readings (at those places it's not hot until it hits 100F-90's are only warm) and we are looking at 90's with 100F possible in Douglas and Benson.
