CLOSING DATE: July 8,1988 •Salary Range effective on July 1,1988. By Elson Armstrong, Jr. What’s this? High temperatures for Durharr and the Triangle for the first halt oi this week were to get no higher than the upper 80s and the lows at night down into the 60sl! What gives? Have the topsy-turvy weather pailerns reversed themselves and brought back winter — or more likely spring or fall — as we go into July, traditionally the hottest month of the year in North Carolina? Relax. The weather world — which is crazy enough most of the time — this week has actually reverted to more normal levels for the Duiham-Chapel Hill-Raleigh region. Instead of highs of over 100°, which we got used to over much of the final week of June, this week the weather service in ou: region could expect 80“ days, 60 nights with (thank goodness lower humidity levels. Northwesterly winds blew tha ever present milky haze tha covered the area out to sea. Th? normal high for Durban at this time of the year is 87-8! degree.s; the normal low, 64. This shows how much above normal the temperatures have been recently. On Sat., June 25, Durham got a break as a pocket of relatively cooler dry air moved down from lie noithea.stern U.S. The high in Durham on Satur- Jn\ barely made it to 90°. It was li.iilor in Asheville with 93°. It i-.n often that the mountain city heals out Durham in a warm weather month. While Columbia. S.C., was a Ijiile cooler at 95°, Atlanta was well within the hot air with iemperatutes flirting with 100. Many cities across the midwest r,!’-! just west of the Carolinas ,i/z!ed on June 25. Cleveland. Ohio, which hadn’t reached 100° since 1955, hit 101; Chicago tied its all-time high with a 105° reading on the lake front; South Bend, Indiana almost saw the Golden Dome of Notre Dame melt with a high mark of 101; Huntington, W. Va. hit 100; Fort Wayne, Indiana, 105; Milwaukee, Wis., 100; Mon tgomery, the capital of Alabama hit 105° and the .Alabama gover nor asked citizens of his state to pray for rain. On the night of June 25, Durhamites noticed that- although the sky was clear and a beautiful Carolina half moon dominated the heavens, the wind switched to a southerly direction (they had been from the nor theast all day) and it became warm and still. The warm front had brought the heat wave back to central North Carolina. On Sunday, June 26, Durham and surrounding cities joined the 100-degree club while cities like Chicago cooled off by as much as 40°! Raleigh and Fort Bragg each reached 100°, Columbia, S.C. and Nashville, Tenn., 103; and back here in Durham it hit 105 at 3:48 p.m. One man in southeastern Durham said it was so hot that he had to abandon an outdoor fish fry in favor of cool and comfort inside his home. The sizzling streets gave Durham an eerie look on the hot Sunday afternoon as most people stayed inside. The few who ven tured outside in the mid afternoon heat did so in cars or those who walked stayed in shade or near pools. By early evening a line of severe thunderstorms rolled across North Carolina. In Durham, sharp, vivid lightning put on a spectacular show while some parts of Durham were hit by winds of near 50 mph and marble sized hail. In Greensboro, the high winds caused a tree to fall on an eight- year-old boy, killing him. In Charlotte, a man in a boat on a lake was killed by lightning. On a happier note, the weather in Durham and the Triangle on Monday was quite refreshing. 1 he downtown high of 83° seem ed fall-like when compared to most recent days. It was to remain pleasant the rest of this week with iho b»-* possibly returning by Monday, July 4. By the way, Durham’s hottest July 4 occurred in 1966 with a high of 103 degrees.
