Hot in the City ,,,

Rare is the opportunity when I can combine my two passions - sports and the weather - but today I will indulge myself.
The afternoon rumble of thunderstorms in Santa Fe is a welcome sight for the football teams practicing in the North today, especially since they all start strapping on the shoulder pads. For three straight days, the temperature gauge has cross into the 90-degree range early in the afternoon, which means the days are sweltering for the players.
But the thunderstorm today will ease the heat and the concerns of coaches paying attention to their players water intake.
The National Weather Service at the Santa Fe Municipal Airport read 90 at 3 p.m. today, but the coming storm no doubt dropped the reading a few degrees.
Even better is the news that thunderstorms are expected in the area for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening.
