Hey Jim, Glenn and Kristi!

I wanted to say thanks for including the Heat Index in the weather forecasts over the past week and a half.

I work outside - so the Heat Index/Wind Chill (HA - when will THAT come back!)/"Feels Like" temp is much more relevant to me than the actual temperature.  Is this going to become a regular thing? Maybe not on every '5' but at least on a particular one - like the Weather Baby? I really hope so. (I've hated having to to get the Comfort Zone from someone else - I'd much rather get it from you guys!)

I also think it's really cool that  Jim shows us, or explains, the calculation that estimates the Heat Index. Rather than it just being some arbitrary number.

 Thanks again! You guys Rock!

They have been using the heat index for a while now, at least the past few years on various local news stations, and also the weather channel has that as well.
The local weather news usually only uses it when it's a good differnce between the actual temp and the heat index, same thing with wind chill.

I'm originally from near Boston and now live in Central Florida. I love animals and country music (especially Jim Van Fleet and the Reign! lol). I like sports, especially basketball (Go Celtics!!). I like to dive, fish, shoot, horseback riding - 'outdoorsey' stuff. I'm also a bit of a 'science geek'. I'm not sure how often I'll blog - but it's fun getting to know the Fox Team and others who watch.
