at this afternoon's high temperature the Grove was running a fever. 

of course that depends on who you ask; over across the tracks the elementary school's weatherbug station weatherbug_wges registered a high of only 95.7°f but intellicast.com claims we made it to 99°f.  their web page cites as a source KCGS, a small airfield over in the next county but I don't know whether they adjust the reading when attributing it to here.
