Looking back at the record book, the hottest start to the month I could find was 1961:1961FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY:More of the same, basically. Small chance for a shower or storm Friday and Saturday, but then Sunday and Monday will be dry and stifling.CANFIELD FAIR SCHEDULE:I will be in the WFMJ tent Saturday from 9am-1pm and Sunday from 1pm-5pm. Come over and say hi!LONG RANGE: A difficult forecast for the period after that holiday weekend as a slow-moving, wavy front will meander through the region, providing a few chances for rain. The heat will be trimmed but it won't exactly be crisp and cool just yet.
