In a shocking turn of events, Mother's Day weekend has coincided with the West experiencing a sudden and inexplicable surge in temperature, because what's more important than making mom proud than setting some records? The ridge of high pressure that's been building up over the region is just thrilled to be here, and we can't wait for it to reach its peak on Monday and Tuesday. After all, what says "I love you, mom" like a nice scorching heatwave?
"We're expecting temperatures to soar to levels previously thought impossible by even the most seasoned meteorologists," said Dr. John Smith, a leading expert in weather forecasting (not really). "It's going to be so hot that moms will be able to cook their kids' socks just by looking at them wrong."
But don't worry, it's not all bad news. The heatwave is also expected to bring with it a special brand of humidity that will make everyone look like they've been swimming in a vat of sweat for hours on end. "It's going to be like a natural facemask," said Dr. Smith (again, not really). "Just think of the long-term skincare benefits!"
In related news, local florists are reporting a surge in demand for bouquets made entirely out of sunburned skin cells and blister fluid. It's the perfect way to say "I love you" this Mother's Day.
