0.68" overnight with lots of lightning.

All of that concrete throughout the area no doubt adding to the mixing. Super adiabatic lapse rates over localized areas.

Definitely a lame heat wave for the DVN area by our standards. Only low 90s so far during this stretch, and dews haven't even officially hit 80. This is weak sauce.

I'm glad this was brought up. You know earlier I was thinking what would make these 80 degree dewpoints even better? Smoky skies.

Heat index peaked at 108 degrees at MLI today.

Dew hit 79 here and at MLI today. Didn't feel too bad though with the 30mph winds. MLI only made it down to 78 degrees this morning.

Won't be too impressive out this way. A string of low to mid 90s which isn't unusual at all. Dews near 80 will be impressive, but definitely typical for mid Summer in this area.

As usual the HRDPS nailed it for the past several runs. Best short term model by far.

Pretty nice MCV making a direct hit on the MSP area this morning. Dews are in the 60s here this morning, but should be well into the 70s by this afternoon. Non-stop 70s to occasionally 80s for dews from here on out until at least July 10th. Ready 2 sweat.

Sunday starts what looks to be at least 2 weeks of 70+ degree dews, with a few 80+ degree days mixed in as well.

Picked up 0.01" this morning. This evening's stuff is a whiff just to the northeast.

Our first 80 degree dews are on the way for next week.

Ultra saturated sounding from DVN earlier this evening. Explains why even the drizzle was heavy earlier.

2.17" so far. Nice soaker. EDIT: 2.37" now as it winds down. Seemed a lot like tropical remnants today. Pretty unusual to get this much stratiform rain in late June with zero thunder. The past hour or so we had heavy drizzle coming down in sheets with the gusty ne winds. Gave us an extra couple of tenths.

Nice high efficiency soaker. Just blew by the 1 inch mark and it's pouring very nicely.
