Semi-fake news RDU sensor was 97 at 1PM and was by 2F the hottest in the entire SE among official reporting stations with Rocky Mount, NC, and Brunswick, GA, next at 95!

Great news!

MRV trying to play catch up this afternoon as clouds move out.

What a messy setup. Funny how the setup yesterday was quietly a lot cleaner, despite shear/dynamics being not as impressive...

Connecticut River valley for the win. Glad I don't live there.

First round quickly converted over to anvil rain on approach. Let's see what round 2 does.

The Triangle, Triad, and neighboring S VA was the only area in the entire SE to notably worsen as the rest of the SE either was unchanged or improved vs last week’s map.

Looks like the rain yesterday has boosted surface dews a bit. Helps to offset the fact that air temperatures aren't climbing really into the 90s.

Channeling my inner Wiz right now...All this heat and dews and/or summer cancel talk is boring, are we getting t-storms tonight or not?

So we really still going to see storms fire off today?

Looking to be more of a flash flood event for Chicago versus severe at this point. Not feeling confident for severe later.

dewing the dew with a 77 dew!

Steamy out there

Yup.. sucks lol. Working outside now sucks. Oh well. Better then being stuck in an office building.

Concord River in Billerica is very, very low. Signs of the drought

Chicago NWS Izzi CAM guidance remains very aggressive with a strongly unstable and rather large warm/unstable sector ahead of the cold front, though most CAMs do not seem to be handling the current size/magnitude of the MCS and associated cold pool well. Recent observational trends raise significant questions about how realistic the CAM depictions are. Certainly, given the magnitude of the forcing, we feel that at least some moderate destabilization will occur and likely support a strongly forced QLCS developing along the cold front this afternoon and spreading into northern IL this evening. Magnitude of the recovery and subsequent destabilization across northern IL is somewhat unclear ahead of this QLCS, but given the strong forcing and unseasonably strong deep and low level shear, there could a damaging wind and QLCS tornado threat even with somewhat modest instability. Should recovery and instability be more significant, like many CAMS show, then potential would increase for a derecho/QLCS tornado threat this evening. We will be closely monitoring observational trends this afternoon.

Great to hear the news, @Ian!! Will be supporting anyway I can and would love to chat in person sometime. Feel free to stop by more!

Moderate nudged south some? Riding the Bloomington/Pontiac/Kankakee corridor

Mostly tho really annoying summer cold...

Finally feels like summer.

Nice! I know our severe wx expert Jeff Halverson uses the site a lot -- he is always posting it in Slack. It does seem to be going well so far... kinda weird but should be fun.

I installed one yesterday and the other this morning.

what the

Yea our June’s have been so incredibly warm recently that our collective bias is +5
