RDU posting 99 right now Should hit 100 easily-there anyway lol

Dew point of 80 here @2:17pm.

93 and feelin free.

New Tornado Watches coming soon per MCD Mesoscale Discussion 1089 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0108 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026 Areas affected...northeast Missouri...southern into eastern Iowa...far western Illinois Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 311... Valid 111808Z - 112045Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...The environment is becoming more favorable for severe storms with potential for tornadoes, and new/updated tornado watches are likely over parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. DISCUSSION...Recent satellite and surface observations indicate a modifying/retreating outflow boundary into south-central IA where winds are now out of the south and with low 70s F dewpoints. Meanwhile, the synoptic cold front continues to push rapidly east, along with the shortwave trough. This front is located from central IA into northwest MO as of 18Z with gusty southwest winds ahead of it. GPS PWAT is over 1.80" now into southern IA. Low-level shear is quite favorable for rotating storms near the retreating outflow, with 0-1 SRH over 200 m2/s2. Over the next few hours, storms are likely to develop near the cold front, and perhaps within the warm advection zone near the modifying outflow boundary. Supercells are expected initially with deep-layer shear near 55 kt and ample low-level SRH to support rightward cell propagation relative to the cold front orientation. A few strong tornadoes will be possible. Damaging winds also are likely as high-PWAT air mass supports ample downdraft material with any larger storm clusters or linear modes near the cold front. ..Jewell/Gleason.. 06/11/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

So that elevated blob over Iowa now is what was supposed to be developing into a line of supercells and eventual deracho this evening on yesterdays fantasy CAMs? The lead MCV does seem to be slowing down and running out of steam. Temperatures are decent on this side of the lake. Dewpoints are just meh compared to yeasterday though. I just want some good beneficial rain. Hope I don’t get screwed out of that somehow.

94 here as of 2PM

Honeysuckle and multiflora rose blend around here says late spring/early summer to me...well more specifically and nerdily "Memorial Day weekend and the weeks around it". Cursed plants ofc 89/79 here at home by the bay, not as hot as most but got the soup

If they maintain mostly sunny and that good wind direction they could get an upper 90 reading here soon.

91/72

I've got 98.4 so far

93/76 HI 107

Around here, storms in high PW environments like today are generally more effective at cranking out the CGs. As you note, though, questions about the evolution of storms this evening remain.

furnace at DCA.

SPC has no discussions for our area as of 1:50 PM - they are watching radars too before any discussions are issued SPC Products Page

I meant tomorrow but we are likely going over 100 today. 98.2 at my house right now

Okay, I guess this means it will correct itself in the other direction next year, and 2027 will have a cooling that rival years like 1998 and 2010.

91/72/100 nasty out there

Still seem to have a bit of a lee trough if I'm not mistaken as well. I guess we're just missing shear and a forcing mechanism. Storms seem to be popping out near Pittsburgh as well. Quick question, and I know its not fully understood, but what conditions should we look for to get prolific lightning producers? Since the storms are coming in during the night I might try to get to do some lightning photography if I can assuming they hold together as the latest NAM suggests.

Weather like this makes me so happy to be retired. 97 on my PWS HI 108

I think there will be some storms overnight, perhaps some sort of cluster moving through. Not really liking how unenthused CAMs really are with today or even tomorrow. Lack of forcing is a big killer but I would not be shocked if we can get at least widely isolated stuff later this afternoon and if lucky, a small cluster moving through overnight.

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!
