Chinook

New severe thunderstorm watches in IN/MI/OH/PA along with the enhanced risk outlook type area. A few storms are getting going in Flint in South Bend, but nothing much. Probably a marginal severe storm by Flint. KDTX has no radar data, by the way, so that's a bummer for me an a couple of you guys in Michigan.

Tropical Storm Elida, with a large amount of organized convection here, is expected to peak at 75kt/ category 1 in a couple of days

my place has 95.5 with heat index 107.2. Toledo airports have heat index 101-102

97 at Toronto -Pearson

nearly 5970meter 500mb closed high pressure near Wausau Wisconsin

It's impressive they could beat the Dust Bowl temperatures in Montana edit: Billings has no data from July 1934 when they could have been the hottest

looks like the high will be 96.4 for Fort Collins

so is this going to be Europe's hottest month or something? The GFS still has like +10C for France for a while.

My brother is out on a road trip for nearly a month. He sent me pics from Yellowstone. I bet he is baking in the heat, if he's not high up in altitude right now.

Today it will be 21-24 degrees celsius at 700mb over part of Colorado,. The highest temperature than Grand Junction, weather balloon sounding archive, has ever measured, is 22C

For all you Minnesotans out there, the International Falls evening weather sounding said 89/71 with 4447 J/kg of CAPE with no storms nearby.

from last night

Typhoon Bavi today: it was 100kt and downgraded to 90 kt
