Chinook

Rotation seems to be pretty noticeable near Como and Sulphur Springs, TX.

I just figured out that Akron OH got about 3" recently.

Lots of scattered thunderstorms affected eastern Colorado and eastern New Mexico today, including the southeast Denver area. I heard there was a hail-soaked parking lot at NCAR (Valmont Drive, Boulder)

I got a video of a brief thunderstorm SE of Loveland and SW of Greeley. It was right at that time in the evening when you can easily see distant lightning bolts. I guess the lightning wanted to go down, then up.

CoCoRAHS reports range from 2.29" to 4.36" in Marion County, Indiana (outlier: 1.17")

possible tornado over I-35E junction with I-635. That's got to be a busy place.

Possible tornado (radar is TDAL)

Severe squall line in DFW area with possible tornado near Irving.

This is a bowing squall line that is not producing a lot of storm reports right now. It produced quite a few wind reports earlier. It almost looks like half a hexagon.

measured 80mph wind gusts near Childress, TX

12 tornadoes today, widely scattered across the country. The tornado reported in Texas didn't look like it was from a mesocyclone. edit; another confirmed tornado in Indiana

It has been above 85 degrees once this year. Meanwhile on the West Coast,

I seem to remember that the GFS has had some problems in the summertime with dew points too high (75-80 degrees) in generally moist time periods in the Midwest. I wonder if this upgrade may improve that somehow.

Toledo has not had a June high temp of 59 or lower since 2003. I suppose it is even possible that Thursday would have a high temperature at 12:01 AM for eastern Michigan or northern Ohio, or SW Ontario, perhaps making it seem not so bad for the all-time record books and such.
