  1. There are some very high heat indices today in the Midwest. I am not sure if the values over 121 are believable (121 at St Joseph Missouri.) Lawrence Kansas has 103/84/134, but it sounds suspicious. (dew points of 75-80 on mesonet sites in town.)
  2. Here are a few flash flood warnings and measured 62mph wind gust
  3. There are some crazy colors for watches/warnings/advisories on this map due to the hurricane impacts, as well as the Midwest heat.
  4. Look at this huge cloud field! There are new things that happen in weather every day, but a tropical storm getting to San Diego and Los Angeles is something I have not seen.
  5. Some storms were severe in Minnesota/Wisconsin tonight. These storms are struggling with the cap and weakening of the daytime heat. They aren't struggling with shear, as that's pretty darn good for this time of year.
  6. severe storms scattered from Delaware/Maryland to Florida
  7. There two tornado warnings near DC a few minutes ago. Now, mostly 50dBz over the area with a lot of lightning in some areas
  8. Did Minneapolis even hit 113 degrees in the year 1934 or 1936?
  9. so this is a confirmed tornado. I actually have to drive through that town sometimes
  10. If this is right, then it could send a lot of water and wind to Tokyo's bay
  11. I heard that Phoenix just had the warmest average month of any large American city, in history.
  12. Tonight, the low clouds finally dissipated and there were some nice high clouds of a couple of types close to sunset. The temp is down to 70 now, with, thankfully dew points down to 61. During this weekend's storm and earlier today, my place had light rain, drizzle, low clouds, with dew points up to 72 on Saturday. It feels like this whole region wasted a chance for good thunderstorms. Mostly steady rains went from Indiana to Michigan and killed the instability that could have been. I think my place got 0.3" of rain and I could barely even tell it happened.
  13. high winds of 65-70mph detected by radar above ground
  14. I'm still amazed at how long the Hagerstown supercell has stayed together. It's almost about to be crushed by the squall line.
  15. Currently there is one new tornado warning in the mountain corridor of the WV/VA state line. One note on an amazing event in years past, in the 1974 super outbreak I believe there was an F-3 tornado climbed up and down one or more mountain ridges in West Virginia. So there's that.
  16. I was watching the Convective Chronicles youtube video (expert forecast) with the sound off and the closed captioning on. Better watch out for that high effective stormwater publicity!
  17. This is a really blue sector the CC. It's probably a false indicator of tornado damage. Rotation seems to be notable at the same spot. This is the Maryland/ WV border. (farthest west Maryland)
