If this were to somehow pan out, going from the mid 80’s to snowflakes in 3 days would be a little scary lol

3 rotating cells in Iowa, 2 currently warmed (may be 3 soon)...interesting

Sun is out in DKB and temp is 81. Forecasted high was only 77

I don’t recall seeing a watch being issued for probabilities this low in a long time lol

So I just stumbled across this thread, I’m going to Northern IL University in a month for meteorology and I keep seeing things like this that really want to make me reconsider. I know this was posted 8 years ago so I’m sure things have changed but if anyone has any insight into this I’d love to hear it, giving myself some other options just Incase sounds like the best bet to me right now but I’d love to hear any advice anyone may have.

Did anyone else see a bright green meteor in the western sky at 8:40 CDT?

Pretty evil looking sky early this afternoon as a non-severe storm rolled through. Best storm I’ve seen imby all year so far.

90/83 in the cornfields of southern Grundy, trying to enjoy the constant rumble of the storms to my south outside is even terrible

Agreed. Feels the same. Tomorrow will feel like winter though with low 50’s for dews

That’s a good way to describe it. Didn’t think it’d get as bad as the last stretch of heat as far as humidity goes but this afternoon/evening was just as bad if not worse around here. Stupid cornfields

91/80/111 and it’s not even noon yet

As of 12:30 AM, there’s still a pocket of 5,000+ j/kg of cape in N IL, wow

Both, even sitting in the shade is pretty awful. It’s up to 95/84 now, it bounces around between 81-84. Living next to a lake and surrounded by corn fields really comes back to bite you on days like today lol

95/82/119 here now. It’s became completely unbearable in the last half hour or so here. Edit: Dews have been increasing considerably in the last 1-2 hours around here, with most stations nearby reporting low 80’s for dews now. (Thanks corn) Winds are also lightening up a bit

Just hit 80 according to my PWS
