And to add on, Re: Euro. The Euro has mixing a full 100mb higher than the GFS/NAM/GEM. It’s tried to do the same this past week, but corrected itself as we approached each day of the heat wave.
The heat monger has been surprisingly pessimistic on heat. But I do think it is a red flag that the Euro is the hottest once again across the region as a whole. It had a rough go of it with a terrible performance last summer in that regard, and has not been stellar this summer so far either.
The 0z DVN sounding had mixing to 800mb.
Given that out this way we mixed out at the surface much more than the DVN area, I'm guessing mixing was to around 750mb around here (If not better?).
Getting widespread 35-45MPH wind gusts now across N IL and S WI.
The 19z DVN sounding showed mixing to 850MB. However the warm nose was mirco sized, so we likely broke through that for much deeper mixing.
