Don't you guys know we cant start posting on this stuff until its the middle of january when all of us are in single digits?

Looks like this thread is as hot as it is outside! I'll see my self out Edit: also woo over 100 posts!

LOL.

Now were up to 95/80/117 here. This is most likely the hottest heat index my station has ever recorded.

Currently 93/79/114 here. We just tagged 80 degree dews a couple minutes ago.

Pretty nice squall heading through western illinois right now

91 with a dew of 78 outside rn. Blecch.

Of course there'll be squalls now. I'm going up north on vacation for a week.

MKX just came out with an article about the 10th anniversary of the 2008 floods.Here is the link https://www.weather.gov/mkx/LakeDeltonBreach. These floods are most famous for the breaching of the Lake Delton dam in the Dells. Some areas in the northern part of Columbia County got over 14" of rain with the maximum amount being 15.35" just south of Portage. I remember the entire marsh from Lowell to I-94 being a giant lake. This flood also nearly took out the dam in Fall River, the town north of me. This event is what got me interested in Weather. Edit: Here's the map of the rain totals for the week.

MSN reached 92 today tying the record from 1991. This month has been so similar to May 2012. 2012 also had a very wet first two weeks of the month before the faucet shut off and never turned on again mid-month. It obviously also had a similar heatwave in this time frame. Looking ahead it looks like I might get about a .5" or so form Alberto's remnants but after that it looks like it could be a while before we get anymore rain.

I was out at the brewer game today in Milwaukee. Man that was hot! MKX got to 97 which sets the new monthly record for may according to the NWS. I was hoping for a lake breeze but it never got more inland than the Marquette Interchange. Towards the 8th and 9th innings though some of the anvils and outflows from some pulse storms to the north cooled it back down to the upper 80's. It probably did get 100+ in the park though as there was no wind and the sun just beat down on the field. Tomorrow is looking a bit cooler beacuse of some of that potential outflow form the mcs in the northern part of the state. I am honestly getting 2012 vibes from this heat wave.

Yay 90 degrees! I just love 90 degrees and dews in the 70's! /s. So much for a spring that's for sure.

Honestly the forecast for the next few days looks quite June like.

Got 3" of rain here over the last 3-days. Several rivers are up to bankfull stage if not flood stage.

Ironically same time period and after a cold early spring
