  1. But isn’t Chelan County in Washington? Even so, 119 would still be a state record.
  2. Wait, there are no holds barred weather forums where people don’t give a rat’s *** about their fellow weather enthusiasts?
  3. Looks like Hermiston broke the real record of 117 but not the probably fake record of 119. Richland, WA got to at least 118.
  4. Was a good breeze imby. Very well defined on the radar.
  5. Or that places in Oregon, Washington, and Canada can get hotter than Las Vegas has ever gotten. You think the models are crazy until they verify. What’s Madison’s record? 107 or 108 if I remember correctly. That was Portland’s until this heat wave and now their record is 116. This event out west has totally changed my view on what is possible just about anywhere.
  6. Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon are both up to 117. This discussion about 117 vs. 119 could be moot soon.
  7. Depends on how much legitimacy we’re attaching to MDT’s lows. Also depends on whether or not a rogue pop-up storm drops the temp to below 79 sometime before midnight, because I don’t see any way that happens without one.
  8. Not sure if this has been mentioned, but MDT’s low of 79 this morning ties a record warmest for June. 4 of the top 10 have occurred this June.
  9. I almost forgot about the last holiday weekend we had. Too soon? I’ll defer to @Voyagerand @sauss06and let them have a victory if Monday proves to be hot.
  10. Lived in central WI at the time, so I only have “fond” memories of the days that followed this event. Closest thing to hell I’ve ever had the “pleasure” of experiencing, and I’ve lived in Arizona.
  11. hopefully they have a different person keeping the records today than they did in 1898. He may be long gone, but his legacy still stands in the form of a record that is possibly not legitimate.
  12. Thank you. I understand that it is extremely hard to get records from the 1800s and early 1900s stricken from the record books, even if there is solid evidence they’re flawed. I would guess that deniers would have a fit if such revisions were made regularly. The 134 at Death Valley is another example of this.
  13. There’s your answer. KPIT was at 88 at 12:51pm, so the accuracy of the iOS weather app is questionable (as we probably already suspected), though I will say it does one of those Fahrenheit to Celsius to Fahrenheit things where 89 displays as 90.
  14. I mean we can’t have it all, but 90s most weeks of the summer, no matter how cool it gets in between, can get exhausting.
  15. Contrast that with the fact that we’ve only hit 97 in one of the past 25 years. Part of me thinks we’ve just been lucky (or unlucky if you want heat).
  16. So what’s the deal with the 119 in Pendleton, OR in 1898? Is there some debate as to its legitimacy? Some sources mention it, but many sources use the 117 as the all time record.
  17. From a variability perspective, I really don’t see how we would break our all time heat record by 9 degrees in one go. But now the thought that we could see 105 or 106 one day doesn’t seem too far fetched.
  18. That’s 9 degrees warmer than any temperature they recorded prior to this heat wave. A new all time record high for Canada (118) was set, and the official records of 118 for Washington state and 117 for Oregon (apparently disputed, I’ve seen 119 from some sources) were tied yesterday.
  19. Running a couple degrees ahead of yesterday so far.
  20. I’ll drink to that (the contenders part, not the 85 degrees at 10am part). Gotta keep the people saying “Tomlin has never had a losing season.” Side note, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone say “Ben has never had a losing season.”
  21. I’ll pass on that, but maybe I’ll jump on the bandwagon depending on how bad my team sucks this year. That would require your Cowboys to be good enough to have a bandwagon this year.
  22. My mother was telling me about how she’s having one done sometime this week so it’s been on my mind recently. I’ll have to ask her if she’s going to Red Robin after.
