Pretty big change in the 0z runs (GFS, GGEM) starting next weekend as far as heat goes. To this point they were showing the heat lasting to the 19th-20th area. Now both are showing the center of the ridge over the rockies instead of the plains with a trough over the lakes/ov. Now only showing highs in the 60's and 70's. This would be much welcomed relief.

92 in Dayton today. 4 days in a row of 90+ and counting. No clue what the longest streak of 90+ days is.

8 year Anniversary of the 2012 Derecho is today. One of those events you never forget.

That area of storms around Kankakee IL has been persistent. Looks like radar is estimating close to if not over 8" southeast of Kankakee.

Wasn't expecting a possible watch this far south.

Marginal for most of the southern sub on new day 2.

New day 1.

Enhanced area added on updated day 2.

New day 2 maintains a large slight risk from MI southwest to SE NE/NE KS. They mention that if enough destabilization can occur after morning activity, a more organized bowing type wind threat could evolve requiring an upgrade to wind and categorical risk.

Slight risk added to a good chunk of the northern half of IL.
