Dew has dropped to 72 here now. Just stepped out and it's amazing how much better a 72 degree dew feels compared to an 82 degree dew.

Dews here have jumped back into the 80s as the dormant boundary approaches. Feeble cumulus flailing in failure along the boundary as it approaches the QCA. EDIT: And now that the boundary is southeast of us it has ignited several storms.

Chicago and Cedar Rapids sure seem to reel them in don't they? Made it to 97 here today with a peak dew of 82. MLI tagged 96 for the hottest temp of the year so far.

Picked up 0.05" earlier. Better than I expected today.

Dew of 83 here earlier. Currently sitting at 92/82/115.

Sioux City ASOS site hit 83 degree dewpoint earlier this evening, and hit 119 for heat index. Tremendous pool of 80+ degree dews from southwest MN down into northeastern KS.

Exciting times ahead.

Looking forward to seeing a frontlit anvil on eastern horizon at sunset.

Forrest Gump voice...and just like that, another rapid onset drought was forecast.

48 here this morning.

Another 4-5" rain event just north of Des Moines today. That area has been hammered this summer. Somewhere in that area has probably had 20+ inches of rain in the past two months.

After a little break from the heat this week it's coming back next week. Up to 0.22" for the day.

0.17" of anvil rain earlier.

Nailed it. Getting wussy anvil rain here per usual.

Cedar Rapids looks to be the place to be per usual here in the DVN cwa.
