Kind of sucks to be really close to the enhanced from SPC and prob won't get much rain again tonight. SPC really trolling us the past two days lol. Hopefully we can at least get a wussy elevated shower or two later tonight.
Got a mini-heat burst going on here right now. Getting 30-40mph southeast winds and the temp has jumped up from 80 to 82 degrees, still climbing.
EDIT: Up to 83 now.
Got up to 93 here and at MLI today. Got a decaying band of thunder sprinkles moving in from the nose of Iowa. Hoping for some late night thunder/heavy rain but if the stuff that forms remains elevated and doesn't form a cold pool it would likely move more eastward than southeast. Guess we'll see.
59 early this morning but already back up to 82. Dews still pretty meager in the mid 50s. Looking forward to Iowa sloppy seconds later tonight.
Must be a hell of a crop of cottonwood seeds this year. Just cleaned off the AC condenser fins and they were pretty caked up with them.
Got down to 56 here, and currently the dew is 46. Not too shabby for mid June.
My jaw almost came out of it's sockets this morning when I saw we were included in a slight risk for tomorrow.
86 so far here, but dews in the mid 50s so not bad out there. Gonna be laying a lot of rock down tomorrow out in front of the house so glad the dews will be quite low for mid June.
Can even see that smoke plume from here, on the eastern horizon.
Here's a link to that Furnace Creek in Death Valley weather station data. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=DEVC1&num=72&banner=gmap&raw=0&w=325
The 12z Euro has dews in the low to mid 20s in parts of northern IL next Wed afternoon. Don't think I've ever seen dews that low in IL in met summer. That would be extremely hard to do with evapotranspiration kicking in hard during mid to late June.
2 weeks ago today on May 28th the high was 48 degrees. Seems completely unfathomable after the past few days with mid 90s and heat indices over 100 degrees.
