Some incredible heat index readings on the other side of the world around the Persion Gulf this morning (afternoon there). On shore flow off the blazingly warm Persion Gulf is blowing in extreme humidity, with dews in the mid 80s in several locations. One location (Jask in Iran) has a dew of 90. The big winner for what must be absolute hell on Earth goes to Bandar Iran, where they are at 109/86 with a heat index of 148 lol.

It probably was, but that storm would probably have had to be 100kft tall for me to see it from here.

Was walking out to my truck after work a short while ago and noticed a large thunderhead waaaaay down on the distant northeast horizon. Could tell it was quite strong, and kind of guessed it could be way up by Milwaukee. Was quite surprised to see that the storm is actually way up by Sheboygan!
-
Got about a half inch of rain this evening, and a pretty nice light show for a few hours. Much heavier rains all around us, but I'll take what we got, as it looks dry for the next 7-10 days as Hawkeye said.
-
Hit 93 at MLI and here, heat index reached 109/108 here/MLI. Dewpoint peaked at 79 here.
-
Dews are barely above 70 up in Chicagoland where temps are hottest. Must be some deeper mixing going on or something. Out this way dews have stayed AOA 77 most of the day and temps are several degrees "cooler". Heat index values are higher here though, and pushing 110 at times. EDIT: Looks like a rogue storm has popped right over the city, and is heading towards ALEK lol
-
92/79/108 here. At least there's a breeze unlike yesterday. Still a shot at bumping 80 dewpoint this afternoon.
-
They had a late rally and hit 90 after climate data was posted.
-
What was looking like a slam dunk 90+ day was a fail at MLI, as they were 89'd under thicker clouds than expected lol. Hit 91 here, with a peak HI of 105. Dews have made it to between 76-79 for the majority of the DVN cwa, which is a few degrees higher than what the 3km NAM had been forecasting. It's been indicating even higher dews for tomorrow on the past several runs, so it looks like tomorrow we may be in for 79-82 degree dews.

zzzz

Looks like potentially 3 days (Fri-Sun) AOA 90 here. Low 90s Fri/Sat, and maybe mid 90s on Sunday for what could be the hottest temp of the year so far at MLI if they can break 94. Then back to 80s Mon and beyond.
-
Just under a half inch of rain today with a little thunder.
-
Hottest temp this summer so far at MLI is only 94. Pretty lame if that ends up being the hottest of the summer, but there is more heat coming this weekend. They've had lots of upper 80s this summer, so there has been lots of lost opportunity in accumulating AOA 90 degree days as well. All in all a forgettable summer to be sure in terms of heat for this area if we don't have a big rally later this month/August.
-
Storms this morning got close enough you could hear the thunder. Could have used a little more rain.
-
15 ob sites in Iowa reporting a dew AOA 80 atm, 4 in IL.
-
Snip from a classic DVN AFD 9 years ago today... SHORT WAVE COMBINED WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND HIGH CAPES SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS IF CAP BREAKS. IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT THEN A DESTRUCTIVE DERECHO WITH WINDS OVER 100 MPH IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD TAKE THE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE DVN CWA.
-
Dew hit 80 here for the first time this year. Highest HI was 109.
-
This morning's HRRR runs showed 90 for MLI, but they didn't make it. Made it only to 88 both there and here.
-
Great evening to head out and shoot some pics of the comet. This was along the Mississippi River just north of Fulton IL earlier.

Nice break in the summer weather up in northern Iowa. Mason City got all the way down to 44 early this morning.
-
Wow, and Dekalb is still reporting heavy rain as of about 15mins ago from the pencil thin band of heavy rain. Yeah if this was a winter setup there would be a dramatic elevation in totals in that narrow band. The HRRR runs from this morning were indicating some strong winds this evening over northeast IL. Didn't come to pass, but there have been some feisty gusts within the little comma head of heavy precip heading towards Kankakee. Pontiac had 38mph gusts a while ago.

Looks like a small trowel-like feature, pretty cool. It's been nearly stationary for quite awhile stretching back this way. Still some off and on light rain here, and up to 1.20".
-
Up to 1.07" now as it's winding down. SPC mesoanalysis shows PWs up near 2", which would explain the nice rates even under lighter radar returns.
-
First day to not hit at least 80 degrees here and at MLI since June 23. Nice soaker this afternoon. Steady tropical rain with some very soaking downpours. Up to 0.84" with a good chance to top the 1" mark before it ends.
