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.

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.

Click image for full screen. Past 12hrs estimated precip. how to upload photos to the internet

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.
-
Looked like today would be a 90+ slam dunk, as models had indicated for the past few days. Lots of clouds COC blocked the potential however. Only 85.
-
Not in this sub, but some pretty incredible stuff from out at Death Valley California, at Furnace Creek. They haven't been below 100 degrees (on the hour) since early Saturday morning when it dipped to a frosty 93 degrees. Saturday night, and Sunday night both stayed above 100 degrees. Looks like they hit 127 yesterday. This is a NWS maintained sensor site btw. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=DEVC1&num=72&banner=gmap&raw=0&w=325

Hmmmm. Hoosier?
-
A DVN employee reported estimated 90mph winds a little north of the DVN site earlier.
-
Looks like the 80mph winds at MLI took out the equipment. Hasn't been an ob since the storm hit.
-
Top pic is of a storm blowing up earlier this afternoon along the stalled OFB. This is right after the storm split into two separate updrafts. Bottom pic of a rainbow behind departing severe line of storms, pointing in the same direction as top pic.
-
The part of the line that flared up right before hitting here has continued to blossom as it pushes east, and even somewhat east-northeastward.
-
Got some 55+mph gusts for sure with the first few minutes of the storm. Quality event to be sure. Hawkeye likely lost power. He for sure would have been on here by now telling the tale.
