DVN hasn't been below 80 degrees since Tuesday morning.

MLI's 100 degree high ties the 1936 record high.

I'm ready for Fall.

Both DVN and MLI hit 100, hit 99 here.

At 2pm my weather station cranked out an insane 98/85/131.

Top notch heat wave. 

Janesville has you beat with it's 933 degree heat index. 

97/79/115 here.  Dews haven't dropped quite as much has models have been showing, but still a bit "drier" than yesterday.  

Temps languishing out this way for some reason.  Looks like MLI/DVN have only made it to 95 so far, 96 here.  Looks like a fail AFA reaching 100.

Yesterday's 120+ heat indices will end up being the most impressive aspect of this heat wave for the QCA, and that certainly was very impressive.

Heat index still 100 at ORD on the 1am ob.  Tough sleeping weather if you are unfortunate to not have a working AC unit lol

Dews still in the lower 80s.  Pretty long-lasting 80+ stretch in progress.

98 today both here and at DVN.  MLI languished at a lowly 97 lol.  Dewpoint hit 83 here, and 82 at DVN.  Highest heat index hit 123 here, and at least 119 at both DVN and MLI.  About as bad as it gets to be sure for this area.

Tomorrow looks like a very good shot at 100 actual temp, but dews should be a tad bit lower.

91/77/104 here right now.  Dews took a little longer to come back up after dipping to 57 early this morning, but 80+ tomorrow looks like a slam dunk.

Dews still in the lower 80s along the MO River with heat indices still 102-104 at 11pm in places like Omaha, Sioux City, and Sioux Falls.  Not in our sub, but pretty impressive.

One last little surge of ALEK's AC moving in from the northeast.  Should dip our dews into the upper 50s for a time late tonight before ascending to AOA 80 later tomorrow afternoon. 

Noticeably less humid today as the dews have dipped back into the lower 70s.  Looks like 79-83 degree dews the next few days though with 115+ heat indices.

Dews have jumped into the upper 70s, so heat index values have exceeded 105 this afternoon.  Cu field co ck blocking max temp potential, but still managed 93 here and DVN.  MLI languishing suspiciously at only 90.  Sensor issues possibly there.

Heat indices around 120 a little west of KC where the extreme heat and western edge of the deep moisture overlap.  Lawrence KS is 109/73 with 123 heat index.  Just to the south in Ottawa it's 108/72 heat index 119.  Just to the west in the drier surface environment at Manhattan it's 114 degrees.  Even in Wichita they've beached the 110 mark.

115+ heat index potential on the way for Tuesday for this area.  Dews likely near 80 with temps in the mid 90s.  Some favored areas may see 82-84 degree dews with 120+ indices not out of the question.  Dews drop a tad for Wed/Thu, but ambient temps may make it to 100 both days.  Impressive stretch coming up. 

Solid sleeping weather.  Got down to 49 here this morning.

Nice little burst of pea sized hail and some crashing thunder.  Not a bad way to kick off the day.

Seeing a lot of air quality alerts in Minnesota. Is the smoke back?

Yesterday kicked off Taco Bell's taco Tuesday-free doritos locos tacos.  Could explain it.

Yeah definitely a good chance at more than 1 day with dews AOA 80 for parts of the sub early next week.  Time to sweat out some toxins lol

0.87" this morning from some high-efficiency rainers.  Up to 1.38" for August.

System was a big dud for the northeast half of the DVN area.  The models did a good job advertising this over the past few days, but SPC continued to insist on a slight for the whole area.  Not sure what they were looking at.

Nice deep blue sky this afternoon mixed in with the fair-weather cu.  Nice to see after so much grungy haze/smoke much of the summer

Yeah don't see much in the way of rain around here until maybe next Thu.  Sun/Mon system looks like a dud for this area.  

Getting some slow rumbles and light anvil rain here this morning.

Models sucked ass with this system.  Just 0.15" here.  Nice amount of rain in July so we don't need it that badly anyway at least.

Ready 2b drowned

Looks like a good soaking on the way tomorrow night/Monday morning.  2-3" not off the table.
