  1. That sugar maple looks a little young to be crapping out already. Deep blue skies here as well, with some towers going up. A few isolated downpours have popped up in the heat of the day.
  2. Today's near 70 degree dews feel like fresh canadian air compared to yesterday's oppressive lower 80s.
  3. A moderate risk would definitely have worked out quite well this evening. Fairly dense population of severe reports showing up as the evening progresses.
  4. Today's 0.66" brings us up to about 4.5" for July. The drought is a distant memory now.
  5. Today's 96 at MLI was the 28th day AOA 90 this year.
  6. 55 MPH quality gust front. Enough to be entertaining and don't have to worry about a massive cleanup. Heavy rains arriving now. Temp has crashed over 20 degrees.
  7. Sirens going off here with the emergency notification blasting everyone's phones. Good shot at 70-80mph from the looks of things, especially just north.
  8. Yeah this flash flood threat is definitely pretty high end. These storms are lined up parallel with the swath of highest PWs, north of 2". Some seriously high totals I'm afraid for some peeps.
  9. Dew up to 84 at Sterling. Think that's legit too as it doesn't seem to usually have a high bias, and there's a lot of farmland around this whole area.
  10. Marshalltown Iowa ASOS just gusted to 93mph.
  11. Pretty tough conditions IMBY currently with 95/81/117. The corn is a sweatin'.
  12. Thunder crashing woke me up around 4am. Picked up a few tenths which pushes us up over the 4" mark for July. Looking forward to the action later today/this evening.
  13. Yeah that's a very prolific lightning producer to be sure.
  14. Heat index in Peoria is still 104 with the new midnight ob (86/82). The wind is nearly calm too so it would not be a good night to be out camping or having a bonfire lol. EDIT: Still 104 heat index at 1am ob.
  15. The ILX sounding near Springfield IL had over 6600J/kg on this evening's sounding.
  16. Spoke too soon about this lol. 2nd day in a row with a 78 dew. Good chance we hit 80 tomorrow. Nice pool of 80-83 dews lurking just to the south/southwest.
  17. MLI hit 96 today which ties for the hottest to date so far. Morning clouds in the wake of the convection knocked a degree or two off the potential today.
  18. Dewpoint up to 78, the highest of the summer so far. Picked up 0.13" this morning, up to 3.82" for July.
  19. Nice area of elevated action heading this way, putting out a lot of strokes. Ready for some rumbles before baking this afternoon. Gonna be sweating like Patrick Ewing in the 4th quarter lol.
  20. Minneapolis run of bad luck with regards to action is about to end. Nice well organized severe bow echo taking dead aim on the metro.
  21. Dews have crept up into the 70s. That and the hazy/smoky conditions make it seem like the air is stagnant. Looks like a good chance at tagging 100 either tomorrow/Thu/Fri. Best chance looks like Friday, but can't completely rule out tomorrow or Thu.
  22. DVN has 100 in the point for Thu at MLI, 99 on Friday. We still haven't made a run at an 80 degree dewpoint yet, which is kind of unusual. Looking like there's a good chance we won't make it this year.
  23. Another 90 in the bag at MLI today, hit 88 here. Guess the cicadas are out but I have yet to hear one.
