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.
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.
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.
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.
A moderate risk would definitely have worked out quite well this evening. Fairly dense population of severe reports showing up as the evening progresses.
