This isn't to pick on you.  I've seen this a bunch of times lately and many times today.  Do these wx stations use a different formula to calculate heat index than wpc or the nws use?

Not really sure...I think that the pws seem to record higher dews, so that's the difference in the heat index values....Grain of salt.

Annoying thing about wunderground is that it only updates every 15 min, so it won’t catch the highest temp 

Mine updates every 15 seconds, which is why I hate that they took away the decimals. I prefer precision over eye candy.

Type your current temp and dp into the calculator and you'll see what I mean.
