Tropical downpours on and off today. Keeping temps in check, rather be soaked from rain versus sweat.

high heat index, perhaps the hottest of the year for any area that's 107-109 right now

 

[King James]

Cloud cover and breeze saved the day for sure

[Brian D]

It's looking like 1.5-2" of rain so far today. We'll see how the rest of the day fairs. Solid top 10 wet July for sure with rain totals in that range today. Maybe even top 5 at the end of the month.

na, that had zero impact on the day.

The current squall line over Northern Lower is more impressive than expected.  The southern outflow boundary might act to really concentrate the steam flowing up from Illinois.  I don’t see those dewpoints mixing out so easily this time.

Decent heavy rain/flood potential starting tomorrow night through Saturday for Northern Illinois and Indiana.

St. Louis area  (Belleville IL) had 96/79/114.3
