The 18th will be 20 years since Wisconsin's state-record tornado outbreak occurred on a day when the 1630 UTC tornado outlook looked like this:

The most notable was the Stoughton F3, to my knowledge still the most recent killer tornado in the MKX CWA and the Madison media market. It missed the house where I was living with my parents at the time by about 1/3 mile to the north (the fatality occurred on the north end of our subdivision). Also still the most recent truly long-track, photogenic, Plains-tier high end tornado in southern Wisconsin.

Huh, I did not realize the SPC outlook for 8/18/05 looked like that. Crazy it has been 20 years since then. I was too young to remember it personally though. I can't and frankly don't even want to imagine what it will be like when we get another Stoughton or Oakfield level tornado in the Madison area, and we have had a couple close call setups where that would have been possible the last few years.

All the way down to 52 here this morning.  Was a great night to have the windows open to let some of the smoke in.

Pretty interesting tidbit from DVN regarding the recent stretch of high humidity...

 In fact, Moline, Dubuque, and Cedar Rapids saw their most consecutive days of 65+ degree dewpoints since 1997 with over 40 days in a row!
