Tropical Storm Elida, with a large amount of organized convection here, is expected to peak at 75kt/ category 1 in a couple of days

97 at Toronto -Pearson

nearly 5970meter 500mb closed high pressure near Wausau Wisconsin

It's impressive they could beat the Dust Bowl temperatures in Montana edit: Billings has no data from July 1934 when they could have been the hottest

looks like the high will be 96.4 for Fort Collins

so is this going to be Europe's hottest month or something? The GFS still has like +10C for France for a while.

My brother is out on a road trip for nearly a month. He sent me pics from Yellowstone. I bet he is baking in the heat, if he's not high up in altitude right now.

Today it will be 21-24 degrees celsius at 700mb over part of Colorado,. The highest temperature than Grand Junction, weather balloon sounding archive, has ever measured, is 22C

The MRMS says that 9.3" was in eastern Lucas County with a max of 9-15" on Kelley's Island. There were slow-moving storms during the nighttime and morning, stuck in the middle of the upper level low. Yesterday, showers and thunderstorms were slowly moving counterclockwise around Toledo but nothing much happened until closer to 10:00 near Kelley's Island and midnight near Toledo. The 00z HRRR had kind of a good forecast, but obviously there are huge surprising floods when you get over 4" quickly.
