Hoosier

For Duluth, average June high temp was 78.6, which is the warmest average June high temp on record. Old record was 77.2 in 1910.

This will finish as the 4th warmest June on record for Chicago, and the warmest June since 1971.

I think we've seen this look before And precip:

Answer: yearly deficit of -5.19". Alek wins. Was extremely close with his guess of -5.1" Good rains fell, but ORD was not in one of the heavier swaths. June is running a nice precip surplus now, and almost half of this year's precip at ORD has fallen in June.

I think that is the one when everybody in the Mid Atlantic learned what a derecho was.

So here's something interesting. I know our county's tornado history like the back of my hand (have read through all the old Storm Data entries for each one as well as old newspaper articles, etc.) and between 1950-2018, there were no recorded tornadoes in Dyer. There have been 2 since 2019. That is hard to believe, so possible/likely that things were missed in the past considering that the technology/detection was not that good in early decades and that Dyer used to be a lot smaller than it is now.

LOT released more detailed info on these. Interestingly, the Dyer/Schererville, IN tornado occurred first (and was unwarned), which means that the tornado warned cell that we were watching that produced the tornado in Crete, IL was not the one that produced in IN.

Portland, on the other hand, is 114. No problem there.

Feels weird saying it, but Seattle is underachieving with temps currently in the mid 100s. I noticed that winds have taken on a westerly component there. I am not familiar with the nuances of that area, but it would seem like that is not as favorable as something with an easterly component?

Big downpour for a while. I am probably approaching 8" of rain since this all started.

99 in Seattle at 11 am Pacific time. I guess that means it's going to be pretty hot. 7 degrees ahead of yesterday at the same time.

Said surface boundary is quite plainly visible

Flash Flood Watch for about the southeast 2/3 of LOT.

Yeah I agree. There were some unofficial readings at or near 110 in the Ohio Valley in 2012 where the worst of the drought was, so that adds confidence that it can happen in modern times if the right pattern comes along when it's been very dry.

It is hard enough to imagine 110 in MLI. I think that could happen nowadays in the right setup in the midst of a big drought, but the all-time state high temperature records in the Midwest are not gonna be easy to break. IA: 118 MO: 118 IL: 117 IN: 116 MN: 115 KY: 114 WI: 114 OH: 113 MI: 112

After taking until June 8 to get the first tornado of the year in Indiana, there have been 12 tornadoes between June 8 and June 26. Quite a turn.

Totally nailed the winds on the Dyer tornado (I estimated 70-80 when I was there) Public Information Statement National Weather Service Chicago IL 506 PM CDT Sun Jun 27 2021 /606 PM EDT Sun Jun 27 2021/ ...NWS Damage Survey for 06/25/2021 and 06/26/2021 Confirms Four Tornadoes... NWS storm surveys confirmed four tornadoes from severe thunderstorms on June 25th and 26th. June 25th: 1. Danforth: EF-1 (estimated peak winds of 95 mph) June 26th: 1.

Chatsworth: EF-0 (estimated peak winds of 80 mph) More details on path length and width are forthcoming. $$ Kluber

If the oranges and reds were where the blues and greens are, I wonder if JB would have said that 75% of the nation population weighted would be ruled by warm.

Let's play Jeopardy This location in northern Illinois got screwed out of much of the recent rainfall, receiving only 0.24" Correct response: What is Rockford?

Parts of LOT had 5-8" from Thursday through Saturday (mainly south of the drought area). Total at ORD during that time was 2.40"

Yes. Latest NWS forecast for SeaTac tomorrow is 111. Unreal. Been some painstakingly slow progress in search and recovery. Must be agonizing for loved ones even though you kind of figure the worst.

Forecast for Seattle on Monday is 109. That is like beyond words.

Meyer's Castle seemed ok. The damage is in the subdivision south of there. It was an impulsive decision to go and I felt rushed with waning daylight, but I was struck by how small the damage area seemed. It went from basically no damage, to what looked like it would've been 70-80 mph winds near that intersection that I mentioned, to nothing again very quickly. It's possible that I missed some of it though.
