Hoosier

Through 6/11, MSP is +15.0 degrees. Is that a lot?

Some of that conversation is chopped off on my end (not sure if it's just my phone) but I know LAF has not been a local dry spot of any significance. In fact, IND actually has a larger precip deficit on the year than LAF.

95 in Rockford, 3 degrees ahead of yesterday at the same time.

Euro is very hot late next week. Doesn't have great support for heat of that magnitude though.

Flip to what? Raining more than it has in the past 2 weeks? I can buy that. Getting consistently wetter than average weather to erase/nearly erase the deficits? I don't see that anytime soon.

I know you had covid. You fully recovered from that?

RAP and HRRR have mid 90s in Rockford tomorrow. Last night's 00z runs were way underdone for today so probably can't completely rule out 100 at RFD.

It does seem to be on the outer bounds of plausibility. Looking at temps aloft, surrounding high temps and factoring in some urban effects at RFD, it really shouldn't have gotten past 94 or so, maybe 95 at most. I don't think this is a new thing at RFD as they seemed to be running warm months ago.

C & P the entire article so people don't just see the headline and freak. This isn't that shocking at this point as there was indication of this from Israel. Heart inflammation in young men higher than expected after Pfizer, Moderna vaccines -U.S. CDC By Michael Erman and Manojna Maddipatla (Reuters) -A higher-than-expected number of young men have experienced heart inflammation after their second dose of the mRNA COVID-19 shots from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, according to data from two vaccine safety monitoring systems, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday. The CDC and other health regulators have been investigating heart inflammation cases after Israel’s Health Ministry reported that it had found a likely link to the condition in young men who received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. The agency said it is still assessing the risk from the condition and has not yet concluded that there was a causal relationship between the vaccines and cases of myocarditis or pericarditis. While some patients required hospitalization, most have fully recovered from their symptoms, the CDC said. More than half of the cases reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) after people had received their second dose of either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines were in people between the ages of 12 and 24, the CDC said. Those age groups accounted for less than 9% of doses administered. "We clearly have an imbalance there," Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC's Immunization Safety Office, said in a presentation https://www.fda.gov/media/150054/download to an advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration meeting on Thursday. The overwhelming majority of the cases have occurred within a week of vaccination, Shimabukuro said. There were 283 observed cases of heart inflammation after the second vaccine dose in those aged 16 to 24 in the VAERS data. That compares with expectations of 10-to-102 cases for that age range based on U.S. population background incidence rates, the CDC said. Shimabukuro said there was a predominance of males in younger age groups among the reported heart inflammation cases. The median age of patients who experienced the inflammation after a second vaccine dose was 24, according to the VAERS data. Just under 80% of the cases were in men. Shimabukuro also said the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) - another safety monitoring system - showed an increased incidence of heart inflammation in 16 to 39 year olds after their second shot when compared to the rate observed after the first dose. Pfizer said it supports the CDC's assessment of the heart inflammation cases, noting that "the number of reports is small given the number of doses administered." About 130 million people in the United States have received both doses of one of the mRNA vaccines. "It is important to understand that a careful assessment of the reports is ongoing and it has not been concluded that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause myocarditis or pericarditis," the company said in a statement. Moderna said it also has not established a causal association with the condition and its vaccine. It said it is actively working with public health and regulatory authorities to further assess the issue. The CDC said it will hold a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices next week to further evaluate the evidence and assess the risk of myocarditis following mRNA vaccination for COVID-19.

Not at a crazy high level by any means, but cases have recently more than doubled in the UK.

Through the 10th, ORD is ~ +8.3

High of 90 at ORD, 89 at Midway, and number unknown at the ex-home of Chi Storm.

Climate report has 97. Airmass aloft is a bit warmer tomorrow. Could be at least 98-99 there lol.

There appears to be a problem with the afternoon climate report for ORD. It has a high of 88, but there were some 5 min obs of 90 throughout the afternoon. Accounting for possible rounding means the high should've been no lower than 89.

Would never predict it so far in advance, but it sort of feels like we are laying the groundwork for 100 degree weather in Chicago at some point. If not a multi day affair, then one of those intense 1 day eastward discharges of hot air from the west.

Lakefront would've been ideal, but this was ok. Just a little appetizer for the big one in 2024.

This thing is an opportunistic son of a gun. And yeah, could be a glimpse into our future, if not in summer then in the fall/winter when the seasonality component kicks in.

Had a nice sunrise. You know the general direction to look in of course, but I wasn't exactly sure where the sun was going to pop out from. It happened to be right behind a tree so I repositioned myself a little bit after taking this pic. With never seeing a sunrise eclipse before, something I didn't anticipate was that my eclipse glasses wouldn't work very well in the first few minutes after sunrise. I really couldn't see the sun at all through the glasses at first. Did take a crappy quality pic through the glasses where you can see a little bite of the sun blocked on the left side

Katy bar the door if there isn't sig relief by the end of June. Just a hunch.

Yeah looks good to go

Hope the modeled area of clouds/fog near the lake doesn't screw up eclipse viewing. Will assess closer to 5 am to decide if it's worth heading out to my spot.

It's been a tale of 2 subs so far this month. The north has been an inferno while the southern part is near or even below average.

Top severe event of the year in Indiana.

Starting to see some brown grass in sun exposed areas. Pretty minor overall at this point though I imagine it may be more noticeable up in the city/north where the deficits are larger.
