Hill City KS is 109 at 12 PM local time, 2 degrees higher than yesterday at this time...and yesterday they set an all-time June record (115).

Crazy!

Was just gonna post that. Their all-time high is 117 which is in some danger of being tied at least.

Has the media been hyping this heat at all? Here in Cleveland there's been hardly a mention. I mentioned to a few folks that tomorrow could be the hottest day in 20 years and I got blank stares of, what are you talking about. Someone even sent me a copied forecast page showing a high of 90. Perhaps the lake breeze will win out, but mercy if 100 comes to fruition as people will be quite surprised.

Mark Johnson and NEOWeather has mentioned it a few times on his FB page.

My current call for ORD for tomorrow is 103. Confidence: medium.

For Friday, I am not yet prepared to make an official call; it depends upon what happens with any precipitation (and associated debris cloudiness) tomorrow night, if any. (I remain rather skeptical -- even despite the 12z NAM jumping on board with MCS development for that period.) Somewhere in the mid or even upper 90's may not be a bad call for Friday at ORD if cloud cover is not an issue.

I will go bold and say we reach at least 100 tomorrow at KDTW

I'll go with 103 for DTW and 102 for DET...did not expect to be saying this, but due to very good mixing depicted by the NAM, temps should increase dramatically during the morning/afternoon from lower 70s around 8AM to around 100 near 2 PM.

..UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION

SHORT TERM

/TODAY/

MAIN ISSUE TODAY SURROUNDS MAX TEMPS AND THE HEAT INDICES AS THERMAL

RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE CWA WITH H85 TEMPS EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO AROUND

+30C OR HIGHER. SFC TROUGH AXIS SITUATED TO THE WEST STRETCHING FROM

CENTRAL NE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS...WITH THE MAIN

SURFACE LOW CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN PRAIRIE PROVINCES OF CANADA.

THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SFC WINDS TO BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY TO

SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE DAY...WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS BEING THE

DIRECTION ALLOWING FOR THE BEST WARMING ACROSS THE CWA. HOWEVER AS

THE SFC TROUGH APPROACHES THE CWA...COULD PUSH WINDS MORE SOUTHERLY

LIMITING THE WARMING A TOUCH. LATEST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MIXING

POTENTIAL TO AROUND 875MB...WHICH WOULD YIELD MAX TEMPS IN THE MID

TO UPPER 100S ACROSS THE CENTRAL/WESTERN/SOUTHERN CWA. ALTHOUGH

THESE MAX TEMPS ARE POSSIBLE...AM CONCERNED WITH RIBBON OF MOISTURE

ALOFT ALSO PROGGED TO PUSH INTO THE CWA THAT HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL

ALSO LIMIT WARMING AS WELL. HAVE STUCK MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THE

MODEL MIXING TOOL AND THE NAM GUIDANCE...HOWEVER STILL HAVE MAX

TEMPS NEAR A FEW RECORD HIGHS AT SOME LOCATIONS. WITH DEWPOINTS

EXPECTED IN THE THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 THIS AFTERNOON...HEAT

INDEX VALUES WILL RISE INTO THE 105 TO 110 DEGREE RANGE ACROSS THE

CWA. THEREFORE WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR THIS

AFTERNOON...AND EXPAND ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA WITH HEAT INDICES

APPROACHING 105 IN THE EXTREME EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN CWA.
