Yesterday we were in the low 80's up through 1 or 2 pm. As soon as the garbage cleared the skies we ended up with a high of 98.

Today there is not a cloud in the sky and we should be capped tightly. 103 seems very reachable today. ILN is really talking up tomorrow saying 102-106. Definitely on par to experience the hottest day ever for me.*

*I will be attending an OUTDOOR wedding tomorrow at 5pm. :yikes: **** the suit and tie....

Just came back on.

Still 85 here.

That's good. Hope it stays on for everyone.

Setup looks similar to yesterday out this way, so I'm guessing another 97-99 for MLI. Tomorrow the conditions change and we add some compressional heating just ahead of the front. MLI seems to overperform on days like this, so I'll go with 103 tomorrow for them.

4 degrees ahead of yesterday at this time. Got to 103º yesterday...

...all time record for Indianapolis is 106º (7/14/1936, 7/21/1934, 7/22/1901)

I'm going with 105 for today.. Would be surprised if we tie or break the all time record.

Ready for some relief though!!

The low at ORD so far today (and probably entirely -- as long as nothing weird convection-wise occurs) is 82. The low temperature, in the official record, has been as high or higher on the following occasions:

83 -- 14 July 1995

82 -- 15 July 1980

82 -- 6 August 1918

82 -- 21 August 1916

82 -- 19 August 1916

84 -- 30 July 1916

85 -- 29 July 1916

84 -- 28 July 1916

82 -- 27 July 1916

82 -- 5 July 1916

It's interesting and important to note that most of these occurrences can be attributed to the period before 1942, when the official observatory was at a location in the city proper in close vicinity to the lake (either at the UC campus or at the USWB office locations). Even without this consideration, this is a rare event, clearly more rare than reaching 100 degrees.
