Its a decent replacement for the NWS mosaic but I still don't have a good local one as I'm in the radar hole between DTX and BUF radars on that one. TWN radar is painfully terrible and abandoned since they are basically running on fumes. How do I set the radar to current for that GIS page? The other is too small at: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=usrad&java=none&mode=realtime&frames=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that condo collapse...I think the death toll will exceed 100. 35 units obliterated, most with people in them and some with 4-5 people in a unit. I can't think of an accidental collapse with a death toll that high for any building in the US. At least they have the "sister unit" which is identical a few parcels to the north. If they made critical errors in building the south one, maybe they are present in the north one-which I believe has already been evacuated as a precaution-or is about to be.

From what I have read, most of the relatives know that there is really little chance of survival for anyone at this point. Also making it worse are the fires-one was pretty intense and deep down in the rubble. I don't know if it is out yet or not. This must be very unsettling for anyone living in a highrise along the coast. And Seattle is going to burn! I wonder how many even have air conditioning? It will be brutal-the all time high for all of Ohio is 113 and that was in the 30's. They will have to watch out for heat deaths as well as an increase in accidental drownings. Extreme heat(sometimes plus alcohol)plus plunging into deep and cold water is not a good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Osoyoos BC 7-Day: This is inconceivable, now TWN is forecasting the hottest Canadian temperature on record beating the previous record by 2ºC!!! Even better, back-to-back-to-back days showing the hottest temps in our nation's history . WTF!?!? Then the humidex, nearly 50C all three days which is probably the highest since 2011 anywhere in Canada. It'll cool off to around 100F by the end of the week. Kamloops BC is also putting up a 45 and 46C highs in the coming days with a near 50C humidex - Kam is much further north than Osoyoos. Anyone without AC in these regions is in serious trouble. There is also a settlement in Northwest Territories - Nahanni Butte that is 36C currently and this Tues TWN shows 37C with humidex of 44C - I've never heard of humidex values nearly that high in NT!

beavis1729 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Portland OR hit 112 today, was 110+ for 5 consecutive hourly obs. Previous all time high was 108 (set yesterday). Record before that was 107. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 That's crazy heat out there. For MLI to beat their all time record by 5 degrees it'd have to hit 116. Can't imagine that ever happening lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

'95 is one of the rare times when we hit 100 when it wasn't a dry period. All this hybrid corn really puts a dent in ultra max out potential. For us to ever have a shot at 110+ it will have to be a near dust-bowl era type of drought that wipes out most of the crops fairly early on in the summer. With as strange as the weather has been this year I could see something like that happening eventually unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Torchageddon Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The all-time Canadian record has been broken a day early: That's 116F. This is just the beginning of a defining weather event, basically my wet dream. I would've never believed we'd be beating our all-time record by margins like this. There is already talk of one in a thousand year event, etc. I think its going to be one of the most extreme weather events in Canadian history, along with my favorite March event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 What in the fresh hell is this? That's a 26C departure for Abbotsford BC, with the hottest humidex in Canadian history That will easily surpass Lubbock Texas's all time highest temperature . The 7-day at the top is Lytton BC, with their feel like 126F Tuesday. Nothing special there. Then what might be one of the most stupid things I've ever seen in wx forecasting is for Vancouver to surpass their all-time high temperature by FIVE WHOLE DEGREES CENTIGRADE!!! I've never heard of that happening anywhere and will be a unique feature in history if later today we get the 40. Humidex also set to 46-47 for them. Vancouver getting to 40 before me is just not fair; I hope I'm teleported in my sleep to the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Some downsloping comes into play for the extremity of the surface temperatures in Cascadia. Today should be Seattle's hottest day of the heat wave and will smash yesterday's all-time high temp record. The 12Z Quillayute, WA ballon launch captured historically warm temperatures aloft. 850mb temp below. 500mb heights were also about 20m higher than the previous record (Aug-Oct is typically when they reach a maxima there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy that Buffalo has never hit 100. I felt over 110 degrees in Arizona for the first time last month and it was insane how hot that felt. I love the heat but that was a little too much.

Hoosier Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
