I mean, I am overweight and was doing physical work in the sun during peak heating, but once I went inside to cool off and rest I checked the temperature and I'm like, it's only 83!? I can't deal with low 70s dewpoints at any temperature, unless I'm not moving at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Mid 50's and thunder with fog. Last day of colder temps here in town. Looks like upper 70's - lower 80's on tap for the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice water and frequent breaks in my trucks AC have been my only respite. At least you got AC in your truck. This weather is brutal for those of us that work outside. Today is the worst here thus far. Of course, dealing with super cold isn’t easy either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 At 1630Z SPC expanded the upper Midwest marginal risk so Madison is just barely included in the 5% wind. Event of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Was just outside for the annual town garage sale. Had pop up showers and Thunder going around us for awhile and it finally started pouring on top of us. Mowed the lawn yesterday with the tractor and was worried the grass would dry out. So this current down pour is very nice. Finally heard some thunder activity. Only took til June 11th around here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Best (Only?) T-storm of the season in DeKalb. Hadn't looked at point and click since Wednesday when there was a 0 pop and 90's forecast, so this is a pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It was iffy, but looks like MSP kept their 90 streak alive at 9 days now. Tied for 3rd with 6 other years. None of the other streaks 9 days or longer were even in June, let alone in early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 95 today at MLI and also here, which is the hottest so far this year at both locations. Sterling hit 96. Picked up 0.04" of light anvil rain. Nice to hear thunder again at least. Also cooled down 20 degrees from earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The dry air sweeps in tomorrow morning and will remain for several days. With dews in the 40s and 50s, mornings and evenings should be pretty pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKX also issued their first SVR warnings of the year today. No reports in the area, though. Like all the other "rain" events this week, just a brief sprinkle in MBY. Pretty unusual (and depressing) to go through an entire spring without even one good gully-washer of an MCS here...and no prospects of such for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Over the past week I've been constantly dodging all the rain that has surrounded me including what must have been a torrential downpour just 20 miles to my south Weds evening. Either the cell splits and I'm in the middle, or like yesterday a cell formed nearly on top but the heavy precip was a minuscule 1/4 mile away from me! Then the line of weak showers weakened where I just got light sprinkles by evening (not even 1 mm). Those light showers that I was suppose to get overnight? Nothing . Today's precip where it looked like a rainy, crappy day - removed and its bright and sunny with high temps once again . This is getting neat.

Hoosier Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Today is the 6th 90+ degree temp at ORD this month. This is only the 3rd time that there have been 6 days AOA 90 in the first 12 days of June, the other years being 1933 and 1963. You have to remember that way back when, the official observation site was located quite close to the lake compared to now. But this is still a pretty impressive stat as the official observation site for the city has been located well inland for about the past 80 years.
