Even though the FWA area had 5-6" rains this morning, they have quickly shot up to 88° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Probably not worth nit-picking to death...but it's strange that RFD isn't under an excessive heat warning, even as it's 95/79/113. Seems like an abundance of caution should be taken for heat-related hazards, given the reports you often hear of children being left in cars, people with no AC, etc. Side note - I've always thought that the heat advisory and excessive heat warning thresholds in the LOT area are too strict to begin with. In other words, it's extremely difficult to hit the excessive heat warning criteria. Even with this in mind, today isn't a case of whether the criteria are too strict; the criteria were met in RFD but they're only under a heat advisory. And the overnight low temps, amount of sun, etc. could be considered too. RFD only dropped to 77 this morning, with dews in the mid-upper 70s for 9-12 consecutive hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 I can't remember the exact name of it, but there's something like wet bulb global temperature which factors in wind speed and other things that the traditional heat index does not. I wish that could be incorporated into the decisions on heat headlines. A day with little/no wind and a heat index of 101 feels worse to me than a breezy day with a heat index of 106. The latter day would likely get a heat advisory while the former wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criteria for an EHW outside of Cook Co is two days of heat indices of 110+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and my bad on the exact criteria. But that just reinforces the point that the criteria seem to be too strict. Just my two cents...but even one day of 110+ HI (or 2 days of 105+ HI), along with the wet bulb global temp considerations that Hoosier mentioned, seems to be more than enough for a warning. I understand that the NWS doesn't want to be accused of crying wolf...but anything close to a 110 HI for even two seconds is brutal with no AC. It can cause major problems for vulnerable people.

cyclone77 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hit 97 both here and MLI today, about as expected. Heat index reached 115 here, and at least 114 at MLI. Dew hit 80 here for the 2nd day this year. DVN only got down to 80 early this morning. Low won't hold for calendar day though as outflow/precip will dip them well below that before midnight.

tuanis Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Potent lake breeze has been eating away at any advancing precip for hours here, will be interesting to see when/if it gets overcome. Reminds me of dry easterlies delaying the onset of a snowstorm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
