cyclone77 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Temps languishing out this way for some reason. Looks like MLI/DVN have only made it to 95 so far, 96 here. Looks like a fail AFA reaching 100. Yesterday's 120+ heat indices will end up being the most impressive aspect of this heat wave for the QCA, and that certainly was very impressive.

beavis1729 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Low at ORD this morning was 81. If this holds through midnight (actually, even if it stays at 79+), it will be the warmest min on record for so late in the season. Next closest is 78 on 8/27/2020. We'll have to see if any storms or the lake-enhanced front brings the temp down before midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Cedar Rapids has stalled at 95º over the last hour. Combined with a lower dew point, the heat index is 12º less than at this time yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like there have only been 4 days [in 3 years] with 100+ readings later in the calendar year. It was 101 on September 1 & 2, 1953, and 100 on September 7, 1939 & September 7, 1960. For the record, it was also 100 on this date in 1947. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my son and fiancé text me in the middle of the night and can’t sleep. I said same thing down in Ohio lol. Still going currently not looking forward to driving in tropical downpours This group of storms hit my place hard at 0756z apparently, and moved west, slowly, and weakened. Toledo area got 2-3" . Areas west of Toledo had much less rainfall. The newest HRRR run shows the cap breaks big time in Michigan from hour 5 to hour 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got several 10 second huge rain drop downpours tons of brilliant CC lightning overhead but only ended up with a bit over an 1" of rain. I would have loved to have gotten that that 7.36" total. So close but yet so far . It was definitely enjoyable last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiño Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Lots of lightning and “violent” sounding thunder here in SE Wisconsin with that warning. Nothing to note of warning levels though.
