Congratulations Dave, on your well deserved retirement! I echo the sentiment that you continue with your long range forecasts, we always look forward to them. Hope that you're on Glover still, that's always a hoot. Enjoy your time with your family and your puppy! And please tell us when you're going out of town, that always mean that we get more weather! lol
And Congratulations to you, Chris! Will look forward to the morning news!!!

Hi was 102. Max dp 77 min do 71. Pretty impressive to have a 70 plus dp with temps 98 to 103. Usually they drop when its that hot. I firmly believe the advisory should of been today as well. But its splitting hairs its just hot and poor air quality. Classically brutal July day and its Friday the 13th. I think you need to find a new source for weather. I was unable to find a NWS station higher than 97 today and the highest heat index I found was 106. I've also noticed this is a pattern with your observations. I know the way my home station is setup, I cannot rely on it in the morning because it gets some direct sunlight, but is better later in the day as the shade moves over it. |

98F was the high at the airport today. That makes it the hottest day of the year so far.

I would pay to have the storm to the SW turn east a bit and head to me in st Clair. Have not had rain here in a month.

So how stormy is it suppose to be this weekend? Id say maybe 35% to 40% of the viewing area will see rain for at least a small portion of the weekend. |

Anyone have any insight on how Radarscope sets their little lines showing the vectors of the rain cells? A lot of times they seem fairly accurate. But other times (like tonight) anyone who has eyesight can see the cell is moving ENE. But the vector like shows it moving SE. Obviously it's an automated calculation so some deviation and inexactness is inevitable. But this isn't even close.

I'm pretty sure the storm vectors are coming from the NEXRAD Level 3 data (i.e. NOAA); specifically the SCIT (Storm Cell Identification and Tracking) products. I don't think RadarScope or the vendor (WDT) are doing the calculation. |

How hot is it going to get today?
Yesterday was 98 and if thunderstorms steer clear of the airport I'm thinking we could match that today.

There's a remnant MCV spinning through eastern KS noted on visible satellite which may play role in storm development later in the day. There's also a kink in the 500mb flow up in IA scooting more east and leaving some shortwave ridging behind it, though we should remain more or less downstream of the shortwave axis through tonight. Dewpoints across the region appear to be in the low to mid 70s with strong surface heating across the region. Not surprisingly we can already see a cumulus field building on visible satellite from about mid-MO southward. Morning soundings from KSGF and KLSX showed 700mb temps less than 10C so there shouldn't be a lot to resist bouyancy. The latest HRRR and 3kNAM are showing good storm coverage especially through the metro later in the day. Shear is fairly weak but with MLCAPE values likey to be over 2000j/kg some of the storms could be strong - perhaps even some severe from dying storms or if a cold pool driven MCS develops.

Dew point pulling up to 80 to here. Temp 99. By far the most miserable day of the summer.
