Considering the Temperatures we had this time last year it could be worse.

15% tornado risk added by SPC up in MN/WI. HRRR simulating some nasty UH tracks up there.

Temp: 95*
DP: 76*
Gross. Atleast there’s a breeze to take a slight edge off the heat

Quit early today........heat exhaustion wasn’t fun a few years ago when that happened.

I was going to ask the same...that's a phenomenal spear point! It's a G-10 Dalton point (85000-10,500 years old) and quite rare which is why I'm very curious to know the story on it! I have a few Daltons but nothing to that level! Daltons are amazing and awesome! |

Idk if this has been posted, but saw this on FB. IDT Chris can put this on air, but thought it looked funny. I don't know if who to credit. It is out of a KC bar.  |

Not a single tornado report today despite the 15% hatched risk. It's a good thing those initial supercells were basically north of the synoptic warm front.  Because just a bit further south the environment was diabolical per Minneapolis special afternoon sounding...  |

A supercell composite of 88.4? Ya that qualifies as diabolical

I thought it might be interesting to post a view of the urban heat island effect as seen by the ABI radiometer on the GOES-16 satellite. Below is an image from channel 14 at 6:00am which is centered on the infrared part of the spectrum at 11.2 um. That's about the center of the range your hand held IR thermometer is looking at by the way. Anyway, you'll see a deep black shade along I-70 from St. Charles Country over to the Mississippi River and into downtown STL which is traditionally the spot where the UHI is maximized in the metro area. This is where the infrared photon flux as seen by the ABI is the highest. One important caveat in the interpretation of infrared imagery...higher fluxes don't necessarily mean warmer surface temperatures though that is typically the case. The reason is because the flux is measured from space and there are two things that modulate flux intensity. The first is obviously the emission of IR photons from the surface. The second is the water vapor content in the atmosphere. WV partially shadows the surface IR flux. More WV means more surface IR flux shadowing from the perspective of the ABI. Those photons don't just disappear; they get returned back to the surface and that's why they get partially hidden from the satellite. That's what is happening on a broad region scale here. There is less WV to the north and more to the south which explains why the IR flux appears higher to the north and lower to the south even though the surface temperatures were roughly the same. But, in the metro area where WV is locally homogeneous you really are observing higher surface temperatures along I-70 and into downtown STL. Can anyone spot anything else interesting?  |

Speaking of Colorado... just settled in at our home for the next few days in Estes Park... where it is a chikky 58 rught now I'm guessing there's still some snow at the elevations along Trail Ridge Road. Enjoy. Fun science experiment. If you brought something like a bag of potato chips from STL take it up Trail Ridge Road and see how the bag expands because of the thinner air at the higher elevation. We had a bag of chips split open at the bottom seal because of the change. |

My view this morning! We are expecting some Rocky Mountain storms after 3pm! It will be amazing! That's awesome. We're heading the other way, to Gulf Shores, where it's also cooler than it is here. Softball trip originally, but the team disbanded; so we made a full week vacation out of it with NOTHING on the agenda. |

Is your boy with you Chris? I love Estes Park! Try and go to a chuck wagon supper! Those are fun! And hope you see actual wildlife wandering around Estes streets! Not just people!🤨 and throw a snowball!!!! Have a great restful time!
