This headline....... "The World Meteorological Organization has ‘no immediate plans’ to name heatwaves." Seriously? I meant to edit my original but the Fedex guy showed up and I was sidetracked. Here is the link from The Verge. I was reading a Spacex article about the 32nd launch this year so far, breaking last years record and that headline 'caught my eye'. The Fedex guy had my wife's car parts. Naturally he delivers them on the hottest day. I just got finished doing an R & R on all sway bar bushings and sway bar links. Fun, fun, fun. Heatwaves |

I needed a LH trim cap for behind the door handle from when I fixed the DD’s lock a couple weeks ago and broke a tab putting it back on. They sent me one for the right side doors. $4 part, $10 shipping. We’ll see how their customer service is next week. |

The low yesterday was 84F. I believe this is a new record, but I have not seen the official report yet.

I suggest using the names of adult beverages. Heat Wave Margarita has a ring to it. |

Models have shunted the bulk of the precip south tomorrow but that seems aggressive looking at the 500mb charts and they've been all over the place. But there's good agreement that a complex will cross the region Tuesday AM along the retreating boundary, favoring the MO river valley and points north. I sure hope we don't get the dreaded split the next couple days...

I admit I was surprised to see the article about the # of 100* days during the summer. At only 5 days so far we are tied for 14th place. So then I decided to look at 12z GFS 2m Temps and I sure as hell hope it is very, very wrong or we will get close to tying 2012 with 13 days. Did I say I hope the GFS was wrong?
I counted 5 days of 100+ toward the end of the forecast period and there was a couple high 90's in there too.
I forget exactly how the saying went or even who said it, something like "the longer a pattern persists, the longer the pattern will persist." I, personally, am tired of this pattern.

I think 2012 had over 20 days over 100. I could be wrong.

I think 2012 had over 20 days over 100. I could be wrong. 13 days 100 plus in 2012, at KSTL. 1980 still is a standard bearer for miserable in my book (in high school then). 18 days 100° or above and very few days below 90° in July and August. Stayed pretty hot well into September. Humid too. Sticks in my mind because I had an emergency appendectomy on the 4th of July that year, back when it was a much more invasive surgery than it is now. It was a nearly 3 week recovery before I could do much of anything but I remember my parents setting the thermostat at 80° and keeping all of the curtains closed during the heat of the day to save money (economy sucked too as those who were around then can testify). 1936 also had 18 days above 100° but it sounds like it was a lot closer to 2012 in the "dry heat" category. |

Definitely a long-range signal for the heat to return first week of August as the ridge rears it's ugly head again. Let's enjoy the coming week...

FROPA but no storms yet. Toasty mid-level temps are keeping a lid on things so far today. Some development out towards COU may work in later today. But looking pretty "meh" overall...

Operational GFS has Omaha at 119 one day. 🥵 I think it's safe to say the GFS has a warm bias in the extended range. Can't wait to see what nonsense it has in store this winter, lol |

Got good cloud cover which helped knock temps back a few degrees Temp dropped 5* down to 90* after FROPA within an hour but it's slowly climbing again with full sunshine. Looks like the bulk of the storm activity is going to be across the S CWA which is what most models showed. Hope to get some showers around here later on but we'll see. My plants are barely staying alive with this heat and wind sucking any moisture left out of the ground. And the raccoons are having a hayday with the sweet corn  |

So, Aug 2012 had 3 days of 100+ July had 15 June had 3 21 My bad. I failed to note the date on the slide by the STL NWS shared. 13 days through July 22nd.  |

So, Aug 2012 had 3 days of 100+ July had 15 June had 3 21 I think the most impressive stat from 2012 is the 10 day consecutive stretch of 100*+ temps with 7 of those being 105* or higher. That's absolutely remarkable...like a Texas heatwave. |

I can comment on late Sept. 1980 here, 12 miles east of De Soto, in Festus.  My future wife brought me out here for a "vacation". Nope, forward thinking has never been my strong point. Anyway, I remember Sept. because it was the time that the news broke of Zep drummer John Bonham passing away. My wife's grandparents had no AC and I remember going out to sleep/pass out (still drinking days) in the back seat of and old 64 Nova. My main recollection was one of misery when I woke up soaking wet from sweating. The humidity was stifling to me. That was 'my experience' in understanding how Missouri (Misery) got it's name.  Ended up getting married here (Festus) on 12/30/81. Headed back to CA before the "Blizzard" hit.  |

So, Aug 2012 had 3 days of 100+ July had 15 June had 3 21 I went back to look at the NWS write up and , naturally, it's gone. I figured maybe I misread something. I was certain the word 'summer' was in the wording. Even if I missed that and they were just referring to July it was still incorrect. Is there a place to go to find their write ups? |

I Just went to the climate area on the site and went to look at the daily data for june-aug and counted the 100 days.

Sitting in a gas station parking lot in wherever, Illinois, off if I70. Probably a couple of miles east of Effingham. Raining so hard that folks are pulling off of the interstate. Cannot see.

Constant storm after storm development to my south and moving away. Sad to watch and hear the thunder. Not a drop here.
