Just took the pup out for the lunch time potty break. It is not fit for man nor beast out there. I wish I could teleport just so I could go back home as soon as she is done.

I left at 8:30 this morning to go get more wood chips from downtown De Soto, 5th load. Stupid liability issues and they won't load the chips with a loader. Might bump a vehicle. So, pitchfork in hand, I loaded 10' trailer and bed of pickup. Just got back from doing the 6th load. I won't unload it until this evening, then the wife can help. It was sure nice to step into a 77* house. I just might stay in the house now that I have read in here how nasty it is outside.  |

Severe thunderstorms coming into iowa and minnesota packing large hail and damaging winds. Does not appear favorable to turn right and approach our area but might be something to watch. Could hit parts of the oh valley if it retains strength. I dont think it will approach our area but smarter ppl than me can weigh in.

Looking at water vapor, there seems to be a weakness in the ridge over the river valley that may allow that to drop SE towards the region. But I would bet it still tracks to the north across N MO and N/Central IL. |

CAMs pretty well keep that complex out of our area but they do agree that the OFB will sneak into the northern counties by morning and possibly set off some storms.

C'mon line of showers!! You can do it! Although it will be like pouring a cup of water on campfire. All it will probably do is add more steam to the atmosphere. |

So, what is the highest number of excessive heat warning days STL has seen in one summer? Seems like we have had a lot so far, for only being the real beginning of summer and heat. I'm not sure what the highest number is. What I do know is that in 2012 we experienced 17 EHW days. |

After this bout of heat the GEFS, GEPS, and EPS are saying the ridge is going to slide to the west putting us in the northwest flow and nice reprieve. Even out in the extended period (240+ hours) they are suggesting that the dome of heat will remain to our west.

I get the feeling this may end up being a front loaded summer in terms of heat, but I've been pretty wrong so far, so...lol |

Hoping the loose cluster of storms to the west can make it here before it falls apart...not much push left with this OFB

HRRR, RUC and 3km NAM all get some more storms going this afternoon and evening across the N half of the area...the OFB is going to create a strong differential heating zone that may focus development later today as another weak shortwave tops the ridge.

CAMs look favorable for a complex to cross N/Central MO into the N half of the CWA or so tomorrow morning...would be nice if that can track a bit further south and knock down the heating potential like today. But central IL seems to be the hot spot for these complexes lately, so I'm not holding my breath. I lost count of how many times they've seen soaking or even flooding rainfall just 10-20 miles north of here while we were high and dry. It's definitely been a persistent pattern.
