NBM said 98 F today. We made it to at least 100 F. NBM says 101 F for tomorrow. Given the NBM's low bias today I'm going to say 102 F for tomorrow. The thermal ridge looked like it weakened a bit heading into tomorrow, but we'll be starting the day out ahead of today temp wise...100+ looks like a solid bet for the Metro. |

The record for Aug. 27th is 102 F set in 1881. That is a 143 year old record.

Looks like 81 will be the low at lambert this morning The previous record was 80 F set in 1983. There is a good chance this will be the new record. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms before midnight though. |

When the dog goes out to run and potty and comes in and plops on the floor panting heavy, definitely not going for a walk. This is miserable.

My boss sent us home at noon. That is almost unheard of, extremely rare. Terrible heat out there today.

Awful weather pattern. Got spoiled last week and a little rain wouldn't hurt We need more than a little...the drought is rearing it's head again. Farmers are already cutting silage out here...doesn't look like a very good corn crop locally Agreed 100% My pond is dropping. My grass is dying. We need some rain. |

A few little popcorn storms bubbling down this way. Won’t amount to much of anything but something to look at in the sky anyway.

102 F is the high for the day. Even though it tied the previous record the year does get replaced with 2024.

I think the old record should stand, since they didn’t have all the pavement/ concrete heat islands in 1881. IMO you’re going to see more records broke just because of that, and of course the report a while back of questionable thermostat locations.

Drove down the Family Center in Bonne Terre about 3:45 was inside the store had several good rounds of Thunder through the building just to the east of there but never did get any rain there. Hit a few drops on the way home Northbound 67 but other than that not a drop. I know this one the sun was out earlier about 2:00 when I was outside it was just piercing but I also don't have the insulation on top that I used to have. But then son went behind the cloud and it was really quite nice, or not as piercing hot anyway. I sure hope this heat is short-lived. Sounds like the Atlantic might get active soon.

THIS TIES THE OLD RECORD OF 102 DEGREES SET IN 1881.I don't understand how it can be worded that "A record high temperature of 102° was SET at St Louis today." Then followed up with, " This ties the old record of 102° SET in 1881." The record was not SET today. Is that not a part of basic English?? Isn't this a 'breaking' of basic English rules regarding present and past tenses?? Just seems like a weird way to word it. 🤔🤔 Just to clarify I didn't "attend" every English class back in grade school/high school so I could have missed something. 🤔🤔😁 |

A friend of mine who lives just east of there on K hwy actually had tree limbs down from that storm. She posted pictures on Facebook. |

I would expect some decent storms Friday. These intense heat waves always go out with a bang.

IMO you’re going to see more records broke just because of that, and of course the report a while back of questionable thermostat locations. I couldn't agree more. The concrete jungle is so much worse now than it was in 1881! Both record years should be listed today with an * by it! |

Lot of lightning off to the east this morning when I was out watering. Drive to work consisted of places with water standing in parking lots, then bone dry road 1/4 mile past it, then more water standing...lather, rinse, repeat. I didn't look at radar, but must have been pretty blotchy.

.02 overnight.
Was hoping for more given the single loud clap of thunder that woke me up for the morning at 530
