100 as far north as the TC. 110's in Missouri. Heat Indexes in the 120's Then all moving east. Mid to late week.
Enjoy. ;D
-
Yeah, I saw the forecast last night, gonna be hotter than a Devil's drawers for most of the central and southern US.
Get that AC going and have generators standing by!
-
Time to see the results of our Stuttering Crook's efforts to start taking coal power offline.
Already 110's in Kansas. Hill City was 114 yesterday. This will be a doozy.

Good day for timed egg cook off competitions on car hoods and whatever else ya got.

Electricity shortages a comin' (http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/06/26/us-utilities-texas-heat-idINBRE85O10G20120626)
No one outside of a Columbia Poli Sci or Journalism classroom could have seen this happening... ::)

You know what, let the dumbasses of this country start having rolling blackouts as another part of "the new normal". They've consistently voted for Democrats. They've consistently aped mindless platitudes about Green Energy, the destruction of hydroelectric dams because of some snail, and so on. Idiots. What a colossal bunch of slack jawed drooling morons we have for a citizenry in this country.
-
Our forebears are rolling in their graves. They broke their asses, and levied taxes, in order to see that everybody could have the boon of electricity to their homes and now .... this.
The grid has been allowed, nay, legislated, to degrade, power generation is being regulated out of existence, and schemes are in the works to permit the shut down of particular home systems and appliances via "smart meters".
If I wasn't alive right now to see with my own eyes, I'd never have believed "it could happen here". This is turd-world, banana republic, totalitarianism.
-
Going to break 110 again in Kansas. I wonder what the record is for consecutive days of doing that?

If we have a big heat wave I wonder if the Democrats are going to let them die like they did in France? Oh, that's right, they've already done it in Chicago.

It's on
Twin Cities, next several days
99, 91, 95, 91, 99, 100
Chitcago
93, 104, 93, 95, 90, 97, 95, 93, 93, off the end of the page with heat
St. Louis
97, 108, 106, 100, 106, 104, 99, 97, 97, into infinity...
-
Here in Charlotte we will be pushing the current records as well.
Friday: 100° (Record 102° 1945)
Saturday: 102° (Record 102° 1959)
Sunday: 101° (Record 99° 1954)
Monday: 100° ( Record 101° 1931)
It's even nicer with your classic southeastern addition of humidity somewhere around 300%
-
Nashville is supposed to see 100+ the next few days. I tell ya, it's climate chaos.
-
It was warm in Wi this weekend, not as hot as these places.
My mother watches Fox pretty much 24/7, she says the bad storms (inland hurricane) and DC being without power is God's judgement.
Who knows, she could be right.

Derecho, not something new. New to me too. WUWT's got some interesting
info.

And the quote of the day
"I live in Phoenix and see the daily weather highs & lows, so why was it 114 degs back in 1914? What was causing it to be so hot back then? Of course they have no answer except maybe too many horses were farting…"
-
Gonna be 95 - 100 the rest of the week on Central Ohio . ::speechless::
-
A little late (with the borderline of the heat wave slipping south, into northern Missouri, but it's now Minnesota's turn for real. 95-100 the whole week, pretty much. 80 at night.
-
Thank God it's started cooling off a little here. I can actually stand being outside. Temps are supposed to continue dropping through the high 90s this week.
-
How come when a storm his the east coast it has to have some funky name attached to it like its something special? We get straight-line winds and guess what? It's not called a Canadian Snort or anything...it's straight-line winds for crying out loud!
::)
-
Didn't y'all just get over something like that?
-
Year ago. Yup, take decades for every landscape to look normal again. Reports were possible tornado with straight-line winds and hail. Need a good name for it...but most of my ideas contain profane words.
-
I've never, ever heard anyone refer to these events as "derechos". I just always thought they were called "storms".

I'd never heard of "Real-feel" either (the temperature is "this", but FEELS like "this") before I started hearing it in NC last year. ::snort::
Feeeeeeelings have invaded everything.

I can't recall where I saw it now but the HPI (Happy Planet Index) just floored me. We're doomed...

What a tool!

Man, is it a hot one today! Supposed to hit 100, my area is at 97 now.

Welp, here ya go; I stumbled across this (http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-age-of-hyperbole/?singlepage=true) today:
Besides categorizing normal weather events as extreme, terms were created to increase the impression of abnormality. For example, the below map used by Alex Sosnowski, the so-called “expert senior meteorologist” at Accuweather, shows very high temperatures. But it is pure deception:
(http://pjmedia.pjmedia.netdna-cdn.com/files/2013/07/b.jpg)
Most readers would naturally assume that actual air temperatures are being shown, but they are being tricked. Instead, a contrived measure called the “heat index” is displayed. Heat index, a statistic Sosnowski refers as the “RealFeel” temperature, is created by combining air temperature and relative humidity. It presumably reflects the capability of sweat to cool the body — but it ignores wind speed, which is a critical cooling agent that makes it seem less hot than it actually is. Of course, in the winter, media meteorologists always cite the “wind chill,” since that makes low temperatures seem even lower. Both heat index and wind chill are simply propaganda tools designed to make viewers think conditions are more extreme than they really are.
So, now we know who the stinkin' propagandist is who came up with that one.
-
people have gotten stupid about everything including the weather
-
Ask the tool how hot it feels when I give him a hot-foot. Then, see if anybody feels like caring.
;D
See, it's easy to be a tool!
People are getting dumber, and lazier...Idiocracy taking root... ::facepalm::

You know what it takes to get that kind of heat index in St. Louis? Normal July weather. Temp in the 90's, dewpoint in the 70's.
Want to impress me? Give me a day like we had here, 2 years ago. Temperature of 96, Dewpoint of 84, equals a Heat index 120. That impressed me. Is it climate change, no. It's more and morons (sorry if I offend some as a sometimes biker who gets tired of being squirted on by auto lawn sprinklers) shooting water up in the air, watering their lawns. That really does add measurable humidity to the air in cities, as does crop watering do in the country.
-
It finally gets to be summer where I live and people are surprised and complain!
I wait a good part of the year so I can open my windows and people can't wait to turn on the AC.
-
Speaking of temperatures in the 90's, dewpoints in the 70's and a HI of 105ish...
Getting a little summer, finally, up here.
-
State Fair Effect?
-
Or just a weather pattern shift. After a cool summer, maybe this will hang on awhile, and we'll have a fall that lasts as long as winter lasted.
-
I'll take it!
Septober is my favorite time of the year...I just don't care much for what follows...
-
I like a normal October. 65 in the day, 45 at night, and color in the air.
-
Is it hot yet?
-
Hotter than a game of strip Spades, between SCoaMF and his body man. ::mooning::
-
Hotter than Africa. Seriously, I work in Da Hood, I heard one immigrant say to another "I gotta move back to Africa, man, it's hot!"...I just thought, "Yeah, I wouldn't stop ya, but neither of ya look serious about that movin' back part, Kwame!"...definite FreeShyter's, they ain't going anywhere...they love ObamaMerika.
-
Warm and/or hot again; still no rain. Lawns are dead, and the trees are dropping leaves already. OurMacintosh apple tree isn't producing like it should, but I still have to get out with my John Deere and mulch them at least every other day. The damned hornets (yellowjackets & bald faced hornets) LIVE in the fallen apples!
-
We got those critters going crazy too, leaving our honeycrisp tree alone for the most part at the lake, but they buzz like crazy on the south side of the house and my father likes to go out early in the morning when it is cool and they move slower and he enjoys slapping them down with his swatter.
-
Our temps are forecasted to climb no higher than 85 for the next week.
-
In the heart of Libiotville here in the People's Republic of Minnesnowta we go from 78 today to a high of 56 on Saturday. Be about the same it appears at the Lake in WI, gonna be cool when we bring the dock in.
I wouldn't want it any other way! ;D
-
Whut heat?
It got down to 45o last night, and it's not expected to reach 70o today.
-
Well, we did start this thread in late June...it should be winding down...even with all those evil CO2 emitters! ::hysterical::
