Beats the heck out of January, doesn't it. $\:D/$

Wow! That's insane for Kansas Ryan!! At least the dew points arent too high in your neck of the woods, we have been in the 90s lately with dew points in the low 70s.

NOT FUN

Our's won't be that high, but we're a little more humid here. After three days of being wishy-washy, here's the forecast for Green Country

I'm sure it will change by tonight.

Doug, I'm going to guess your forecast is hotter than ours....

AWL · « **Reply #7 on:** June 24, 2012, 07:43:25 PM »

Not to bad as we speak. Forecast to hang at the century mark all week. My WxSim is forecasting a bit higher at about 101-104°F. Hit 100° the first time this year today. Looks to be another long hot summer for the plains.

Gotta love the plains. Extreme heat in summer and biting cold wind chill in winter. Being able to see a supercell roll in from 50 miles. If you like extreme weather in all season the plains is the place to be. I love it.

Yeah it sounds really awesome, I hope to visit the plains one day.

Upper 90s for us to near 100 with dew points around 70 is gonna be an ugly day, Friday that is

on the flip side, it's 65 here now close to 11am and high should only be in the low 70's. We really do need rain though as many others do.

105 @ 1pm

Whew I feel for you guys, and in two days I'll feel like you guys. The heat and humidity return to the midwest on Thursday. NWS has us at 102 but I could see us going higher. Humidity will be insane too because the corn is pollinating and you can just see a haze hanging over the fields.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2012, 03:58:09 PM »

I hear that Chicago has a chance at beating the town's *ALL-TIME* high temperature of 105F.

It only takes a spark. 8% is insane

Farmtalk · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2012, 04:37:04 PM »

I will be a little worried as well in the coming days...We have only gotten a little over half an inch of rain in 3 weeks when we are supposed to get 5 inches for the month, and with this prolonged heat heading this way, any big gusts of wind could start trouble.

cospringswx · « **Reply #19 on:** June 26, 2012, 05:29:30 PM »

111 and 7% humidity. Thats wild. Had a wind gust of 40.3 at 3:27pm

Farmtalk · « **Reply #20 on:** June 26, 2012, 05:59:00 PM »

It now says 6%

Aardvark · « **Reply #21 on:** June 26, 2012, 06:26:28 PM »

humidity here is 45%, but tomorrow it should go lower because of the heat.. the rain issue is a real problem. The average for my station since 2002 is 5.93, we have had 1.26 carrying over last summer's deficit. So I watered the garden tonight figuring that the leaves have enough time to dry and the soil to absorb as deep as it is going..

what has me worried is that the 36 inch sensor is in clay and it is beginning to dry out down that far... 4 inches I can see. I don't water over by the sensors so the values are pretty well based on actual soil conditions with bare earth above.

cospringswx · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2012, 06:29:52 PM »

Pretty dry here as well. I've 6.50in of rain this entire year.
