So much for that. That area had a decent amount of smoke yesterday which held temps down, so that very well could have caused the severe event to underperform.
The official temperature at 3 pm for Grand Rapids is 95 with a DP of 72 and a heat index of 103. Here at my house I have a 3 pm temperature of 99.6 which can be rounded up to 100 and a DP of 76 giving a heat index of 116. Yes it is hot out today. Here is the 3 PM readings from Marquette.
