Extreme Dewpoints

Posted: 16 Jul 2010 05:13 AM

The featured map displays maximum observed dewpoints on this past Wednesday. Observation sites in both the ASOS and AWOS networks reported dewpoints in the lower 80s, which is a rare event. Dewpoint values just in the lower 70s are considered dangerous! A front was able to sweep the state clean of this obscene air for now, but there is plenty of time in summer left for it to return.

Voting:
Good = 72
Bad = 12
