Creston Heat Index of 147?

[CP44]

Yes my hometown is about 20 miles south of Creston. Outside of the Meth and pill poppers its not all bad.

Very true.... We own a business in town and we see plenty of those

I'm not sure Creston deserves to have this much said about it.

Probably true.... I got pulled over not too long ago by a state trooper and when he saw I was from Creston he said "I lived in Creston for a year, but moved because it was too rough." But honestly its not that bad

Name one town 7k or smaller in this state with a worse drug problem!

What if some of the people at those tv stations are "those kids?" :skeptical: Or did I just forget all that stuff from ISU when I walked in front of the cam?

My point is that there are a lot of bad "meteorologists" out there that don't do all the leg work.

Yeah I know, I'm just jerking your chain since there are actually a few ISU grad tv mets on here...:wink:

Gee - Austin is a chilly 93 with only 52% humidity today. Who knew I moved to the cool part of the country?!

One town in Iowa had a book named Methland written about it.

[clones_jer]

And why wouldn't we?

read the first two posts of the thread - we'd assumed you all perished in the firey 147. and by "we" I mean most of the US.

Theres a little more than meth and pills there.

Haha I figured. I've been acquainted with plenty over the six years I was in school.

Red Oak.

Close second, my hometown of Shenandoah.

Dew point of 90 seems awfully high. Checking Galveston, it looks like their dew point is 81. A few miles apart, I know, but you'd think sitting on the Gulf would be just about the highest dew point you'd see...

A dewpoint reading that high is definitely erroneous.

However, you can have higher dewpoints in the midwest than some places along the coast if you are close to a cornfield or something similar. The plants let off moisture in a process called evapotranspiration, thus increasing the dewpoint without having moisture advected in from a surface water body source like the Gulf.

147 is unlikely but the ones that were in 120 seems likely because Ames at 5:51 pm is 114 so earlier today I could see somewhat near that but some were exaggeration.

 

[sodakjoe]

so it's Dr. sodakjoe?

More like "Van Sodakjoe"

 

[RandomFan]

147 is the number of arerests in Creston today. Simple mistake.

If you look at the Iowa weather conditions from the national weather service NWS Des Moines Latest Surface Weather Observations , Creston (and many other IOwa weather stations are flagged

* - THESE STATIONS ARE NOT NWS STATIONS...THUS NOT UNDER NWS
QUALITY CONTROL. THEY ALSO DO NOT REPORT WEATHER SUCH
AS PRECIPITATION OR FOG.

BTW, for those waiting for the cool air, the heat index is down to 85 in a thunderstorm at the Sioux Gateway Airport (Sioux City).
