This is the first EF5 tornado in the US since the 5/20/13 Moore, OK tornado, ending one of the longest droughts of EF5/F5 tornadoes in modern history.

Here is the official statement: kamala.cod.edu/offs/KFGF/25...

The Enderlin, ND tornado from 6/20/25 has been upgraded to EF5.

Not too shabby in the central Colorado mountains today.

Air quality really varies across the Denver area this evening as some smoke trapped in the foothills escaped downhill into Boulder/Louisville, while very clean air persists over downtown Denver.

Would be a great spot to test various sensors.

Oh I bet. Even from Arkansas I’m not sure if personally I could distinguish an 84 dewpoint from a 94 dewpoint.

I keeping seeing these but do we know anything about these sensors? We know a lot of sensors go wild above a Td of ~80F. For example a lot of bogus AWOS and CWOP dew points in the mid-upper 80s over the mid south the past few days.

The NWS HeatRisk product is really highlighting a large part of the central and southeast part of the country late this weekend into early next week with major to extreme threat. This will be a multi day heatwave so people should prepare and make sure vulnerable friends and family will be okay.

You're welcome
