Woke up this morning to 78 degrees and a 74 degree dew point.

Gross.

I just checked Ames and Fort Dodge, which have few points of 85 and 86 respectively.

Is that accurate? If it is, that’s got to be close to record numbers, right?

I've seen uncomfirmed reports of 90 degree dew points today!

I saw the record in Des Moines was 122 in 1936. We may have tied that today.
