Weather station just pinged me, 112 heat index in the shade here in the corridor.
Miserable flipping day…but the AC is roaring, and I just made my first ice cold drink….so….life ain’t bad.

Flipping homes for a living where it’s very rare to run the system in the house due to jacking up the systems with all the dust we are creating. Makes it feel like just another normal day. That’s why I start early to get off early to go to the pool. Very rare that I find a guy in construction complain about it being “too hot” now the cold…that’s a whole nother animal
I went golfing today and shot my best round of the year. *

I dunno what it was like in SW Iowa today, but whatever it was - that's feeding the rains that some of NW Iowa (badly needed rain) and southern MN has gotten today - and what they're forecasting here in SE MN/SW WI and NE Iowa tonight.
The LaCrosse NWS 3pm narrative mentioned (paraphrasing/summarizing) "terribly heavy rains are certainly possible tonight". Now, they seem to think NC Iowa and SC MN will get the worst of it...but from say I90 down to US 20 from say I35 all the way into SW WI is pretty much all in a flood watch. They're in a semi-drought north of here so it's needed...just not all of it in one evening is all.
And I can say with great certainty that there's something about this area that once every 3-4 years, exactly that happens. I think it was 2017, we had a 10 day period where we got a foot of rain all in one night, then a week later got 9". And the weather leading up to those events was just like today. Low 90's, near 80 dew points, and a near stationary front draped over the area with disturbances riding the front like a train.
One big ass cell right after another, all night long.
We're due for a big drenching, we might just get one. Looks like in NC Iowa and southern MN...the shit done started, and it's slowly moving our way.

91 degrees in high humidity is around 105+ for the heat index.
It gets hot in the Midwest. I was in Canada when the temp was 104 there and there was no AC. The difference is that it usually cools off overnight so you get some relief when the sun sets, even without an AC.
The winter version of that game is the worst. I'd take days like today every time.
Been enjoying this years summer here in NW Pa. 5- 90 degree days mostly mid 80s and 65-70 nights. Would like to see more rain as the storms from the west hits Cleveland and heads N to Buffalo or S to the burgh.
Congratulations. When a major weather event happens in Iowa, the citizens of Iowa get busy and get to work rebuilding. In FLA, it's run to the govt.
It’s almost 11pm and still a heat index of 95. It’s still miserable. But Monday should bring a slight reprieve.
The conveyor belt definitely arrived in northern Iowa last night. My gawd, things exploded overnight.
3" so far here in Clayton County. Non stop since 10pm. And more's coming today and tonight.
All fueled by that hot and humid air mass to the south mentioned by OP...that was the gasoline, and the front stalling out with disturbances riding on it was the match.

Where about are you located in SE Minnesota? I’m in that area too around Rochester .
Sux butt that this heat is over the weekend and it finally cools down during the work week.
We did too, this week. 18 times in the last 6 weeks. In 6 months, I'll say the same thing about being below zero. This is all normal here. Install a good furnace with a good AC, get over it.
These are the guys who tell you the stories about how things were "tougher" when they were kids and they rode their bikes to school through waist-deep snow and it was uphill both ways.
And their bicycles had square wheels, dagnabbit.
Was out walking the pedestrian bridge between Iowa and Omaha in that heat yesterday. Heat index was 110.URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE

Not sure if anti-nicotine or a really brutal way to tell trad to stop breathing. Maybe both.
Well, the data that was posted for McCook, NE was interesting so I did the math. The avg temp for McCook, NE in July is 90.8 degrees, ranking it as one of the hottest places in the state. The average for this July was almost 4 degrees higher at 94.7. That's...ummm...anomalous.
In 2019, they had two days of 100+ weather in July with the hottest day showing 101 degrees. In 2018, there were none. In 2017 there were seven - the highest being 104. 2016 had five with the highest being 102. 2015 - three 100+ days with the hottest being 105. McCook averages 7.1 days a year with temps over 100 degrees.
This July saw twelve 100+ days - nearly double the average for the entire year - with the highest being 111 - that's pretty hot. There was a day where it hit 109. Another at 108. Another at 105. It most certainly falls well outside the "normal" range
