Was Camp Agudah Midwest Girls actually rainier and hotter than normal during its June 24 to July 16, 2026 session in South Haven, Michigan? This episode of Weather With Enthusiasm examines observations from the nearby South Haven Regional Airport, NOAA climate normals, National Weather Service storm reports, and NOAA Lake Michigan buoy data. It compares rainfall totals and timing, temperature and dew-point thresholds, heat index, unusually cool days, severe weather, and lake-water temperatures.The statistical verdict: through departure morning, 3.20 inches of rain fell, approximately 47% above the completed-day normal, while completed days averaged 3.7°F above normal for daytime highs. The session included four 90°F days, a peak calculated heat index near 105°F, a July 3 squall line, and a 1.73-inch daytime rain event on July 5.Methodology note: July 16 observations were partial through approximately 10 a.m. EDT. Completed-calendar-day climate comparisons therefore use June 24 through July 15, while event totals extend through departure morning July 16.No camp-specific illness outbreak, private-beach connection, or attributable camper quotation was verified, so none is presented as fact.This episode contains AI-generated narration and production elements.

If your B2B sales process relies on one enthusiastic contact inside an organisation to champion your work, you are one resignation away from losing everything you have built. In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer makes the case that single champion selling is not just risky and is a strategy that actively limits the size of deal you can close and the speed at which you can close it. Jess explains the concept of multiple internal champions: who they are, why they matter, and how building relationships with three to five key people inside each target organisation transforms your lead generation, protects your pipeline, and unlocks bigger, more premium deals. This episode is essential listening for any coach, consultant, trainer, speaker, or done-for-you service provider who is serious about building sustainable B2B revenue in the second half of 2026. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone whose B2B sales process depends on a single point of contact inside each organisation Those who have experienced a deal stalling or collapsing because a key contact left, went quiet, or was unable to get internal sign-off Anyone looking to close larger deals, including retainers, licensed content, premium speaking fees, with corporate clients Service providers who want to understand why corporate decision making takes longer than expected, and how to fix it Questions This Episode Answers What is single champion selling and why is it holding back my B2B sales? What is a multiple internal champions strategy and how does it work? Why do corporate deals take so long to sign, and how do I speed up the process? What happens to my sales pipeline when my main contact leaves an organisation? How do I identify and build relationships with multiple decision makers inside the same company? Why are bigger deals harder to close with just one contact, and what should I do differently? How do proactive and passive lead generation work together to support multi-champion selling? Key Takeaways from STC179 1. Single Champion Selling Is a High-Risk Strategy Relying on one internal contact to champion your work inside an organisation is one of the most common and costly mistakes coaches and consultants make when selling to companies. Jess is direct: if that person leaves, takes sick leave, is ghosted by their colleagues, or simply lacks the internal influence to push a decision through, your entire sales process resets to zero. This is not a rare scenario. Decision makers change jobs regularly, take on new roles, or move on to organisations that feel like a better fit. The risk is not theoretical, it is a pattern Jess sees consistently in the businesses of the coaches and consultants she works with. The solution is not to find a better champion. It is to build multiple ones. 2. What a Multiple Internal Champions Strategy Actually Means Multiple internal champions is a term Jess has used since early episodes of the Selling to Corporate® podcast. It refers to the practice of building relationships with three to five people inside each target organisation, not just the primary decision maker. Importantly, not every internal champion needs to control a budget or hold formal authority over the purchasing decision. What they need is relevance: they should be people who would feel the commercial impact of your work, who sit adjacent to the decision making process, or who could provide useful context, internal support, or continuity if something goes wrong. Examples of how internal champions add value: If your main contact is unavailable, another champion can receive a follow-up or help chase a proposal If your main contact leaves, a champion can help you identify who has taken on their responsibilities For larger deals, champions can help build internal consensus before the final decision is made Different champions often have visibility over different budget pots, enabling shared budget conversations that support more premium pricing 3. The Bigger the Deal, the More Decision Makers Are Involved For deals under approximately £15,000, a single decision maker with their own allocated budget and a clear commercial case may be sufficient to sign off. Above that threshold, organisations almost always involve additional stakeholders before committing. Jess frames this plainly: if a company is spending £40,000 or $100,000 on an external supplier, it would be unusual for one person to carry that decision alone. In the same way that a business owner would consult a partner, a financial advisor, or a trusted peer before making a large investment, corporate decision makers sense-check significant spend with colleagues. If those colleagues do not know you, they will go and research alternatives. And if you are not visible when they do, you lose ground even when your proposal is strong. This connects directly to the importance of passive lead generation: if secondary decision makers search for your specialism on Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude and you do not appear, your primary champion is left doing a much harder internal sales job on your behalf. 4. Lead Generation Is the First Point of Quality Control in Your Sales Process A core principle Jess returns to in this episode is that lead generation is not just about volume, it is about qualifying correctly from the very first touchpoint. A qualified lead in the corporate space meets two specific criteria: The person is responsible for your area of specialism within the organisation The person has authority over the budget to pay you Anyone who does not meet both criteria is not a qualified lead. They may be useful to your sales process in other ways, but time spent in extended conversations with unqualified contacts is time not spent building relationships with the people who can actually say yes. Jess is clear that this distinction is not about being dismissive of relationships, it is about protecting the efficiency and effectiveness of a sales process that has to produce consistent results. Lead generation done well sets the quality of everything that follows: business development, proposals, and delivery. Weak or unqualified lead generation makes every subsequent stage harder. 5. Why Deals Appear to 'Take Ages' in the Corporate Space: and the Real Reason One of the most common complaints Jess hears from coaches and consultants new to B2B sales is that corporate deals take too long. Jess challenges this directly: in most cases, slow decision making is not a feature of corporate sales. It is a symptom of talking to the wrong people. When a service provider is speaking to someone too junior to understand the commercial relevance of what they offer, or to someone who lacks the internal influence to advance the decision, the process stalls. It is not the organisation being slow. It is the wrong entry point. The solution is not to wait longer or follow up more aggressively. It is to qualify more rigorously at the lead generation stage and to build relationships with multiple internal champions who can help navigate the real decision making process inside the organisation. 6. Both Proactive and Passive Lead Generation Are Now Essential Jess closes the episode with a clear directive for the second half of 2026: coaches and consultants need both proactive and passive lead generation working simultaneously. Neither alone is sufficient. Proactive lead generation, including cold email outreach, LinkedIn outreach, and other active methods, puts you directly in front of decision makers in a controlled, measurable way. Passive lead generation, such as being featured in curated directories and building AI search visibility, ensures that when secondary decision makers go looking for you independently, they can find you. The risk of relying solely on proactive outreach and a single champion is that when that champion tries to build internal support for your proposal, the other stakeholders who search for you find nothing. At that moment, your champion is carrying the entire weight of selling you in, with no external evidence to support their case. The Selling to Corporate® Five Step Framework The Selling to Corporate® Five Step Framework is the structured sales process Jess teaches to coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers: Step 1: Clarity: Deciding who you are selling to and what transformation you are selling them Step 2: Lead Generation: The process of identifying, targeting, and approaching qualified decision makers to generate sales calls Step 3: Business Development: Building, maintaining, and leveraging relationships so they convert to revenue Step 4: Offers and Proposals: Creating solutions that meet the client's need and articulating them in a way that closes the contract Step 5: Delivery and Resell: Delivering a great client experience and maximising revenue through upsell and resell In this episode, Jess focuses on the intersection of lead generation and business development, specifically how building multiple internal champions at the lead generation stage makes every subsequent step faster, stronger, and more resilient. Key Quotes  "If you don't have multiple internal champions at an organisation, you're going to find that sales processes stall, go back to zero, and are much more difficult to be picked up." "The bigger the deal, the more decision makers who are involved. If a company is spending £40,000 or $100,000 on something, do you honestly think they're going to have one person who just says, yeah, cool, I'll make that decision?" "Lead generation is the first point of quality control in your sales process. A qualified lead is a decision maker who is responsible for your area of specialism and has authority over the budget to pay you. Anyone else is not a decision maker."   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Expert Services Directory: Get listed and improve your AI search visibility with corporate buyers.

Sunny. No Rain. Game Delayed.The Field Science Behind the Delay at Impact Field — Chicago Dogs vs. Winnipeg Goldeyes, July 5, 2026It's sunny. The radar is clean. Not a drop of rain is falling. And the game is delayed 1 hour 45 minutes.Here's why — and why the history of this land made it almost inevitable.=== WHAT HAPPENED ===The Chicago Dogs owner addressed fans, offered refunds to everyone staying and free future tickets to anyone who left. Fans played catch on the field while the grounds crew applied calcined clay conditioner to firm up the surface. New first pitch: 4:45 PM CDT.=== THE RAINFALL DISCREPANCY ===Owner cited ~6 inches. Official NWS O'Hare CF6 record shows:- July 2: 1.64"- July 3: 1.71"- July 4 storm: ~3" at O'Hare per MWRD/NWS (after morning obs cutoff)- Month-to-date through July 4: 3.53" officialMWRD confirmed the McCook TARP system (Cook County flood control) filled 6 times this year — more than the prior 5 years combined.Local field-level measurements at Impact Field, a low-lying site, likely exceeded the airport gauge. The real total near the stadium: 3.5–6 inches over several days.=== WHY THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WASN'T ENOUGH ===Roger Bossard's celebrated drainage system handles 1 inch / 64,000 gallons on the playing surface in 20–25 minutes — from an acute single event. When the soil column is cumulatively saturated over multiple days, it reaches "field capacity" — gravity drainage stops, the subbase has no remaining capacity, and the surface loses structural support from below. The top layer looks dry. The field is sunny. But the turf will slide and give way under lateral force, creating serious injury risk.=== THE CONDITIONER ===Calcined clay (Turface MVP or Diamond Dry) — kiln-fired at ~1800°F, becomes highly porous and absorbs surface moisture rapidly. Addresses the top 2–3 inches only. Under a lake breeze, firms the surface in 45–90 minutes.=== ROSEMONT'S FLOODING HISTORY ===The Village of Rosemont incorporated in 1956 partly to address flooding. Willow Creek flooded so regularly that rowboats were a household necessity. First village president Donald Stephens made correcting flooding a founding mission. The Impact Field site sits on that same low-lying Chicago lake plain between I-294 and O'Hare.=== 2018 FLOODING AT IMPACT FIELD ===September 3, 2018 — the first season. 2.5 inches fell in 25 minutes. Fans were evacuated. Documented by Live Storms Media: "Insane CG barrage and flooding at Impact Field." This is why Bossard built what he built.=== CURRENT WEATHER (as of ~3 PM CDT) ===NWS AFD issued 1:52 PM CDT by forecaster Doom: "Latest satellite trends show no distinct signs of new development anywhere around the area — confidence to there being little to no impacts north of I-80." HRRR, GFS, ECMWF all show dry conditions at Rosemont through the evening. The 4:45 PM game should be played in sunshine.=== SOURCES ===- NWS O'Hare CF6: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=ORD&product=CF6- MWRD TARP storm update July 4: https://mwrd.org/news/1030-am-storm-update-mwrds-tarp-systems-manages-heavy-rainfall- NWS Chicago AFD: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD- Rosemont history / Willow Creek flooding: Encyclopedia of Chicago- 2018 Impact Field flooding: Live Storms Media (YouTube, Sept 3 2018)Tags: weather, Chicago Dogs, Impact Field, Rosemont, rain delay, baseball, field science, soil saturation, groundskeeping, calcined clay, Turface, NWS Chicago, flooding, Chicago historyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Game Day Weather: Impact Field, Rosemont, ILChicago Dogs vs. Winnipeg Goldeyes — Sunday, July 5, 2026 | First Pitch 3:00 PM CDTA complete meteorological breakdown of weather conditions for today's game.=== THE STADIUM ===Impact Field | 9850 Balmoral Ave, Rosemont, IL 60018Coordinates: 41.983°N, 87.874°W | ~12 miles NW of downtown Chicago=== WEATHER SUMMARY ===NWS Chicago AFD issued 12:23 PM CDT, forecaster Yack.Pattern: Baggy shortwave trough over western Great Lakes. Broad surface low over southern Lake Michigan. Very saturated low levels — dew points near 68°F (tropical threshold). IFR fog and low stratus through midday.KEY FINDING FOR ROSEMONT: Primary storm axis is near/south of the Kankakee River Valley (30-40% chance), and as a precaution north to I-80 (20-25%). Rosemont sits 20+ miles north of I-80 — in the favored DRY zone.At First Pitch (3 PM CDT):- Temperature: ~75-78°F- Dew Point: ~68°F (humid but comfortable with lake breeze)- Sky: Mostly cloudy- Wind: NNE 10-15 mph gusts to 20 mph- Precipitation Probability (Rosemont): ~20%- Severe Threat: Virtually ZERO (limited wind shear, weak instability)=== NWS TERMS EXPLAINED IN THIS EPISODE ===- Baggy shortwave trough: Diffuse, spread-out dip in the jet stream — not a focused punch- Shortwave trough: Small-scale dip in the jet stream driving rising air and weather- Surface low: Low pressure at ground level drawing air inward and upward- Very saturated low levels: Air near the surface is soaked with moisture (dew point 68°F)- Wind shear: How wind speed/direction changes with altitude — limited today = brief pulse storms only- Instability: Atmospheric fuel for thunderstorm updrafts — much weaker than heat dome days- GFS, NAM, HREF, NBM: Weather models used to generate forecast guidance- Ensemble spread: Range of solutions across multiple model runs=== IMPACT FIELD DRAINAGE — THE SECRET WEAPON ===Built in 2018 with one of the best drainage systems in minor league baseball.Can absorb 1 inch of rain (64,000 gallons) and return to playable condition in 20-25 minutes.Source: Daily Herald, 2017 pre-opening report.=== RAIN-OUT CRITERIA (American Association / Impact Field) ===Per Chicago Dogs official policy: Games will NOT be postponed before start time except in extreme circumstances.American Association umpires determine delays/postponements once game begins.Actual stoppage triggers: Standing water ≥1/4 inch in batter's box/pitcher's rubber zone, field saturation preventing cleat grip, visibility below 500 feet, OR lightning within 8 miles.Official game: 5 innings completed (4.5 if home team leads).No game: Fewer than 5 innings, cannot resume — must be replayed.=== VERDICT ===Rain-out probability at Impact Field: LOW.- Rosemont is 20+ miles north of the primary storm zone- Severe threat: Virtually zero- ~20% POP in the NWS hourly forecast (8 in 10 scenarios = no rain during game)- If a brief shower does clip the stadium, drainage allows resumption in ~25 min- Lightning within 8 miles is the most likely cause of any delay — and the storm track argues against itRECOMMENDATION: Go to the game. Bring a light rain jacket. Bring sunscreen. Wear comfortable shoes.=== SOURCES ===- NWS Chicago AFD: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD- NWS Hourly Forecast (Rosemont): https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Rosemont&state=IL&site=LOT&textField1=41.9836&textField2=-87.8742&FcstType=digital- Chicago Dogs Rain Policy: https://thechicagodogs.com/explore-impact/policies/- Impact Field Drainage: Daily Herald, September 2017- CBS Chicago morning forecast: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-weather-first-alert-weather/Tags: weather, Chicago Dogs, Impact Field, Rosemont, game day forecast, rain delay, baseball weather, NWS ChicagoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

When the Sun Lies: Shawn Hunter and the Decision That Put Players FirstEpisode 4 | Weather With Enthusiasm | July 5, 2026The sky was blue. The radar was empty. Not a cloud in sight. And Impact Field's July 5th game was canceled anyway.This is the story of antecedent soil moisture, the limits of engineering, and one owner who chose safety over revenue — twice in the same afternoon.WHAT HAPPENED:The Chicago Dogs vs. Winnipeg Goldeyes game, scheduled for 3:00 PM with a delayed start of 4:45 PM, was ultimately canceled at 5:15 PM. The infield was deemed unplayable despite completely clear skies.

Morning Briefing — Friday, July 3, 2026West Rogers Park, Chicago (ZIP 60645)Weather With Enthusiasm

Join the up coming DadAwesome ACCELERATOR Coaching Cohort: https://www.dadawesome.org/coaching   SUMMARY: What happens when two dads strap GoPros to paddleboards and hit the lake at 5:45 in the morning? In this episode, Jeff sits down with longtime friend Tyler Van Eps for a raw, reflective conversation about intentional fatherhood, family rhythms, and what it looks like to lead your kids with purpose. From milestone trips to weekly family huddles to quarterly prayer rhythms, Tyler shares the experiments his family has been running... FIVE KEY TAKEAWAYS Fatherhood moves through three distinct seasons of investment: physical, time, and emotional, and knowing which season you're in changes how you show up. A weekly family huddle built around purpose, vision, and values gives your kids a compass they will eventually use to call out greatness in each other. Milestone trips don't have to be expensive or elaborate because what your kids remember most is being pulled out of the normal lineup and seen as an individual. The goal is not to control your family's calendar but to steward it, which means learning when to add things and when to subtract them without shame. Adopting a posture of exploration in your fatherhood is far more sustainable than building rigid rules, because it invites your family into the journey with you. TOP QUOTES "Instead of being an amazing leader and a decent dad, I want to be an amazing dad and a decent leader." "Follow Jesus, live with enthusiasm, and fight for family. The fight for family came out of, hey guys, we gotta stop fighting with our family and we gotta figure out a way to fight for our family." "There has to be a surrender that's kind of fundamental to the way that you approach fatherhood and family and faith." "Soaking in the moments of peace and allowing them to be there with the assumption that disruptions are around the corner." "If I'm not a steward of the time God's given me with my kids, there are these core memories that I could just be blazing by without even realizing it." GUEST Tyler Van Eps is a husband, father of four, and Senior Vice President at the National Christian Foundation Twin Cities, where he serves families and business owners around the stewardship of generational wealth and kingdom-minded generosity. A longtime friend of the Dad Awesome community, Tyler has joined the show multiple times including a campfire conversation and a tree fort recording. He is passionate about leading with purpose, living with enthusiasm, and building a family culture rooted in faith.  LINKS Join Team Awesomeness (monthly support team) at any level from $7/month to $1000/month...

When we reflect on freedom, Scripture reminds us that true freedom is ultimately found in Christ. While earthly freedoms are worth recognizing and being thankful for, the greatest freedom we receive is the freedom Jesus provides—the freedom to worship God, share the Gospel, and live according to His truth. As we remember the history and sacrifices that shaped our nation, we can also reflect on the responsibility that comes with freedom: using it to honor God and serve others in love. Highlights: True freedom begins with the freedom Christ gives through salvation America’s founding was influenced by leaders who recognized God’s role in establishing liberty Freedom allows believers to worship, share the Gospel, and live openly for Christ Biblical freedom is not meant for selfish living but for serving others in love Remembering history invites us to thank God for those who courageously stood for freedom Join the Conversation As you reflect on 250 years of freedom as a nation, how do you see God’s hand at work throughout history?

Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” - Galatians 5:1 Our Founding Fathers were a group who believed in God, the freedom He gives each of us, and His providence in establishing the United States of America. Although debates continue over how godly each one lived and how deeply they each believed in God, they still gave us a biblical basis for our nation, one that continues today. As the first Vice President and second President of the United States, John Adams wrote on July 3, 1776, to his beloved wife, Abigail, concerning the high cost of freedom paid to create the Declaration of Independence: “You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not—I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States—Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will triumph in that Days Transaction, even although we should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.” Adams also credited the American Revolution’s success with the spiritual revival in the hearts and minds of the people that preceded it by a generation, laying the foundation for America. The spread of “The Great Awakening” across the colonies greatly influenced and strengthened Patriot leaders, leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in which prayer and fasting played a vital role in helping America establish its freedom. America is a testament of what God has done, leading America’s Founders to establish our nation and government on godly principles. These biblical truths have given us the freedom to live as followers of Jesus Christ without reserve. As Galatians 5:13 directs us, “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” The following are three freedoms that America has granted us as Christians: America gives us freedom to openly worship God. First and foremost is the freedom America gives us to worship God. It’s our highest calling as Christians, and it’s the freedom that tops all the others because it’s also fulfilling the first commandment, recorded in Matthew 22:37-38: “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” America gives us freedom to openly preach the Gospel. In America, we have this freedom, like no other country in the world. As 2 Corinthians 3:17 explains, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” America gives us the freedom to openly live as Christians. We, as Americans, have been granted the right, as citizens, to live as Christians in the freedom Jesus gave us. As Jesus assured us in John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Although we, as Americans, fought for freedom from King George and British tyranny, proclaiming independence from their harsh reign, our independence was rooted in our dependence upon Almighty God and the freedom He gives us through Jesus Christ. Adams supported the spiritual awakening in our country, calling attention to and recognizing the connection between faith in God and freedom in life, validating where true freedom originates. Miracles in American History author, historian, and speaker, William J. Federer, writes, “In defending the Declaration, Adams told the Continental Congress, July 1, 1776: ‘Live or die, survive or perish, I am for the Declaration. It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now, and Independence forever!’” Intersecting Faith & Life: As we celebrate our nation’s 250 years of freedom this July 4th, consider our founders’ faith in God and the fortitude they displayed in standing on His truth amid conflict and tyranny. Spend time thanking God for their bravery and boldness in believing that true freedom comes from Him.

Morning Briefing — Tuesday, June 30, 2026 | Heat Dome Deep-Dive, NWS Lincoln IL, Zmanim & MoreWest Rogers Park, Chicago (ZIP 60645)=== ZMANIM — Tuesday, June 30, 2026 (15 Tamuz 5786) ===Hebrew Date: 15 Tamuz 5786 | Parsha: Chukat-BalakAlos HaShachar: 3:25 AMEarliest Talis & Tefillin: 4:04 AMNetz HaChama (Sunrise): 5:18 AMLatest Krias Shma: 9:06 AMLatest Tefila: 10:22 AMChatzos: 12:54 PMEarliest Mincha: 1:32 PMShkiah (Sunset): 8:30 PM=== TOMORROW'S ZMANIM — Wednesday, July 1, 2026 ===Sunrise: 5:19 AM | Sof Zman Shma: 9:06 AM | Sof Zman Tefila: 10:22 AMChatzos: 12:54 PM | Mincha Gedola: 1:32 PM | Shkiah: 8:30 PM=== WEATHER SUMMARY ===An extreme and historic heat dome grips the Midwest today. A 596 decameter (dam) closed upper-level ridge — one of the strongest ever recorded over this region — is centered over the Ohio Valley, pumping oppressive heat and moisture into Chicago and surrounding areas. Highs in the lower 90s°F with dew points near 80°F are expected, producing heat indices of 105-110°F. An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect through Thursday.=== NWS LINCOLN IL DISCUSSION (Barnes, 5:22 AM CDT) ===596 dam closed contour heat dome over Ohio Valley — historically rare signature. NBM model running 2-4°F too warm; actual highs likely lower 90s rather than mid/upper 90s. Heat index exceeds 105°F through Thursday. SW winds gusting 25 kt.=== NWS CHICAGO LOT DISCUSSION (Ratzer, 2:02 AM CDT) ===H5 ~5960m (~596 dam). Extreme Heat Warning through Thursday. 80°F dew points observed Monday afternoon in southern CWA. Heat index 105-110°F. Lake Michigan water temps: Chicago Shore 66°F, Wilmette 62°F, Chicago Crib 61°F.=== 1995 HEATWAVE COMPARISON ===The 1995 Midwest heat wave remains the benchmark. St. Louis hit a dew point of 83°F on July 14, 1995. Appleton, WI recorded a 90°F dew point — the probable Western Hemisphere record — with a heat index of 153°F. The 1995 wet bulb temperature reached approximately 85°F (29°C). The 500mb ridge in 1995 peaked around 594-596 dam over the Great Plains; today's ridge matches or exceeds that at 596 dam over the Ohio Valley.=== CLOSED CONTOUR HEAT DOME SCIENCE ===A "closed contour" means the 500mb height lines form complete loops — no open pathways for cooler air to enter. Most heat domes do NOT produce closed contours; a closed 596 dam contour is extremely rare and represents an exceptionally locked, stagnant ridge. Not all heat domes are closed contour events.=== CORN BELT MOISTURE SCIENCE ===Corn fields act as natural evapotranspiration engines. A single mature corn plant transpires 50+ gallons of water per growing season. With millions of acres of corn in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa all in active growth phase, the atmosphere is loaded with moisture from below — supplementing Gulf of Mexico moisture streaming northward. This is why Midwest dew points can spike to 80°F+ even without direct Gulf influence.=== WET BULB / WBGT SCIENCE ===Wet bulb temperature (WB) measures what your body actually feels when sweating. At 92°F air temp with 80°F dew point, the wet bulb approaches 84-85°F — near the physiological survivability limit for even healthy adults with shade and hydration. Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) adds solar radiation load; WBGT >32°C (89.6°F) is considered the military/OSHA "extreme danger" threshold.=== ORTHODOX COMMUNITY FORECASTS ===• St. Louis, MO: Mid-upper 90s, heat index 100-110°F. Extreme Heat Warning through Friday. NWS LSX.• Lakewood, NJ: Low-mid 90s, heat index 98-105°F. NWS PHI.• Borough Park, Brooklyn NY: Upper 80s-low 90s, humid. Heat Advisory. NWS OKX.• Baltimore, MD: Lower 90s, heat index 100-107°F. NWS LWX.• Philadelphia, PA: Lower-mid 90s, heat index 100-108°F. Heat Warning.• Atlantic City, NJ: Upper 80s-low 90s, sea breeze influence moderate.=== ISRAEL & DEAD SEA ===Jerusalem: 40-43°C (104-109°F), typical summer ridge. Low humidity (15-25%). Dead Sea: air temps 40-47°C; water temp ~31°C (88°F). Record at Sedom: 51°C. Mediterranean sea breeze provides relief to coastal Tel Aviv but Jerusalem's inland elevation (~750-800m) retains heat without sea-breeze relief.=== INDIA EXTREME HEAT / WORLD RECORD DEW POINTS ===India's Gangetic Plain and Rajasthan experience dew points of 85-90°F during peak monsoon onset with heat indices routinely above 130°F. The probable world record dew point: 95°F (35°C) at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia on July 8, 2003, with an air temp of 108°F (42°C) — producing a heat index of approximately 172°F.=== NAM vs GFS MODEL ACCURACY ===NAM (North American Mesoscale): Higher resolution (3-km), better at capturing local dew point pooling and mesoscale details. GFS: Global model, coarser, tends to underestimate extreme dew point events in the corn belt. For this event, NAM dew point forecasts of 78-82°F appear more accurate than GFS's 74-76°F projections.=== EPISODE FOOTER ===Morning forecasts air at 7 AM every day on Spreaker.

When you hear the word enthusiasm, what comes to mind? Most of us think of energy, excitement, or passion. But the word originally meant something entirely different. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek words en theos — "God within."In this final episode of the Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence series, we're exploring what it means to stay connected to the source rather than striving to create more energy on our own. We'll talk about reverence, abiding, and why the fire often fades, not because we stop loving God, but because familiarity quietly replaces awe. If you've felt like you're pushing harder than you should have to, this conversation may help you discover whether it's time to stop striving and reconnect with the One who sustains the fire.SOMETHING IS COMING IN JULY: Clear the Static is a free 4-week challenge starting July 6. It is for women who are ready to clear the daily noise and lead from what God is actually saying. Join us here: https://vibrant-living.myflodesk.com/clearthestatic https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

How do you keep a group of teenagers engaged or turn a repetitive boot drill into the highlight of a student's day? In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas talks with Keith Rodney—Chair of the National Children's Task Force and US Telemark Team member—about his 32 Degrees article, "The Fun Starts with You." Keith challenges the traditional idea of "forcing" fun for students, suggesting instead that instructors should focus on making the environment enjoyable for themselves first. Keith explains how this shift in perspective leads to authentic enthusiasm that students can sense immediately. We dive into the CAP (Cognitive, Affective, Physical) model as a developmental lens, the "Empathy Pivot" for managing fear vs. exhilaration, and why "Professional Competency" is at the heart of purposeful play. Whether you are a new instructor or a seasoned pro, this conversation provides a roadmap for using your own passion to build trust and deeper connections on the snow. In this episode, we discuss: - Why forcing a fun environment often falls flat with students. - Using the CAP model to adjust your approach based on individual development. - The "Empathy Pivot": Distinguishing between exhilarating excitement and paralyzing fear. - Why teenagers and kids can see right through a "fake" teaching persona. - Managing the emotional environment to build lasting trust with your group. Read the full article in the Winter 2026 issue of 32 Degrees magazine.

HT2659 - Perfection or Enthusiasm Deep in the heart of an artist is the pursuit of perfection. It goes with the territory. Creating artwork is the one thing we do in our life without regard to time, expense, or even effort. We pursue perfection because we have faith that achieving perfection is a possibility with each creation we make. Is it? I'm not sure pursuit of perfection is the healthiest option. What if we change the measurement of success? What happens if we pursue enthusiasm, curiosity, and passion rather than perfection?
