As long as I have electricity and AC to retreat to, I'd much rather have this than the gray/chill/winds of winter and early spring that drag on entirely too long in northern Ohio. The older I get, the more seasonal depression affects me each year when February and March roll around. The flip-flopping of things in April-May can make it even worse sometimes. I'm gonna enjoy the heat and sun while we got it without complaining! I'd rather strip down/be out in the sun/jump in a pool than layer-up/shiver/be in the dark any day (major snowstorms now and again notwithstanding)!

I'm exactly the opposite.  This is worse than the coldest days of winter.  I flip houses for living so at times there is no AC or heat.  I can always warm up on a cold day with extra layers or activity.  But without AC it's tough to cool down once you're overheated, especially if you're hanging drywall or demoing a kitchen.  And the older I get the less I can handle the heat.

Moderate risk for tornadoes and wind...

 Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1200 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022

   Valid 151630Z - 161200Z

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
   AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND FAR NORTHEAST IOWA/SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
   SOUTHEAST/MID-ATLANTIC/NORTHEAST STATES...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon into
   tonight across parts of the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes.
   Several tornadoes, large to very large hail, and damaging winds all
   appear likely. Some of the tornadoes could be strong.

   ...Upper Midwest including Wisconsin/Iowa/Upper Michigan...
   A regional outbreak of severe storms is expected this afternoon and
   evening, particularly across eastern Iowa/far southeast Minnesota
   into southern/central/eastern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Aside
   from large hail, this includes the potential for tornadoes, some of
   which may be strong, along with a focused corridor of appreciable
   damaging wind potential.

   Related to a decayed overnight MCS, morning surface analysis shows a
   precipitation-reinforced semi-stalled boundary extending from
   west/central Iowa into southwest/central Wisconsin, with some
   persistent precipitation and a few stronger storms/differential
   heating reinforcing this boundary. A notable upper trough over the
   northern Plains will influence the region particularly later today
   into tonight with increasing large-scale forcing for ascent and
   strengthening deep-layer southwesterly winds. Modest surface
   cyclogenesis is expected along the southwest/northeast-oriented
   boundary, with the gradually deepening wave expected to help
   maintain an easterly component to the near-surface winds.

   Surface dewpoints in the lower 70s F and steep mid-level lapse rates
   will yield MLCAPE values of 3000+ J/kg especially from eastern Iowa
   into much of central/southern Wisconsin. Strong deep-layer shear and
   large hodographs will promote supercells capable of very large hail
   and a few tornadoes during the first several hours of surface-based
   initiation. A few of the tornadoes could be strong (EF2+), although
   there are some mode-related uncertainties over time. Storms are
   likely to trend upscale across interior parts (central/southern) of
   Wisconsin with damaging wind potential appreciably increasing.
   Storms will move into Lower Michigan and northern Illinois after
   sunset, with a continued risk of locally damaging wind gusts
   persisting, potentially as far east as Lower Michigan and northern
   Indiana. 

   ...Southeast/Mid-Atlantic/Northeast States...
   A hot and humid low-level air mass is in place today from the
   central/northern Appalachians and interior Carolinas southwestward
   into Mississippi/Alabama, with widespread temperatures in the 90s
   and dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s. This will result in
   MLCAPE values over 3000 J/kg and steep low-level lapse rates
   throughout the region. The details of the timing and location of
   convective development remains uncertain even in the short-term, but
   multiple corridors of storms may unfold this afternoon into tonight
   on the periphery of the southern Appalachians-centered upper-level
   ridge. Sufficiently strong northeasterly flow aloft will aid in
   southwestward-propagating clusters capable of strong/damaging wind
   gusts. A conditional severe risk will exist as far north as
   west-central Pennsylvania and western New York today near the front.
   Several models also imply the potential for late-night MCS
   development centered across southern New York/west-central
   Pennsylvania into Maryland.

I'm a landscaper by trade. I spend 10-14hrs outside all day, so I've been through some tough summers. Last year was particularly brutal. Lots of days where DP was above 68. Makes for some long days for sure. I'm pretty sure I've helped a few sunscreen companies stay in business! 

I can do the heat, but the humidity is what kills me. Im still pretty young, and most of my background is in construction/roofing. It takes a special breed to be able to handle the summers lately. That being said,  each year passes and I find it harder to tolerate the heat like I used to.   

If I could work in 75-80° year round with low humidity that'd be my dream! Guess I'm in the wrong location! But I completely agree with the drawn out winters lingering well into spring. Definitely don't care for that!

I honestly wasn't expecting probabilities like these lol, models have been underwhelming lately.... that being said their accuracy has also been incredibly underwhelming as of the last few storms so, maybe that was a good call lol

I mean, there'll likely be embedded supercells or mesovortices in the line so that should be good for at least some tornadoes. I'm just not sure about the magnitude of the tornado threat. Looks messy. But the probabilities in the tornado watch could still verify if there's no semi-discrete supercells

Interesting evolution so far. Clearly started out wanting to be supercellular, kinda bowed out a bit, and now definitely back to looking supercellular

Definitely a little strange looking, looks like a little cell rode up it and at the same time the radar was kind of glitching.

   Mesoscale Discussion 1177
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0319 PM CDT Wed Jun 15 2022

   Areas affected...portions of western/central  WI

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 371...

   Valid 152019Z - 152145Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 371 continues.

   SUMMARY...Increasing potential for tornadoes and large hail expected
   in a corridor across west-central into central WI over the next
   couple of hours.

   DISCUSSION...Initially messy convection developing along and just
   ahead of the surface cold front across northeast IA and western WI
   is showing signs of organization over the last 15-30 minutes. This
   activity is moving into a corridor of backed low-level surface
   winds. Increasing rotation aloft has been noted in KARX data and
   this trend may continue with eastward extent over the next couple of
   hours. Latest VWP data from KARX continues to show an enlarged,
   favorably curved low-level hodograph with 0-1 SRH values now around
   250-300 m2/s2 as low-level flow has increased somewhat over the last
   couple of hours. As convection encounters this corridor of more
   favorable low-level shear within a strongly unstable environment, an
   increase in tornado potential as well as large hail is expected.
