The Comprehensive Climate Index (CCI) is a weather variable composite index that combines air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation. The CCI is typically presented as either a no-shade or shade option, which attempts to better account for the cooling effect of having shade available, which is something unaccounted for by more traditional indices like heat index. The featured map presents a grid calculation based on NOAA HRRR model data valid 3 PM Tuesday. The index is typically shown within the ranges found in the legend. So a number of locations yesterday were shown in the severe category for CCI. Look for more IEM tooling to come to show various CCI statistics and climatologies.
