ksstormhunter Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 @12:24PM EDT, Seeing a couple of severe thunderstorms just west of the Chicago area. Pretty unstable indices across this region. LI's are around -12, SFC CAPE around 3,100 j/kg, and the 0-3KM ML CAPE around 78 j/kg. Seeing potential for hail up to 1.5" and wind gusts up to 60mph as it looks like the storms are heading through the Chicago area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian Express Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I do not like the heat, it seems you just can't escape it....give me winter. You're either in the water....or in A/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 already 89F here in eden prairie at 9:53am... 7 degrees ahead of yesterday's pace (which topped out at 96F) i'd say decent chance we hit the century mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnweather Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 No doubt it would be impressive, I will be close to hitting 90 today. Just need the sun to come out and wind to switch, that should happen early this PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I am not missing the heat one bit. Today was in the 60s in Alaska and it felt glorious. It is amazing how sunny and mid 60s can still feel quite warm at this latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Currently at 106 in Des Moines/West Des Moines. Feels like my face aimed at a hair dryer. Thank god this streak of upper 90/100+ degree days is ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 GFS seems to consistently be progging a s/w ejecting east-northeastward out of the Four Corners towards the end of next week, with a decent amount of moisture available, via several days of LL flow out of the Gulf. The Euro recently jumped on board as well. It remains to be seen if the Gulf Coast high pressure will allow as much of a moisture transport as is currently being progged.

nwburbschaser Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I had been noticing on the last few runs that there were signs of decent moisture coming out of the gulf for the first time in a while. It is very far out, but signs had been pointing to something in the Oct 12-16th range for the last few days, and it's at least something interesting to keep an eye on.

Been glancing at this the past few days and just finally thought it worth mentioning tonight, as the timeframe of interest has moved into the 168-hour range. The 06/00z GFS verbatim looks rather impressive (seasonally speaking, of course) for the Southern Plains next Friday. The broad pattern doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that mid-upper 60s surface dew points will be a reality, though. Still, that Four Corners track really grabs my attention any time I see it.

baroclinic_instability Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Very interesting potential event. These cutoff upper lows are such a pain. Just as wave phasing so difficult for models to handle...the "kicking out" of cutoffs equally challenging. Upper block breakdown crucial to timing as well. I would favor slowest solutions at this juncture. If this comes out too fast, low level return flow trajectories will not be sufficient for anything impressive.

Noticed this exactly, the longer it waits to eject out the better off the potential could be as the high along the Gulf Coast will be able to move East enough to allow for sufficient return flow.

MnWeatherman Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 This sure would be a treat, regarding how this summer has been. ECMWF and GFS are back together, hopefully they don't break up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Eoro is a lot colder than the 12z GFS. Threat would be more supressed. The old GFS was too progressive with almost every southern stream shortwave in the medium range. Moisture return maybe a problem if the low is as far NW as the 12z GFS.
