OHSnow Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Wunderground shows DTW up to 99 as of 5:13 PM. I think that would beat the record of 98 from 1911. The 98 at TOL also beats the record of 97, set in 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Topped out at 92 here, with a peak dew point of 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Seems like the Dew points have been lower around KDTW, possibly allowing the slight boost in temps to 99F. Hally Vogel of WXYZ confirms DTW broke a record with 99F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Dewpoint has dipped back to 77 here. Prospects for reaching 80 not looking very good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hit 90 here but even at the highest point the humidity was nothing compared to yesterday. Dews dropping again after 2nd frontal passage. Dew down to 68 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Dewpoint has dipped back to 77 here. Prospects for reaching 80 not looking very good now. We're failures. Also in the temp department as well, looks like somewhere in the 91-93º range for the high. Hopefully the storms developing to the west of here in E IL make it (and/or the line fills in).

Chicago WX Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 LAF wins today for central Indiana high temps. Kinda ho hum anyway. BMG: 89º IND: 90º MIE: 91º HUF: 91º LAF: 92º Looks like near misses for us tonight with the line of storms in northern IN missing just to the north, and a few renegades to our west that will miss south...effectively splitting the uprights.

cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Just an FYI... KLOT is scheduled for Dule Pole Radar installation from October 17-30th. When are we gonna be able to see the dual-pole available through Allisonhouse and other venues? I'm not all that familiar with DP, but from the little of looking around that I've done it's not available yet to the public. Maybe I'm missing something?

IWXwx Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Probably going to see a rather dramatic and rapid rise on the Wabash River overnight. Part of the basin really got hammered this evening. The rapid rise will be short-lived. The storms really died out just as they reached our area. The Upper Wabash, Mississinewa, and Salamonie river basins received very little rain. Only a trace here. From Wabash on southwest to the LAF area got hit hard though. But it was a great lightning show as the dying storms moved overhead. There was some scattered wind damage from the gust front/outflow in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
