Chicago Storm Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It is being discussed, but however it shakes out Powerball will still be in the same region that LAF folks post in. Right now we are discussing a Plains/Intermountain W region on its own. Get rid of him and a few others...problem solved. If what your suggesting occurs, the problems will still exist until the sources are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 How about we do everyone a favor and axe powerball Get rid of him and a few others...problem solved. If what your suggesting occurs, the problems will still exist until the sources are gone. The main reason it would possibly be done is simply due to the geographical/weather/climate differences. It is difficult if not impossible for the plains region to grow with the overall dominance of the Great Lakes posting crew. We already have too many broken up regions in central/western, and it just doesn't make sense to have the plains coupled with the Great Lakes. I don't necessarily want to do it, but it would possibly help growth of the plains region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I understand this, but since we are doing a little housework, wouldn't hurt to axe a few people, torchartie wouldnt hurt to be axed too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all true, which is why that change (if it occurs) is something I would support. ...Especially during severe weather season. The issue is there would still be an issue in the Great Lakes threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 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? Data for DP sites for level2 is already avaliable through GRLevelX, but for an additional fee of $125. The last I heard any news on level3 was back in March, and the news was that we won't see anything for quite a while. Currently there are only three sites transmitting DP data, KVNX (Vance AFB, OK) and KIWA (Phoenix, AZ), and KMHX (Morehead City, NC). So at this point we're not really missing out on anything.

Trent Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I don't get the hype over the whole 90 thing in the first place. A high of 86 with a high dewpoint is worse than a high of 90 and a low dewpoint. I guess since Lima has hit 90 or 91 3/4 days should make me feel special. 90 is just an arbitrary number, but gets hyped for its evenness. Do people in Canada get worked up over whether it hit 32.2c, our 90f, or do they consider 30c instead to be the benchmark? Which of course is an even more arbitrary 86f in the states.

OHSnow Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Another 90+ in Toledo... 5 out of 6 days now in July. Detroit stuck at 89 again so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 lol. Anyways, getting back to discussing the topic at hand (weather). both airports are at 88*F now. Maybe today we can get a 90*F, especially with a deep WNW flow and full sunshine (then increased mixing from the cold front). Some instability is out there (1000+ J/KG and LI's of -4) with a weak cold front passing through, so maybe a few t'storms will develop too. There were a few heavy rain showers around midday in Monroe County and around Toledo along the pre-frontal trough, but tehy've since moved east/diminished.

Tropical Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 So far through July 5th ... MKE: +6.4 ORD: +7.2 DTW: +6.3 MSP: +6.8 NAEFS has been very good in the 8-14 day range last year and so far this year. Check this out: More reliable info ... they were spot on last summer. I think we've turned the corner and the below normal months will be a thing of the past for awhile. July, August and September could particularly roast here in the Midwest/Lakes.

OHSnow Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 NAEFS looks very similar to the CPC 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks -- both of which show warmer than normal temps for much of the eastern half of the country, with cooler than normal conditions confined to the west coast and parts of Alaska. I also think you're right about turning the corner towards some warmer times. So far through July 5th ... MKE: +6.4 ORD: +7.2 DTW: +6.3 MSP: +6.8 [sNIP] I think we've turned the corner and the below normal months will be a thing of the past for awhile.

Thundersnow12 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 DVN THIS WEEKEND...THIS IS WHEN THE SUMMER HEAT AND HUMIDITY RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE. HEIGHTS RISE A BIT ALLOWING FOR A HOT AND CAPPED ATMOSPHERE TO PUSH NORTHWARD INTO MUCH OF THE CWA. STILL BELIEVE THAT ANY MCS ACTIVITY RIDING THE EDGE OF THE CAP IN THE ZONAL FLOW WILL REMAIN IN MN AND WI WHERE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A DERECHO. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS SITUATION FOR ANY CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS THAT COULD MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN CWA. SATURDAY WE WILL START TO FEEL THE HUMIDITY AS DEWPOINTS RISE INTO THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S WITH MAX TEMPS WELL INTO THE 80S. SUNDAY...BARRING ANY INTERFERENCE FROM A NEARBY MCS THIS SHOULD BE THE HOTTEST DAY OVER ALL THE CWA. WITH EVAPOTRANSPIRATION FROM A JULY CORN CROP DEWPOINTS WILL BE RISING INTO THE OPPRESSIVE LEVEL IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. WITH MAX TEMPS AT LEAST IN THE LOWER 90S HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REACH 100-106 WITH HEAT ADVISORY HEADLINES EVENTUALLY NEEDED. IF WE END UP TOTALLY SUNNY ON SUNDAY THEN MAX TEMPS WOULD MAKE MID 90S IN MANY LOCATIONS. SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THIS IS THE TIME FRAME WHEN THINGS GET TRICKY. A SOMEWHAT STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING OUT OF CANADA AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES. EXACTLY WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL WILL HAVE BIG IMPACTS ON TEMPERATURES...DEWPOINTS AND WHERE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES WILL TAKE PLACE. POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER BUT A TOUGH CALL THIS FAR OUT IF THIS WILL OCCUR IN THE DVN CWA. THE CURRENT THINKING IS THE COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO OUR NE CWA...WHILE THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS REMAIN IN OUR SW CWA. WILL ALSO HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR THIS ENTIRE PERIOD. FOR NOW WILL CONFINE THE HOT/HUMID WEATHER IN OUR SOUTHERN CWA WHERE HEAT INDEX VALUES AGAIN WILL BE IN THE 100-105 RANGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Just to ask a question as well. why does Canada and the US use different methods in measuring the humidex? our thresholds for heat warnings are pretty close (obviously dependent on location).just the way we measure is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Does anyone know when the 1981-2010 normals start getting used? Like when you look at the F6 for July, are the departures going to be based on 1971-2000 or 1981-2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 90 at Toledo and 94 at Metcalf Field. Last 6 days at TOL: 89, 91, 98, 90, 88, 90 [average 91.0] and at TDZ: 92, 95, 100, 94, 88, 94 [average 93.8]. TDZ with another 95+ day, topping out at 96*, while TOL hit 93. On the bright side CLE is only going with low 80s tomorrow... finally some relief from this persistent heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
