LocoAko Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 LMAO! Gonna be a toasty one here today me thinks. Think we have a shot at our 12th 90 of the season. Today is our 50th day this year above 90F this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Today is our 50th day this year above 90F this year. Wow that's pretty impressive. It's not even mid July yet lol. The grass is really browning up pretty good around here the last several days. Still no measurable precip in July. The weather's definitely been pretty boring, but it's been absolutely phenomenal to be outside in. There's definitely less mosquitoes around compared to normal as well which is pretty nice.

Chicago Storm Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I just saw a comment yesterday on NWS Chat that at Warren Dunes and Silver Beach, the water temp was around 70 on the 4th, but the past couple of days had dropped back into the low 50's due to upwelling. No wonder Alek is gloating about his endless days of comfortable weather. That has also been occuring along the WI shore, from MKE on north.

Pretty much the same story here... Only a T of rain in the past 12 days and only 0.35" since June 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 UKMET goes nuts with the thermal ridge and has 850 mb temps on 27C here on Monday with deep mixing through 850 mb. Not buying it at this point but we'd be in a world of hurt if that happened. Something around mid 90's looks very possible though if clouds aren't too much of an issue.

cyclone77 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Quite the difference for northwest Illinois on Monday between the new NAM and GFS. The NAM has us baking in the mid to upper 90s, with the GFS keeping us in the lower 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, get back to me when we crack 100. That's the only thing left for us to achieve back to back oppressive summers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Meh, get back to me when we crack 100. That's the only thing left for us to achieve back to back oppressive summers. UKMET would support low to mid 100's but it's probably off its rocker. Monday is shaping up to be very uncomfortable. I'm thinking peak heat indices somewhere in the 108-112 range for LAF especially with our dewpoint edge. Maybe a degree or three lower in other parts of central Indiana.

radarman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 109 in Norman and still rising... Feels good actually. Tingly hot. Probably will end up just short of the all-time record. Not sure what it is for Norman, but it's got to be close. OKC all-time record is 113 (August 11, 1936). There's what looks like a legit 114 on the mesonet in Northern OK. edit. some small scattered storms are passing S of here. Might end up preventing further rise. Talk about high bases...

brettjrob Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 It's downright scary how closely our periods of extreme temperatures have mirrored '96 this year. Feb 03 1996: -3 F Feb 10 2011: -5 F No subzero temperatures in between those dates. Jul 06 1996: 110 F Jul 09 2011: 110 F No 110+ temperatures in between those dates. Talk about fodder for analog weenies... (well crap, I'll admit I already looked at the severe wx season for the Plains in '97 earlier today).

snowstormcanuck Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Winter can wait a while. Yeah, well if I lived in a severe wx tinderbox like you I'd probably say the same thing. Let's at least fast forward to August. Maybe get a couple of tropical depression to come up through the OV. Anything besides sunny, 80, and moderate humidity day after freaking day.

Hoosier Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wow, 00z UKMET didn't back off at all from its Monday inferno. I don't really see much hope for a pleasant day here either way. If mixing is limited then we will make a run at 80 degree dewpoints. If we mix a bit deeper than currently advertised, the air temp would only be hotter/dewpoint a little lower and probably a wash on the heat index. Only real shot to thwart this is with an early thunderstorm arrival...the 00z NAM is trying but still not bringing it in here until a little after 18z.

Chicago Storm Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 BUFKIT is showing 98-99F. The 0z NAM run continued the trend... On top of the Monday heat potential, it's throwing out a 93 for tomorrow and 91 for Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is I had my first dream about snow last night since last winter. The clock is ticking. I am not ready for snow, but I am ready for baroclinic pain and synoptic bombs. Enough of death ridges. Skiing sounds good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
