Chicago Storm Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Made it up to 91 here at White Pines today, with dews in the low-mid 70's all day. Had a small line of storms this afternoon with frequent cg's. Still sitting at 80/72 currently. Tent sleeping ftl. Hit 90+ for the 11th time this season back home.

Stebo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Still a sultry 78/71 right now at KDTW, as a matter of fact the dewpoint has been creeping up since I came in. Was 67 when I first arrived at quarter to Midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Still 87 in St. Louis. They might not drop below 84 or 85 at this rate. Odds are rapidly increasing that we see upper 90's here and what was once a small probability scenario of reaching 100 looks like it has a fighting chance. Will have to make sure that cloud debris won't be an issue but low level thermal fields/mixing off the RUC and the newest run of the HRRR both support highs in the upper 90's to near 100. I expect local heat indices in western Indiana to top out in the 112-117 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Their record high min for July is 86 but I'm not sure what date that was set. 7/24/1901 Looks like 85 was the low for STL, so no all time July record. The record high for today is 106 set in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 78/71 here at 7AM. Today is going to suck. We went up 15 degrees between 7 and 11 AM yesterday. First look at visible satellite shows that we should have completely unobstructed sun at least for a couple hours. Then we may have to deal with some blowoff from the convection in IL but still a bit hard to say how much of a problem that may be. I mean, I don't expect it to hold us down too much but everything matters when you're trying to shoot for the century mark. I went back and looked at 7/13/95 and 7/30/99...a couple of our really hot days which also had very high low level moisture. We started off pretty similar to where we're at right now...one day had a high of 99 and the other 100 and both had dewpoints in the upper 70's/low 80's. My brain says to not call for 100 since it hasn't happened in 12 years and we still don't know the exact details about the cloud situation but it is definitely not out of the question. I'd probably go with 98 or something for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on this a little, 86 is the all time record high min for STL. Matter of fact, their second highest high min record is 85 set on 8/19/1936.

LizardMafia Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 78/71 here at 7AM. Today is going to suck. No doubt about that. I knew when I opened the back door this morning to let the dogs out it felt pretty warm already. Going to look at my pics back from this past winter snow and think of how chilly it was back then..

I don't like it obviously, but it's going to be hot as hell anyway so 98 or 99 would be a "disappointment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he's exactly calling for it, but he thinks we get close. I for one would gladly take a thunderstorm or two though instead...don't get me wrong.

Powerball Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Looks like things are playing out exactly as I feared yesterday. 83*F now at Metro and 84*F at City with cloud debris from the weakening MCS moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was outside about 30 minutes ago, absolutely nasty outside. I love warm weather, but this is a little over the top. Pretty crazy how the dewpoint has just jumped over the last 3 hours..

Pretty crazy how the dewpoint has just jumped over the last 3 hours.. It's a lot over the top. The humidity is just stifling. I mean I can take temps in the 90's but dewpoints approaching 80 are just stupid. Speaking of, Grissom checking in with a 80 dew at 10AM. LAF fails again.

I think I will be sitting in the 69F server room this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
