Chicago WX Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes. Carry on. Getting some drops. Might not even be as many as earlier. I'm hearing thunder, so that's good. No rain here though, the 19 drops from earlier may be all she wrote at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Actually may have squeaked out 120 if we made it to 96 with the 82 dewpoint. Nope, 95 for the high. Tied for the second hottest temp this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current radar makes me sad. Storms about 2 miles south of LAF if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Current radar makes me sad. Storms about 2 miles south of LAF if that. Close but no cigar. I had 3 brief downpours though, being on the east end of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's just miserable here in Murray. It hit 97 and the dew-point was 80. It felt like 113 at the worst part of the day. I'm ready for that first August cold front that brings some 70's for a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm holding out a little hope of maybe some rain. But looks like it's going to slide east of me. Can hear the rumbling and the clouds look really interesting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 CPC strongly indicating more above normal temps for the entire country in the long range, except for south Florida and the west coast. 80%+ chance of above normal in the Great Lakes days 6-10, with a large area of 60%+ encompassing much of the country. 8-14 day also shows high chances of heat. The NOAA hazards assessment is also indicating a large area of extreme heat from the Dakotas and southern MN all the way to Texas for the July 14 through 18th timeframe.

I'm ready for that first August cold front that brings some 70's for a high. Maybe by the end of August, if you're lucky. But I don't see this summer going down without a fight -- hot summers rarely seem to go away with a whimper. So I suspect the worst is still to come later this month and in early/mid August.

MichiganLion Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Dewpoint hit 80 today in Cincinnati. (for that matter, it's STILL 80 at 11 PM) Local TV just said (I find this slightly hard to believe, but it's true) today was only the FOURTH time CInci has had an 80 dewpoint in the last 81 years. Lots of distant lightning to the north and east ..... but we're going to miss that chance of relief. Decent chance at a low of 80+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewpoint just free-fell from 80 where I am to 66 in an hour as a outflow boundary came by. Will see if that makes it out to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Made it into the mid-upper 80's with low 70 dp's here at White Pines... The morning derecho that featured 60mph+ winds, which knocked down numerous tree's, tree branches, flattened corn, and caused numerous power outages. Back home it made it into the upper 80's. The derecho also hit there with much of the same...60mph or so winds, tree branches down, and power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Didn't get a drop of rain last night, did get a nice lightning display. Really was amazed how fast the storms fell apart as they moved S of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Another cool and beautiful stretch of weather on tap. I could get used to this pattern...a string of nice days followed by intense action, rinse, wash and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Feel pretty good about my July outlook so far. Took a lot of flak for it, but it looks pretty good to me. And we're now more than a third of the way through the month, with long-range outlooks indicating continued heat lasting at least until the last 10 days of the month.

Ed Lizard Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I don't see the Texas Gulf Coast reaching 150% normal rainfall, barring something big from the tropics, which doesn't seem at all imminent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 We've been fretting on the Mid-Atlantic board about next week's possible heat, but you guys would bear the brunt of it. Can't be too often that the 594 line makes it to the Canadian border in the northern plains. 12z GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastFromTheEast Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Might need a sweater or light jacket tomorrow with highs only in the low '70s. Absolutely Even out here in the burbs it'l probably only get into the mid 70's, gonna feel noicee.. North Shore might not even make it out of the 60's with the Full Fetch NE wind.. Damn I just checked your point and click forecast. I wish I lived by the lake during summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 65º dewpoint>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>82º dewpoint.

Stebo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Just cracked 90 at KDTW, I believe this is 9 so far. Even taking the number of 90s out of the equation it has been overall a very warm July so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
