hawkeye_wx Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It had really been getting dry here and this early week it was looking good for some widespread decent to good rain across Iowa, but all we have received is about 0.60". I was hoping for more(for the garden) ahead of the upcoming big heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Card Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Summer Beau, Is this suggesting a drier pattern as well? Lawn has turned really brown, and the heat was intense in STL the past 2 days...wow, just got back from there and the himidity together I swear breathing was a chore. Crap with all that rain they have had basically all spring and summer, the humidity was crazy. Also Missisppii river raging very high and fast!

The_Global_Warmer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Models develop a MASSIVE RIDGE by day 4-5. It sits around a while. When it breaks down, the super warm 850s come rushing East. we will all toast with this. Thousands of miles of land will reach 100F everyday with this.

The_Global_Warmer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 GFS has most of us 80f+ surface DPs some country places between STL and Chicago cracking 85F unreal. with highs in the upper 90s to 100F. If not higher given the expansive ridge that forms literally over STL in one day. BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Euro is pretty silly hot. Could have 6 or 7 days in a row of upper 90's and 100's in WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Looking forward to barely cracking 70 today, the cool summer continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Going to enjoy the 2-3 day break in heat and humidity here. Then I'm stocking up on baby powder for the next onslaught. Really looking forward to October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not higher given the expansive ridge that forms literally over STL in one day. BOOM! GFS has a bit of a high dewpoint bias, especially in the extended...well as far as my local research is involved anyway. Granted it's going to be sticky...and hot, but I doubt we'll be seeing days and days of 85º dewpoints. At least I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 2 ahead of the pace at LAF this year when compared to last year with respect to 90º+ days. 2010: 9 2011: 11 70º+ dewpoint days still lagging a bit though. 2010: 28 2011: 22 Side note: Only seven days last July didn't have a 70º+ dewpoint.

wisconsinwx Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Euro is pretty silly hot. Could have 6 or 7 days in a row of upper 90's and 100's in WI. The irony is I'm rooting for the Euro to be right b/c it sounds like it's the only model that keeps the baroclinic zone in our area but slightly delays the heat. Regardless of any delay, it sounds like this potential heat wave will be for REAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Not looking forward to the heat wave.... GFS made me cry... No relief until the 25th of the month? Hopefully that's not right. And then it's back to it by the 28th. I can't wait until October.... seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kab2791 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 12Z Euro bringing T850s of 25+ over the GL area next week. GRR is mentioning the possibility of Excessive Heat Warning Criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 12Z Euro bringing T850s of 25+ over the GL area next week. GRR is mentioning the possibility of Excessive Heat Warning Criteria. Is this going to be a 2-3 day heat wave like they usually are? Haven't had a chance to look at any models due to work. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Got back from my camping trip a little while ago. Besides a brief storm on Sunday evening, the early Monday morning derecho (which made things interesting), and another period of rain last evening...it was a pretty good trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 No, this could possibly be a 5-6 day heatwave. Is this going to be a 2-3 day heat wave like they usually are? Haven't had a chance to look at any models due to work. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 No, this could possibly be a 5-6 day heatwave. Hopefully the excessive heat wont make this far NE. Probably wont escape the humidity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 LOT mentioning possible excessive heat warnings for next week... SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL WARM A BIT MORE SUNDAY WITH H85 READINGS OF 20-22 C STILL EXPECTED. LOW TO MID 90S ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD WITH THE ECMWF ADVERTISING H85 TEMPS WARMING A FEW MORE DEGREES BY TUESDAY WITH THE 12Z GFS NOW SHOWING SIMILAR. MID 70S DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE AND WITH THE INCREASED TEMPS HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE IN THE 105-110 RANGE FOR MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITH POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS DUE TO THE PROLONGED DURATION. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED TO THE SOUTH WITH A LIGHT WEST TO SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW WHICH MAY BE WEAK ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR LAKE BREEZE DEVELOPMENT WHICH WOULD HELP COOL LAKESHORE AREAS...AT LEAST SLIGHTLY. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY BUT CONVECTIVE CHANCES ARE NOT ZERO. THE AREA WILL BE ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE HOTTEST AIR AND DO EXPECT IT TO BE CAPPED BUT TRAJECTORY OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW WOULD SUPPORT MCS REMNANTS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD BUT RIGHT NOW FEEL THE ODDS ARE BETTER THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN AT LEAST JUST TO THE EAST OF THE AREA.

kab2791 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Interestingly, Euro shows max temps of 100+ in parts of MI (Like Saginaw, Gaylord) on Thursday taken verbatim. Same is true for MKE.
