Chicago Storm Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Creeping west.... Looks like this small E/W line just offshore from Waukegan might clip Gary as it heads south-southeast. Also some elevated looking towering CU off to my northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I don't want to think about what 91/81 or 95/77 feel like. Those are a couple readings in and around the Des Moines area. 100 degree HIs were difficult to bear in the early June heatwave. This heat "day" will be .

wisconsinwx Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Per radar I can tell an outflow boundary just moved through much of SE Wisconsin, which would explain our comfortable 72F here right now, while areas just to the west are baking in the upper 80s and 90s.

Hoosier Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 MOS saying Saturday will be the hotter day of the two for LAF. We'll see. Here's the Friday and Saturday high temps from all three. 0z MEX: 90, 91 6z MAV: 90, 94 0z MET: 88, 93 Latest NWS forecast for LAF Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 90. South southwest wind between 7 and 13 mph. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 70. Southwest wind between 7 and 10 mph. Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 95. West southwest wind between 7 and 9 mph. Saturday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 89. Yeah I think Saturday will be hotter as long as we hold off the clouds/storms long enough. Low levels look a bit warmer with better mixing compared to Friday. Mid to possibly upper 90's if we get enough sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nice trough Beauty. Sticks around a few days too per the 12z Euro. La la land though. Decent lightning show here as we get the sloppy seconds from the storms up north. Sorta like LES for LAF, though we did have a good downpour a little while ago.

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 It's a whole other world out here on the western end of the state. You'd never know storms are raging to the east. Had crystal clear skies all day as we were fully capped off. Still pretty warm late this evening. Should make it to 95-97 tomorrow with dews making a run at 80. Wouldn't be surprised if we breach the 110 degree mark on the heat index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Always nice to wake up to thunderstorms. The heaviest have been focused just to our NW this morning, but we've been in and out of "light" t'storms here. Also poking a little fun at our local TV weather guy, he of course is calling for the hottest summer known, with an average temp of 80.1º for JJA. He also did a precip forecast, calling for 7.53" for JJA for LAF. Through 8AM this morning, 6.66" has been recorded since 6/1 at LAF. Better dry out quickly.

A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 LOT knocked me down to 95 today and I think even that will be tough, very pleasent outside right now. I think we hang around 92-93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Lots of clouds over eastern Iowa up into southern Wisconsin. Not moving very fast on satellite, so I'm wondering if this could keep our temps down a bit today. The more conservative approach from DVN this week looks like it may have been the best way to go.

Yeah he was alright, better than Mr Evans no doubt. But it is small market TV. I believe he's in Florida now and still has a blog. I remember finding it after the Groundhog's Day storm where he called for a historic ice storm for the LAF area. Oops.

Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Clouds and returns starting to build into the Chicago area, starting to think 90 might not happen. Skilling going with 98º for the high today. So you're saying take the under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Skilling going with 98º for the high today. So you're saying take the under? I guess so, i'm sure we clear out by mid day, but it's still pretty damn comfortable out there, going to have to shoot up like crazy to hit 98. Wouldn't be surprised if the lake front is held around 89/90 but I'll ride 92-93 to be safe. New convection firing east of Waukegan should slide into downtown.

OHSnow Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 And lets keep it that way. They can have the cloud debris. I don't know. It's been really dry in Toledo... all the lawns are browning. Only a half-inch of rain last month, with several 90+ days helping to dry things out. Without clouds, should be back in the 90s today. Was 89 at TOL and 91 at TDZ yesterday with low humidity. So I definitely think it would be nice to get some rain over the SE Michigan area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
