Powerball Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 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. We may get some tomorrow, after another sunny/hot day. I just want to enjoy our sunshine (which we know is at a premium) right now. We'll be back into the stratocumulus regime come September/October.

A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 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. LOT has knocked back lakefront temps to 93/94, might still be high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 LOT going with temps as high as 97 in parts of Chicago. Even that seems a little low to me -- I would think 98 to 103 is a more likely range, with H85 temps so high. ? Skilling just said upper 90s Friday, but staying at or above 90 through the weekend.

beavis1729 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Low temps this morning: MSP: 82 La Crosse: 81 La Crosse may hit 100-102 this afternoon, with a HI close to 120. Already 88/74/97 at 10 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Looks quite possible. Not much cooling behind the front. Monday may be a little more questionable but that is a long way off. This is all contingent on not having MCSs screwing things up. We'll see, but i won't be surprised if the same record that has been playing lately gets another spin, although the setup doesn't look all that muddy from a convective standpoint, it doesn't take much of a ripple to set off a noctunal mcs that screws everything up.

Hoosier Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 LOT has knocked back lakefront temps to 93/94, might still be high. Clouds should eventually break but time is being wasted. I think the ceiling is low 90's and I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't make it to 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 MDW still sitting at 73 as of 10:51 with the immediate lakefront probably a couple degrees cooler, still decent cloud cover and some east component to the surface winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Heat advisory could probably be cancelled at this point. I'm very skeptical of the criteria being met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Pretty amazed at the life of the summer lake plume, getting into a pretty unfavorable time of the day and it's still chugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Heat advisory could probably be cancelled at this point. I'm very skeptical of the criteria being met. OFB moved through which helped lower dp's once again and cloud cover will stick around for the next few hours... So they might as well drop it.

Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We are really going to have to torch for him to get his prediction. July and August both have to average 83.5 to get to 80.1. Not happening. Dying t'storms here today FTW, keeping temps relatively cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 looking east over the lake, blackness, looking west, you can see the sunshining out around oak brook. Should be sunny downtown within 30-60 minutes then we'll see how fast we climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 That cell just east of downtown is blowing up and send tons more debris out, 85 might by a stretch now, lol. I'm watching the canopy creep west out the office window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching the canopy creep west out the office window. They keep showing the sky from time to time on the Sox/Cubs pre-game...looks nice. Also, another OFB moving inland. I guess making 80 will be a struggle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
