Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Per meso analysis, 850mb temps are only running around +22C out in cyclone77 land. With full mixing not occuring, i'm not even sure high temps would have been realized across the area even if it was clear. Temps are running in the low 90's in this area as of 2PM (excluding the usual higher locations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My AC is having an easy go so far this year, only a handful of nights where i've needed it and even then it wasn't crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Chicago could sitll make a late day run towards 90*F (mid to upper 80s). Even mixing up to 925mb-900mb would support it with 925mb temps of 24*C. And also, Chicago/Rockford Airport is at 87*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 After a bit of a cool down on monday, it looks like we stay pretty unstable most of next week with repeated chance of storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Our first batch of clouds today are coming through. Just a small area of high-based altocumulus, which was mixing out from the storms upstream. There's been the very thin/high based cirrus clouds too for the past hour, but they're so thin and high-based that they're mostly in the form of haze. EDIT: It's not impacting our full sunshine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The sun keeps trying to come through the clouds here but hasn't been able to stay out for longer than 5 mins. Filtered sun here for the past 30min or so...we'll see how high temps can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We've pretty much maxed out on our heating potential now. 86*F has been the temperature for the last two observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 We've pretty much maxed out on our heating potential now. 86*F has been the temperature for the last two observations. You guys have lucked out so far. 90 in Ypsilanti, 88 in Lambertville, 89 in Troy, and 92 in Toledo today (compromise btw. the two airports). The heat is definitely on again out that way.

OHSnow Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Very dry here in northeastern Ohio with browning lawns and low streamflows. Just goes to show you how misleading it is to say this is the wettest year on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Sat here working, watching the wind and temp changes. We are now at 83, with some filtered sun, and S to SSW winds. Temp is up nearly 7 degrees since I started work at 2:30. We were at 76 or so. Backyard temp sensor just topped 84 degrees. Looks like the kids are going to the pool after all.

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 93/78 here currently with a heat index of 108. Hit 94 a little while ago with a heat index of 111. Would have made it a few degrees higher but had cloud cover all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Really hoping we can get some convection to round the bend into Northeast Illinois this evening, preferrably raging all night and loading the area with debris. Probably wishful thinking, big time heat looks like reality. lower/mid 60s lake water will feel great. nice call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Gonna be interested to see the next ORD ob. Usually temps start a downward trend by this time of day but normal rules sort of go out the window on a day like this. 4 degree rise in the past hour.

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 There are a few north/south oriented boundaries here in western Illinois that probably propagated away from the eastern Illinois convection. These boundaries are really helping to pool the moisture here. Dews have been hovering between 77-79 all afternoon, while to the west they're more in the 74-77 range. Needless to say it's very oppressive out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it would hit 90*F, I said it would make a run towards 90*F and provided my reasons for that claim, and it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
