BowMeHunter Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Lol; now I know what not to try at Mexican restaurants. If anyone wants a reminder of why the heat isn't so bad (unless you work in it), watch the 3rd round of the British Open tomorrow morning. It will basically be a 360 from what we're expecting next week. I never order nasty deep fried poppers out.. gotta make them at home on the weber or smoker (oven on 350 works well too.) stuff the peppers halves with a mixture of cream cheese and w/e else meats, sea food, or cheese tickles your fancy.. wrap that thing of beauty with bacon and grill or smoke away until the bacon is crisp. They have those lil red and yellow baby sweet peppers.. those work well if you don't like the heat.. Jap peppers are very tame if you scrape all the membrane and seeds out tho. Euro had a lil something something rolling through here around midweek. something for you to watch I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 You're gonna be screwed like the rest of us if there's a day with a strong enough gradient. I'm mostly trolling bitterbum, i'm sure it's going to get hot, hopefully we can avoid 95+ though. Worst case scenario i'll be taking some dip in the cold lake.

A-L-E-K Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 ac at work and home.. stones throw away from LM? You got it made. CTA bus drivers normally keep the AC set at Canada as well, can pretty much limit my heat exposure to under 5 mins a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Izzi with a long AFD for LOT today... http://forecast.weat...on=1&glossary=1 Looks like heat advisory potential for Monday and then potential headlines from Wedesday on. Surrounding offices going with excessive heat warnings starting Sunday and lasting through late week. LOT will either end up FTW going conservative or FTL if model projections are right.

baroclinic_instability Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I agree with many others here, not record breaking temps alone, but a prolonged period of pain through heat indices pushing 110+ and dew points 70-75+ across much of the "midwest". This is the doldrums of summer at its worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 longest 90 degree streaks for LAF since 1980 (West Lafayette COOP used prior to 2007) Jul 1983: 13 (1 day of 100) Jul-Aug 1988: 9 Aug 1988: 9 Aug 1995: 9 Aug 2007: 9 Jun 2005: 8 Jul 1987: 7 I don't think we'll have much trouble getting on this list. Hopefully we don't touch the 1983 streak but I'm not really paying much attention to anything beyond a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 sure hope somebody lucks out and a storm can pop because this kind of weather is about as useless and boring as mildly arctic air and no snow. 100's at least make it exciting to track and record breaking.

Hoosier Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Fingers crossed for some storms saving us for a day or two.. It might happen but that's all it would be. Soils are drying out but evapotranspiration is very efficient at this time of year so I'd think that the higher end dewpoints are still in play. Tim's golf game is going to get rusty...

Im thinking were going to be stuck at 95F and 75DP all week. I dont think 100 is going to be attainable. Maybe a few places in Indiana but Im a bit skeptical.

BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 near or 100 will be very attainable I think if we can get the core of the ridge to move east. Not as easy as that as hoosier points out below me.. entering the dust bowl baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few places in Indiana but Im a bit skeptical. I think we need a day with stronger low level flow to increase mixing and lower the dewpoints a bit. There's not a day that stands out right now.

BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Curious to see what what kind of heat destruction flip flop the Euro brings tonight for here to the NE. Daylight savings can't come fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Tim's golf game is going to get rusty... Tim's in hibernation already I think.. Or more likely getting his club stroked and balls washed by that lady friend with the pool I doubt he misses playing the 100° and 80° DP game with you next week and beyond.

BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 2m 100 in LAF next friday. same as 12z looks like a tad less blocking as figured with the euro flip flop and the death ridge should bleed east better. meh pretty much the same as 12z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 hopefully can unconstipate this flow after the torch and get stuff flowing down the toilet bowl into the atlantic.. instead of just week old turds sitting in our toilets for who knows how long.

The_Global_Warmer Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I am thinking. 100-105F most days next week here. with Heat index of 115F or so. then a couple days of 105F-107F and heat index of 120F maybe higher. might be historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 longest 90 degree streaks for LAF since 1980 (West Lafayette COOP used prior to 2007) Jul 1983: 13 (1 day of 100) Jul-Aug 1988: 9 Aug 1988: 9 Aug 1995: 9 Aug 2007: 9 Jun 2005: 8 Jul 1987: 7 I don't think we'll have much trouble getting on this list. Hopefully we don't touch the 1983 streak but I'm not really paying much attention to anything beyond a week. 1983 is so underrated. Here's the 90+ streaks (min of 5) at LAF (airport) that summer. 7/11-24/1983: 95, 91, 93, 96, 93, 93, 96, 98, 99, 102, 102, 104, 100, 90 7/25/1983 had a 89, but was followed by this: 7/26-31/1983: 90, 91, 99, 99, 91, 93 So within one degree on one day of a 21 day heat wave. Regardless, 20 out of 21 days at or above 90. Impressive. 8/5-10/1983: 93, 91, 93, 96, 90, 93 8/18-22/1983: 93, 98, 100, 97, 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Tim's golf game is going to get rusty... I've only got 5 rounds in this season anyway. But yes, clubs won't be coming out for awhile... Tim's in hibernation already I think.. Or more likely getting his club stroked and balls washed by that lady friend with the pool I doubt he misses playing the 100° and 80° DP game with you next week and beyond. Back to hibernation mode.

OHSnow Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 As hot as this week will be, I don't think the hottest weather will reach the eastern Midwest until next weekend. At that point, the ridge should begin sliding off to the east and the temperature will be enhanced by compressional heating and enhanced mixing ahead of a weak cold front moving in from the upper Midwest. The DGEX for next Saturday was showing 100+ in the city of Chicago and in the usual downsloping hot spots in northeast lower Michigan from about Mt. Pleasant to Tawas City. 95 to 99 elsewhere.

The_Global_Warmer Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Models already making adjustments upwards for today. A blend of the RUC and Nam would give us 92-94F with DP around 73-75. they didn't crack 90F here today until the last runs or two. The 594DM Ridge is expanding hundreds of miles so fast. This is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is awesome RUC has us getting to around 90*F/low 90s in the city as well. They're world's apart when it comes to instability though. NAM shows 1000 J/KG to 1500 J/KG where as RUC shows very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
