Chicago Storm Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 MDW up to 101 and PWK up to 100 as of 5PM. ORD keeps bouncing between 96/98 the past several OBS for some odd reason. All of the CWOP stations in the general vicinity of ORD have hit 100. Sitting at 97 here. ORD back up to 99 on an early intra-hour observation. What a sh*tty ASOS site (Yes Powerball, I am complaining...for two reasons. The odd bouncing around OBS and the fact today is another example of why it should not represent the city).

Chicago WX Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 So how is Chad's summer forecast working out? 76.6 through today at LAF. He needs roughly 84.4 the rest of the summer for the 80.1 call to work out (I think my math is correct ). About 82.0 to tie 1936 as the hottest summer on record. As a comparison, 1936 was 78.0 through today. It averaged 80.3 the rest of the summer to finish at 79.0. Only 10 of the last 41 days that summer failed to break 90, with the last 5 days of met summer failing to do so. Of course the lows were lower due to the rural location back then, amongst other things. LAF's "mini UHI effect" will be in full force no doubt.

Chicago WX Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If you want to play the game for Chicago, the current official site location withstanding, the hottest summer on record is 76.4 in 1955 (at MDW), followed closely by the 76.3 of 1995. Through today, the average is 73.5 at ORD. An average of roughly 80.3 the rest of the way is needed to at least tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 High temperatures for Toronto (7/21): Downtown Toronto: 101 (38.2 C) Pearson Airport/YYZ: 100 (37.9 C) Both stations set a daily record for the 21st. However, the all-time high temperature of 105, set in July 1936, at the downtown station remained intact. The 101 in downtown Toronto was the first time it has reached 100+ since September 2nd, 1953, where it got up to 100 that day. Pearson Airport has reached 100 a few times previously (July 7th, 1988 and August 8th, 2001). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Today was crazy. What a bad day to go to an amusement park. I wound up getting sick from the heat.

Hoosier Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 LAF up to 98 and my predicted high for them today.. Euro was right on the money all week pretty much and served me well in schooling hoosier. Yeah, the GFS 2m temps were utter garbage (that isn't really surprising) but its MOS output was also too low. MOS was about 2-5 degrees too low even on the same day. NAM was better but the Euro performance was spectacular other than that run or two where it tried to bring storms in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well, for the first time since July 14, 1995, DTW hit 100F today! Peak heat index I believe was 112? The hourly reading at DTW never got higher than 98F (though it stayed there for 4 consecutive hourly readings, 2, 3, 4, and 5pm)....but intrahourly, 2:41pm, is when the 100F was recorded. Its been a year of extremes, a cold, snowy winter, a wet, gray spring, and now a hot, humid summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The Great Lakes heatwave is beginning to winding down, the crest is nigh. Will enjoy the cool weather next week. That's the thing, the 'cool' weather being forecasted for the week will technically still be above normal, the difference being instead of 10-15 above it will be more like 0-5 above normal. Furthermore we still have probably 3 more 90 degree days to get through before then maybe even 4 if Monday overachieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 At this rate this will be one of Detroit's top 3 hottest summers on record (it should easily surpass 2010). Today could be interesting though. May be another overachiever temperature wise if the convective debris holds off to the north and west (mid 90s). Also could see some convection off the outflows from storms out west if the return flow can kick in soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Simple comparison of the July 1995 heat wave to the current one at MDW.
