baroclinic_instability Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 We had a disgusting 81 degree dewpoint today in North Platte. Highest of my life--and it sucked. I hate death ridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Alright, here's my take on high temps for LAF from Sunday through Friday. A couple of these days early on have rather significant bust potential due to possible clouds/storms. Sun: 90----91 Mon: 90-----92 Tue: 92-------94 Wed: 94-------94 Thu: 94 --------98 Fri: 95-----------96 As I said earlier, I expect daily dewpoints in the 75-80 range and some brief spikes above 80 are not out of the question.

A-L-E-K Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 been pleasent all weekend but today should be close to uncomfortable, shame i'm stuck in the office anyways. Looks like some MCS action might keep temps in check at least through the start of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just checked satellite, doesn't look like much in the way of debris cloud cover anywhere in the midwest. If that holds off, I think some mid 90s will be possible even today, considering many areas reached near 90 (even a few low 90s) under partly to mostly cloudy sky conditions yesterday with cooler H85 temps. I could see some 93-96 degree temps pop up in a belt from Chicago to Detroit/Toledo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember getting as many days that warm in a summer in awhile. Dont remember any either during last years warm summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it's been awhile since there's been a dry summer, but it's definitely been dry this summer. Toledo has only had 1.22" since June 1. I know DTW is not as bad, but only because it got clobbered by that one isolated storm that trained over the airport and dumped like 2 inches. Most everywhere else in SE Michigan has been drier... Flint has only had .08" this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take much of a lack of rain to really dry things out in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Water gets sucked up faster by the veg now than Oprah with a milkshake.. Guarantee it's dried up pretty good in full sun areas if a location has only had .18" this month even if they had 4" last month. MI looks to be in a decent spot for rain tho.

Madmaxweather Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The heat is going to start cranking here in southern Ohio. Looks like Tues-Thurs will be the hottest period with low to mid 90's and dewpoints 75-80. Last Monday was simply brutal. At one time I had 95 with a dewpoint of 81.

cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Off to a quick start here. Already 88/74 HI 97. With the lack of cloud cover and slightly veered surface winds we should have no problem reaching 95 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The NAM is starting to come into range for the Wed-Fri period...and it's throwing out a 101 on Wed for ORD. It also shows 96 for today...so we'll see how that goes. Have to see what the para NAM shows as we move closer. 0z GFS MOS was still kicking out 94/95/95 for that period.

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It's gonna bust today. No way ORD gets to 96. No way? MKE is already 89, as of noon. It looks like we're going to bust high actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbo Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Small shower/storm just kind of meandering around me. Might put a small dent in reaching the upper 90s but the airport will likely still reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 No way? MKE is already 89, as of noon. It looks like we're going to bust high actually. Normal temp progression on mostly sunny days like this is to add a lot in the morning and slow down in the afternoon. You don't keep increasing at the same pace the entire day. Old school rule of thumb is the 10/10 rule, meaning 10 degrees after 10 AM, but you have to be aware of the setup on an individual basis to determine how well it might work.

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Heat advisories were just added for the SE Wisconsin lakeshore counties, which didn't previously have them. I feel bad that Chicago has a rule that they can't issue heat advisories. It is appropriate with this type of heat to at least have some headlines.
