BowMeHunter Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hard to believe summer is almost OVA Motherfookers! Wont be long and those cold fonts will have a extra bit of oomph.. Looks like a few hot days to start the month and then back to more avg stuff. Hope the heat returns right around the 15th before going up north for 10 days.

Looks like a few hot days to start the month and then back to more avg stuff. Hope the heat returns right around the 15th before going up north for 10 days. It's appropriate for me to mention here that I've been doing some digging through old winter storm threads that I have never seen on Eastern, and it always makes for some humorous times. I have never been part of a weather message board until Americanwx this year, so it was fun watching the conversations of snowstorms of old progress, especially with all the action there has been over the past five years. Can't wait to do it again this winter. If you want, we could continue this conversation on another thread, as I don't want to hijack an August discussion thread.

Chicago WX Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 With seemingly no end in sight to the death ridge...a cursory look at some of the hottest Augusts on record at LAF since 1964. Again, some missing data, sketchiness, etc etc... 2010 - 76.8º 2007 - 77.9º 1995 - 81.0º 1988 - 76.9º 1983 - 79.6º 1980 - 76.6º 1975 - 76.3º Top 10 hottest Augusts for Indianapolis... 1936 - 80.5º 1983 - 80.1º 2007 - 80.0º 1995 - 79.6º 2010 - 79.5º 1900 - 79.4º 1947 - 79.0º 1918 - 78.4º 1881 - 78.0º 1872 - 77.7º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 NAM still has limited mixing on Tuesday. Worth watching though...if we mix a little higher then we'd have no trouble reaching the upper 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 0z NAM rolled in with 98 for ORD and 101 for MLI on Tuesday. Ridiculous 850mb temps forecast too. Highest that I can remember of the season so far in this area. We're not going to mix out that high, but still impressive. Looks like dews will be above 75 as well, so heat indices will probably be well above 110. 00z NAM also has KC above 110 as well, but at least dews will be sub 60 there.

Hoosier Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Had to post this skew-T for Wichita. This is crazy...there's hardly enough room for the temperature curve. Won't see that too often outside of desert areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 As we head into August, I thought I would post updated 80+ and 90+ stats for Chicago/ORD...as I did in the July thread. Through July 31st: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Relatively easy daily record high for LAF to beat or tie today...95º in 1988 (96º in 1941 at the WL COOP). So far today...92º at 2PM. Tomorrow probably within reach as well at LAF...98º in 1964 (101º in 1901 at the WL COOP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 North Platte just broke 100 degrees today...for the first time in 1098 days. Last time we did it was way back in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Only 24 more days until we start really dropping the avg temp fast at 2 degrees a week. Better start working on those palm boxes, crom. 91 for a high today.. DP is gross. Aug looking pretty decent after tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's probably wrong, but the 12z Euro has 10 day total QPF of 2"+ for central Indiana. There is some hope anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice to have a wet august to hopefully get your courses back for a really busy fall. I always loved golf the best in the fall with the changing foliage.. Just hate trying to find the ball sometimes in the downed leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the greens around here need the rain...the supers do as good of a job as they can, but mother nature needs to play ball too. And I agree about Fall golf...my favorite time of the year to play too. Leaves though are a PITA. Anyway, off to my friend's pool for a little evening cooling off/swimming and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It's the RUC nearly 24hrs out, but you get the point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganLion Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Monday's high of 94 degrees makes 16 straight 90+ degree days for Cincinnati (CVG). Tomorrow should make 17 (highs generally forecast from 92-96), which would tie the all-time record. Wednesday thru the weekend all look close (daily highs from the upper-80s to lower-90s).

Trent Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is the definition of a heat wave, 3 straight days at or above 90, just used in the northern parts of the US? I'd imagine the criteria has to be different in the the South and Plains? It seems that based on that definition for many places in the US, a heat wave and summer are the same thing.

Thundersnow12 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 depending how much mixing goes on, the higher dew points should be west of I-39 or so tomorrow afternoon pooling along the front in the mid-upper 70's, wouldn't be shocked at an 80.

cyclone77 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 11z RUC looking brutal for eastern Iowa. Has Iowa City at 105/78 later this afternoon. Had the QC at 102/80. If clouds stay away long enough this could be the hottest day of the season here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
