Chicago WX Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yesterday's measured wind gust of 67 MPH at LAF, is the second highest gust since 1980. July 8, 2001 and June 15, 1982 both had 68 MPH gusts. Of course keep in mind there is some missing data from LAF, via wunderground.com...so the list may not be complete. Regardless, here's the list of highest gusts (min 60 MPH) at LAF that I found... *indicates "non-thunderstorm related" gust August 7, 2011...67 MPH August 4, 2009...66 MPH July 26, 2005...66 MPH July 8, 2001...68 MPH October 30, 1996...63 MPH* April 6, 1988...61 MPH* December 15, 1987...60 MPH* June 15, 1982...68 MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Today is the 24th consecutive 80+ day at ORD, so we are now tied for 10th. It looks like the next three days should be 80+. Wednesday is expected to be in the upper 70's (NWS), so it will be interesting to see if the streak will indeed end of if we can pull an IND. GFS MOS is showing 80+ through at least Saturday. Today is the 26th consecutive 80+ day at ORD, pushing us into 9th. Wednesday still looks to be the biggest threat to end the streak. 1. 46 days - 7/2-8/16/2010 2. 42 days - 6/27-8/7/55 3. 34 days - 8/10-9/6/95 4. 32 days - 7/16-8/8/83 5. 30 days - 6/20-7/19/21 6. 29 days - 7/21-8/18/88 7. 27 days - 7/11-8/6/99 8. 27 days - 6/18-7/14/66 9. 26 days - 7/14-? 10. 25 days - 7/22-8/15/2007 11. 24 days - 7/23-7/26/2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 some decent looking storms off to the north of the QCs, might see some action later this evening if they don't slide south. The great summer rolls on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 We got a good storm this afternoon. I was on the roof of the garage trying to clean the gutters when the high wind and rain hit. After I climbed down it was pouring and gusting, but I had one more thing to do outside. As I was running back toward the door it began hailing on me. Fortunately, it was only pea to marble size. A few miles north got one inch diameter hail. Rainwise, we ended up with 0.72". The next week looks pretty dry so I'm glad we got some today.

Chicago WX Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Right now there is a line forming north and east of that area, from the IN/MI state line up through central lower MI. Latest run has that. Still has the line sweeping through Indiana. Looks good for you. As for here... Check visible, some CU going up west of that line in NW IN. I can actually see them off in the distance. ...this shows we're probably skating a thin line. Could "blow up" over top or just south of here.

roardog Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 We just had the best non warned severe t-storm come through here. Winds about 70 MPH with about .75 inch hail. No warning with it though. Looking forward to highs in the low 70s tomorrow. Maybe we can sneak into the upper 40s Wednesday night too. I like it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Cells all around the area here, so far we were missed at airport, though next cell looks like it won't miss. Edit: Spoke too soon, pulsing down and missing airport to the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
