September 2011 General Discussion/Obs


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

It would be funny if Chicago managed to hit 100 later this week since they just missed doing it earlier this year. I wonder if there's ever been a year where their only 100 degree temp came in September.

Haha, especially if it's at ORD while MDW hits 99.

DVN getting increasingly more bullish for Thursday, with forecast highs now around 96. They're really low balling Friday though, with only low 90s forecast. It's a bit early, but I'd go with 98 Thursday, and 100 Friday for MLI.

99% sure 1939 and 1960 did it.

Chad is still tame with his temps. Let's play over/under on his call, as he has the heat lasting through Sunday.

Thu: 94 Over

Fri: 95 Over

Sat: 94 Under

Sun: 93 Under

I'd swap MLI in for DVN, as DVN almost seems too cool on hot days. If MLI were to make it to 103 for example, DVN would probably only tag 98 or 99.

IND page on the heat wave:

http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=72362&source=0

Another heat wave will follow the pleasant weather that the Indianapolis area has been enjoying since Saturday. Maximum temperatures during the first three days of September will rival the hottest weather Indianapolis has experienced this summer. A temperature of 97 degrees at the Indianapolis airport would make this weather the hottest for September since early September 1954. The number of 90 degree days during 2011 will exceed 37...the most for a year since 1988.

There is a possibility that the temperature could reach 100 degrees at the airport. This has not happened during September since September 5, 1954. The maximum temperature for the month of September is also 100 degrees. This occurred on only five September days since 1871...2 days in both 1939 and 1953 and 1 day in 1954.

Friday definitely looks to have a legitimate shot at 100 degrees at KIND, but definitely could get close tomorrow. The extremely dry conditions should really help crank up temperatures during the afternoon hours. I'm planning on spending much of Friday and Saturday in the pool as good pool weather days are dwindling.

I think it's pretty obvious I think most of the point and click forecasts are just a tad bit too cool. I don't think ORD hits 97 tomorrow though. I'm thinking more like 95 tomorrow and 99 Friday at ORD.

At MLI I think they hit 99 tomorrow, and 98 Friday.
