Chicago Storm Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I went upper 90's at ORD but I'm not sure there's enough time to make it. What do you think? I had liked Skillings consistent call of 97, but given it's only 89 as of noon it would obviously be very hard to reach that unless something extraordinary were to happen. IKK is up to 94. DP's continue to mix out, with mid 50's showing up. If the RR somehow pulls this one out, it would be something... Edit: ORD is up to 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Wow Kankakee up to 94 already. 93 also at Rockford. Both of those sites look like they've mixed out pretty nicely already. Oddly MLI and DVN still stuck in the upper 80s, but their dews are still 65-66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 There is no blow torch winds out today, which I'm surprised about. Hard to find any station with a wind over 10mph. Up to 77°, but with a steady east wind. That's the problem it seems. There is no low level jet to speak of and the marine / t-storm outflow layer just refuses to mix out. If anything easterly outflow is getting stronger. Seriously, wind is gusting to 25 out of the east. WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm working in Ann Arbor today and the temp dropped 3 degrees just now. Sitting at 77 now.... No way do we crack 85.. 8 degree temp bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling this a back-door cold front bust. MCS over Upper Lower is even making a turn to the right and may even clip Saganaw and Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm calling this a back-door cold front bust. MCS over Upper Lower is even making a turn to the right and may even clip Saganaw. The height of those cloud tops by Saginaw is probably causing a very extreme outflow boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything easterly outflow is getting stronger. Seriously, wind is gusting to 25 out of the east. WTF! Lol, I don't see it as a problem. Less AC today. That renewed push from the east will probably translate to a stronger lake wind here. 80 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That renewed push from the east will probably translate to a stronger lake wind here. 80 now. zzzz... boring. If only that MCS would backbuild all the way to GRR. LOL.

IWXwx Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 My weather station is reporting 94°, my point of 97 is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Weather station up to 95 now. Seems a bit higher than some of the surrounding locations though. May be a degree or two too high. Grass/ground is VERY dry beneath it now so that may effect it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Chin up guys. Could be worse. It's only 49 in Duluth and in the LOW 40s in ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I now see the outflow boundary on radar. Leading edge of hotter air is only 20 miles south of me but it's not exactly moving north at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Chin up guys. Could be worse. It's only 49 in Duluth and in the LOW 40s in ND. If it topped out at 65 I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Seeing some interesting dewpoint spikes and falls here over the last few hours. It's been as low as 56, only to quickly rise back into the low 60s. Thinking the less mixed area just to the south/west with their higher dews is advecting in on the southwest breeze, only to mix out again. Not a cloud in the sky today.
