Hoar_Frost Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Agreed. I prefer a forecast of 95-98 for Monday through Wednesday for ORD. Ridge axis looks like it'll be aligned farther east than optimal, and mixing due to strong winds may be too great. Moreover, the recent overachievements in temperatures would at least be temporarily thwarted by any rainfall received this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on this small batch of rain to the WSW. glad I gave the lawn a good soaking because that's the only appreciable rain it will see or a while.

But for those who don't care about statistics, they also wouldn't notice any difference between an 89*F, 90*F or 91*F. If there's anything I quite frankly don't care about, it's the minor drought we have locally. All it takes is a couple good round of t'storms to wipe that out (like last July), and climo is in our favor of having that wiped out more likely than not.

For stats purpose I guess but for outdoor activities it doesn't really matter. Still going to the pool. That minor drought got wiped out Monday night along M-59 Northward. 0.60" here and some areas got 1" of water. I was in Southern Wayne yesterday it's clear that they need rain.

hm8 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Pool is dead as hell today... Thought that it would be more crowded what with the hot weather. I assume that it's clouded up?

SchaumburgStormer Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Its sad when this is the best shot we have had for rain in several weeks, and I dont have enough confidence in it to not be running the sprinker.

hawkeye_wx Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It seems pretty clear the storms are going to stay well south of my area. Once again, it has come down to hoping a light rain shield north of the storms can hold together and give me enough rain to fill my barrel(~0.15").

cyclone77 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just picked up about a half inch of rain in 10 mins. Bolts hit close enough to knock the power out briefly.
