Brewers Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Currently sitting at 76 degrees with some high clouds making the sky look hazy. Working down by the lake this year has been awesome. No matter how hot it is everyday there has been a lake breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The models (gfs and euro) completely diverge after next Friday into the weekend. Lol. Today's 12z GFS shows a redux of this past Tuesday and Wednesday but last nights Euro is straight up hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how hot it is everyday there has been a lake breeze Isn't that nice! I worked at North Beach in Racine all of last August and only one or two days were uncomfortably warm. Temperatures were consistently between 72-78°. Lake breeze cooled it off here just now. At 82°, was 85°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's definitely not blazing! That's quite a run to run difference. MJO is supposed to be in the phase 1 territory by that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think Chi Storm mentioned 100-105 based on last nights euro. It seems both of these runs are suspect. Not sure what is freaking them out. Something happens when the models bust loose the blocking high to our south. Weird. Well one of these models will fail. But then again it's 7 days out for both. This would be the 3rd time so far this month the GfS over amps a trough. Maybe some rain we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Lake breeze strengthening here. Down to 81°. 73° downtown Waukegan. Looks like ORD's high might be checked by the lake breeze front moving in. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=lot&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 These lake breezes are really pretty tame for mid June The ones that come in from the SE are the tamest ones. It would be a different story from the NE. Coolest reading in Chicago is 76° at Belmont Harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolest reading in Chicago is 76° at Belmont Harbor. I'm about a mile north of there and right off LSD, so it's probably about the same here...just feels great out.

Geos Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 For members in southern WI. Chance of rain tonight. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI 230 PM CDT FRI JUN 15 2012 .SHORT TERM... TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH. MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE PERIOD IS THE LEFTOVER MCV/SHORTWAVE OVER IOWA WHICH COULD SPARK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVES ACROSS WISCONSIN BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT. 12Z NAM/GFS SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS FEATURE AND HOLD IT TOGETHER ALL THE WAY TO LAKE MICHIGAN...THOUGH WITH DIMINISHING STRENGTH. MIDLEVEL MOISTURE INITIALIZED SIMILARLY WELL IN BOTH MODELS...BUT GFS RETAINS MORE MOISTURE AS THE WAVE MOVES INTO WISCONSIN. USED A BLEND OF THE TWO MODELS TO BASE TIMING/CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION.

SchaumburgStormer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Got the AC pumping. 91 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Finally got the first 90 degree day in June. Hit 92 earlier. Still doesn't feel that hot though due to the unusual lack of humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Frostfern- I've read that if you have ragweed you can become allergic to melons, other fruits... The lightning show tonite has been awesome. Just a ton of cloud to cloud jagged long streaks dancing across the sky...still raining lightly. That is weird. It's only the really juicy sweet local cantaloupe that does it though. It's delicious but gives me a terrible itch on the roof of my mouth. The flavorless kind shipped from California doesn't do it. I does seem related to my ragweed allergy as the symptom is exactly the same. When the ragweed is bad I worry I'm going to annoy people by constantly making a sucking sound with my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I can't help it though is the itch is pure torture sometimes.

It's 90/50 here. The 40 degree temp/dewpoint spread is something else. I lived in Seattle for 4 years for graduate school and let me tell you, those brief Pacific Northwest heatwaves are typically more humid than this. There you'll see 90/58 at peak heating or 80/62 later in the evening and people will complain a lot about it being "muggy". 90/50 is more like California dryness.

cyclone77 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 91/40. Second day in a row with a 50 degree temp/dewpoint spread. Pretty crazy for mid June. By this point in the season anything under 55 is pretty unusual without a fresh Canadian blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 91/40. Second day in a row with a 50 degree temp/dewpoint spread. Wow, that's pretty extreme! 79°/54° here. Average dewpoint this month roughly has been 49°. I can see that for May or September, but June! Of course the vegetation is trying to reserve their moisture. 85° was as high as it got at noon.

Thundersnow12 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Model runs are going to continue to change back and forth with regards to precip amounts around the area. No point in posting an image of each run or buying any one solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wonder... what's the rainfall gap over Chicagoland all about!? 18z GFS Nothing more than an observation, but I love how every run of the GFS has had that same 1"+ bullseye on the western end of Lake erie.

Hoar_Frost Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 A very credible forecaster at LOT with whom I am Facebook friends has expressed via a status post his confidence that ORD has a 'decent shot' of hitting 100 at some point(s) next Monday through Thursday.
