turtlehurricane Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 temps just fell You can see the lake breeze clearly on vis near Milwaukee, just developed. Dropped from 86 to 79 in an hour there. http://whirlwind.aos.wisc.edu/~gempak/msnvis/msnvisflash.html We've climbed to 88 in Madison, 90s down the road in Janesville and Rockford.

beavis1729 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 IMO it's still a bit too early for comparisons to 1988 as far as drought impact in the Midwest...but May-June 2012 has actually been a lot warmer than May-June 1988 at ORD. This was surprising to me. 1988 was much drier, though. Of course these are only numbers at one particular location...so it may not really tell the whole story over the larger geographical area. With that said, here are the numbers... ORD May-June 1988 Mean High: 79.7 Mean Low: 52.8 Mean Temp: 66.3 Total Precip: 2.25" 90-degree days: 16 May-June 2012* Mean High: 81.0 Mean Low: 59.0 Mean Temp: 70.0 Total Precip: 4.82" (much of this was in May; June 2012 will probably end up drier than June 1988, if not much rain falls tonight) 90-degree days: 17 * June 25-30 is based on current NWS forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Turned out to be a pretty decent day here. Temps in low 80's sun and clouds mix. Severe weather/rain fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 89 °F in Madison, 73 °F on the lake shore in Milwaukee. Pretty strong pressure gradient setting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 June 1988: 0.36" June 2012: 0.05" Next up is the driest month on record. Here's the top 10: March 1910: 0.07" November 1904: 0.11" November 1917: 0.12" October 1963: 0.17" February 1907: 0.18" October: 1934: 0.19" February 1935: 0.20" January 1944: 0.21" October 1908: 0.23" September 1963: 0.24" Looks IND has one last chance (Friday night/Saturday) to avoid breaking both the June and all time driest month on record. Can't say I like their chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Gotta a nice heavy T shower here. Nickle and dime. Hearing crappy rumbles of thunder here. Hopefully it doesn't fizzle out and I can finally get a decent donwpour myself. The high today was 87*F. Actually, just got a pretty decent crack of thunder.

aurora Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Everything occurred just to my north, south, and east today. What can you do. I'd venture to say that this severe weather season may end up even quieter than 2009, and I didn't think a quieter season than 2009 was possible. The March 15th Dexter EF-3 certainly looks like the mother of all aberrations at this point in time. I will, however, gladly take the quiet weather tomorrow. Should be a perfect night for the Detroit fireworks, which I'm driving down to see. Looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Maxed at 89 here today, definitely an over performer. Really something considering the environment moving in later this week, us making it almost to 90 today. I think they will need to up their temps for mid week here maybe substantially.
