Hoosier Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Should be about a 2-3 hour window for ORD to pull off the elusive 95F/40 mph gust. I'm less confident about the wind aspect given that the models have backed off just a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 ORD only up to 89 as of noon. Skilling still going with 95-102 area wide, but it's becoming obvious no one will get near 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 guessing we'll top out around 95 still...we'll probably start tomorrow with similar debris issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ORD <em>only</em> up to 89 as of noon. Skilling still going with 95-102 area wide, but it's becoming obvious no one will get near 100. I would've thought 90 or 91 by now. I sorta wonder if there is too much wind today and if it could keep max temps down a hair. Mixing is deep, which is a plus for maxing out, but the strong low level wind could be mixing/disrupting the near surface layer more than normal? I don't know...just a thought.

BowMeHunter Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 weird to see the Tundra of Waukegan warmer than Chicago the last 3 hrly obs and won the race to 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 weird to see the Tundra of Waukegan warmer than Chicago the last 3 hrly obs and won the race to 90 Yeah, I thought that was funny too. Actually, Racine and Kenosha are warmer than many Chicago area obs, which is also weird. This should be the most uncomfortable day of the year so far, with the moister heat compared to the dry heat we've experienced in abundance this year.

Dewpoints are dropping into the mid 60s, which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the slight increase in soil moisture is an issue too? Not sure. IA isn't doing well temp wise either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Didn't expect dew points to be this high at this time, thought more mixing would take place and I'm sure that is playing a role in max temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect dews to creep down but there is pretty decent moisture through 850 mb, which would suggest that even great mixing might not lower them drastically.

Geos Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ORD caught up to UGN at 91°. 66° Td. 90.7° IMBY. Temperature rise is slowing down. Few cumulus trying to get going. 2:00pm: 91.8°, 65° Td. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I think temperatures are hitting there limit now. Managed a 1° rise in an hour. Sitting at 93° even. Winds are getting stronger, making the HI a non issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 A couple days ago the nws had much of Iowa in the upper 90s, but we won't come close to that. Even mid 90s may be too high. It also hasn't been exceptionally windy. The CR airport has only been gusting into the low to mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also hasn't been exceptionally windy. The CR airport has only been gusting into the low to mid 30s. I see a lot of locations at 90° or still in the upper 80s across eastern IA/NW IL! I think 93° is going to be the high here. Edit: Down to 92° at 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 94 with a 43 mph gust on the 4 PM ORD ob. Dews have dipped into the low/mid 60's in much of N IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The 00z RAOBS could be telling as to why temps underperformed today. I didn't think it rained much the other day outside of some localized corridors so I'm not sure that soil moisture explains everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The 00z DVN RAOB had an 850 mb temp of 19.4C with an inversion just above that level. Models had generally been indicating 850 mb temps of 20-21C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 After today's fail I'm guessing tomorrow we'll only make the low 90s again. 850s are cooler, but the warm overnight temps should help make up for it. MLI will probably come in at 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
