cyclone77 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 ....There is a blob of anvil rains heading this way from the southwest though. Crapped out. No rain at all here today. Monthly total still at 0.23". 2.68" since June 1st, and 14.69" for 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherPimp Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I get to enjoy my last month in Indiana/Ohio. I just accepted a job as a meteorologist in Idaho. Big change, but I'm looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't escape the drought, as it is plaguing those areas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 A damp, balmy evening here. Rain from earlier still on the vegetation. 0.38" total now for the month. Congrats, WeatherPimp on the new job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Congrats Weatherpimp Add 1 more 90 to the tally for the summer. Should probably add several more this week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not sure about IND hitting 90º today...could be close with rain chances/clouds being a little more of a factor today. But I'm sure they'll find a way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Congratulations on your new position Brandon. I'm sure that you are going to miss storm chasing in the area, as well as this heat. It looks like the consecutive 90° strings may be in jeopardy for many Indiana locations today, with clouds and filtered sun across the state. I woke up to a combination of cirrus and altocumulus overhead. It would be a shame if this 17 day string is broken because it "only" got up to 89, especially since it looks like it will be 90+ for several more days. An interesting tidbit posted by IND this morning: PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 615 AM EDT SAT JUL 14 2012 ...ON THIS DATE IN CENTRAL INDIANA WEATHER HISTORY... 1995 A HEAT WAVE KILLS 800000 CHICKENS IN SEYMOUR...

Hoar_Frost Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Congrats, WeatherPimp, on the job! Mostly cloudy skies here this morning -- some altostratus as well as some higher-based cumulus. Current temperature is 77. There is some very light rain showing up on the radar to my west in DeKalb County, but I tend to believe that more meaningful convection across much of northern Illinois (at least) that may have been slated to occur may be squelched by insufficient daytime heating due to the relatively extensive cloud-cover present. The LOT AFD mentioned this situation, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 After some early morning rain the sun is out and its 79 outside. Been happy with the amount of rain we have picked up, 0.49" yesterday and 0.24" so far today. Picking up an inch plus is definitely looking possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been pretty much full sun here all day and the deck to the west is decaying pretty quick...coverage will probably be slim but I like my shot at another pop up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It's been a cloudy morning until 9:45 or so. Quite a bit of clear sky now, temp up to 81°. Edit: And... Had a shower this morning that raised the monthly rain total to 0.40", the same as last month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Been pretty much full sun here all day and the deck to the west is decaying pretty quick...coverage will probably be slim but I like my shot at another pop up Even here, clouds have decayed nicely, and temperature has warmed to about 85. The lake breeze might be a good focus again today, which is good for you, Alek. I also like the area from northwest Indiana down into east-central Illinois; there's an old outflow boundary evident there, and a few storms are going off there. The area in the vicinity of a surface boundary of sorts from northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin and northwest Illinois might be another area to watch, as there is a multi-cell cluster (with some linear features) already developed there. As for my area, I'm not terribly excited -- the presence of a forcing mechanism around here to break the cap just isn't as convincing as yesterday -- but we'll see.

turtlehurricane Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 CME hasn't hit yet, which puts us in a better position than if it hit early this morning as forecasted. Hopefully it hits right when the sun is going down, but solar wind is starting to heat up so maybe it's beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Nice line of storms has petered out before reaching Cedar Rapids. Just getting a bit of light rain. This is two straight days with clouds and a shower that have kept our temp down, which is nice even if we don't get squat for meaningful rain.

Chicago Storm Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 ORD has maxed out at 89 thus far... Back down to 87 as of 1PM. Clouds are increasing and a few cells are starting to develop, so it looks like it will fall just short of 90. Only the 2nd missed 90+ day of the year and the first 89, if it stands.

hm8 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 over in Pentwater, MI (west coast). Drove through a nice cu field on the way and then saw a really nice view of the storm was west of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Getting dark here quick - storms approaching from the southwest. Cell over Chicago is going pretty good. Edit - 2:45: Outflow and cooled it off to 77°, starting to rain lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlord81 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 87 @ IND. It was 89 at this time yesterday and they went up 2 more degrees. The sun should poke out for the next few hours according to vis. sat. They should get it. Intrahour maybe? With the humidity it feels hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
