Hoosier Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 lol 4 more "rounds" is a lot to ask for imo. 1 or 2 is probably more realistic but I guess I wouldn't bet against anything in this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 87 at IND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 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. 91 so far here. Didn't think we'd make it to 90 after most of the morning was socked in with clouds. Had a few showers early this morning drop 0.07" of rain. Not really enough to do anything. Had some really nice towers overhead an hour or so ago but they've moved on. Sky pretty much cloud free now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 There's a large grass fire off I-465 near Indy right now... http://www.indystar.com/article/20120714/NEWS/120714009/Grass-fire-slowing-traffic-near-465-Pendleton-Pike?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Cimg%7CIndyStar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 69mph gust in Creston Iowa a little while ago from a pulse severe storm. Pretty impressive given the lack of storm organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I actually posted that just to see how you would react. Hottest summer ever every summer with that guy. I joked earlier, but it wouldn't surprise me if he called for 100's in October this year. 4 more "rounds" is a lot to ask for imo. 1 or 2 is probably more realistic but I guess I wouldn't bet against anything in this summer. Sure, maybe. Who knows? For all intents and purposes, the summer of 1936 had four rounds of 100's at the WL COOP. However the hell you define "rounds of 100's" of course.

daddylonglegs Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Getting close to 90F (88f).... I love death ridges... I really hope this winter turns very cold and the warmistas are crying like little girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hit 93 today, still 90 now out. Some rain is on the radar to my west. Would a rain dance now help to bring it closer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Managed to crack 90° briefly today before heavier clouds and showers moved in. 0.03" of rain today. Storm popped up to my NW near Burlington, WI. Air feels thick enough tonight, to cut it with a knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Had a high of 89 today, unfortunately didn't pick up any additional rain on top of what fell earlier this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I'd be a fool to get too excited about storm prospects on Wednesday, but should have lots of instability in the presence of weak deep layer shear. Setup seems favorable for localized damaging wind/microburst potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Of corse it rains today! I just washed my ride. Horse **** pop corn useless T Storms. More drought please! Ok Ok Im just a little disheartened. No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurora Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Apparently there were a good amount of aurora across the Great Lakes before sunrise this morning. I've seen some nice pictures from the MN/WI area. Around here it was too cloudy. SW Michigan may have gotten a good show for an hour or two before dawn, but I haven't seen any pictures from that area yet. Bz went strongly negative around 06z, which was followed by widespread sightings in the Lower 48 (I've seen pictures from as far south as NW Arkansas, which is impressive).

Setup seems favorable for localized damaging wind/microburst potential. IWX mentioned that this morning. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS WITH STORMS WEDNESDAY GIVEN LARGE D CAPES...PROBABLY AS MUCH AS 1800 TO 2000 J/KG COMBINED WITH CAPES AT LEAST 2000 J/KG. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE DIURNAL TIMING FOR STRONG STORMS WEDNESDAY LOOKS FAVORABLE WITH GENERALLY A LATE AFTERNOON FROPA. That is, IF anything develops. They also mentioned the possibility of hitting 100 both Tuesday and Wednesday, especially south of Fort Wayne on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoar_Frost Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My location squeaked a 90 yesterday (31st day AOA 90 this year, fourth in a row). Today, it's been up to 93 so far, which is the 32nd day this year AOA 90 and the fifth in a row. Should be able for sure to add two more to both tallies Monday and Tuesday and possibly beyond depending upon timing of the cold front and how strong the cool-down is afterward.

Geos Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Squeaked out 90° just, like yesterday. Lake breeze taking the temp back down into the 80s. Too bad the breeze couldn't set off more t-storms today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Don't want to get ahead of myself too much...but there is a good chance that Chicago will see a Top 5 warmest July. In fact, the extremely rare 80.0+ monthly mean temp is possible, if this general pattern continues for a couple more weeks. July 1-14, 2012: Mean temp 82.5 Top 5 warmest Julys: (1) 81.3 - 1955 (2) 81.2 - 1921 (3) 79.0 - 2011 (4) 78.5 - 1977 (5) 78.5 - 1916 Note: July 2009 was the 7th coldest July on record (2nd coldest since 1892), with a mean temp of 69.4.
