wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Looks like an outflow/pneumonia front is racing down the Lake Michigan shoreline, Sheboygan dropped from 98 to 79 in 2 hours Of course the outflow boundary can race towards us but never the storms. At least we will finally cool off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Storms N of MKE trying to push south...def worth watching for the MKE crew and maybe far NE IL but that's a real long shot Showers are starting to pop up down here by me, the Cu are starting to look a lot better.

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 OFB clearly moving through right now. Turned really gusty about five minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Down to 85.8F after being upper 90s prior to the outflow boundary moving through. I guess if we're not going to have any storms anyway, having an outflow boundary in addition to a cold front moving through later will satisfy. At least we don't have to suffer any longer.

cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Feeling pretty good about rain chances over the next several days. The boundary looks to stall out and waffle back and forth over the area. That combined with little vorts riding the heat ridge should get some nice storm clusters going. Hopefully the boundary meanders around enough to give us all good rains.

Chicago WX Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 IND can't buy one. Nice little flare up of cells, but east/northeast of the airport. It's becoming comical. And sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 OFB clearly moving through right now. Turned really gusty about five minutes ago. MKE down to 83, a 16 degree temp drop from the last observation. Also reported a 44mph wind gust Most exciting weather event all summer lol Edit: Down to 77 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also reported a 44mph wind gust Most exciting weather event all summer lol No kidding, our spring this year was basically a nice cool stormy summer, but our summer has been a Las Vegas-like summer. Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen a comment "Squall" in the local hourly obs, but Milwaukee had it due to the gusty winds from the OFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's really hauling since I looked at it at 5:15.! Will be in here quicker then the NAM predicted at 9pm. 101° I think, today. Edit: Yeah that was the high. Low 77° so far...

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A microcell popped up just west of here. Between the outflow boundary, any rain, and the coldfront which is yet to go through, I'll bet our low will bust, perhaps significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Outflow boundary is just nuts...still flying SW ...I see its made it as far back as Tomah... NW winds here now a few hours, but temp still 98F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Marine warnings on southern Lake Michigan for that strong outflow boundary. Hope it can continue to fire some storms. Nice t storm developing nw of Portage WI and storms firng now in northern IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Front just made it here. 94° just before the passage, down to 88° in under 5 minutes. 76° now at Carthage College in Kenosha. < 1 hr after frontal passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Outflow boundary moving Southward out of the thumb, that will probably hurt what little severe storm chances we had around here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Watched the outflow boundary come in on Lake Mendota, the difference in the surface roughness was easy to follow as it progressed across the lake, also sailboats were going horizontal as it hit them. Very gusty winds just after the passage, probably upwards of 30 mph in the gusts, and the temp fall was quick. Down to 85 °F from 99 °F in minutes.

stormtrackertf Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 At least the storms in mid-Michigan and the thumb seem to be holding together all right. It would be wonderful if those could train over the area for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I was spotting in SW Huntington Co earlier on the storm that was severe issued in Wabash and Miami Cos. Wasn't severe, but lots of heavy rain and lightning! I got a free truck wash. Here are the radar estimated totals. Once again, Huntington got blanked, but outlying areas (beans and corn) got some much-needed rain, 1" + in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
