Powerball Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Mid-level clouds were a lot more passive than I expected. There was quite a bit of dry air to mix into JUST above the level the clouds were located. The crap from the MCS should be kept at bay as well. fifth day of 90*F+ temps, 91*F now.

Geos Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Been sitting in the lower 80s since the outflow boundary pushed through. Lake breeze seemed to increase as the thunderstorms moved on by. Was at 86° at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Made it to 92 here. Same for MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Likely would have made it into the mid-90's today if not for that MCS. Similar to Friday...though in this case it was able to hit 90+ before it moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 76º/64º at LAF at 5:00pm. Ticked 90º at 1:00pm, but it's been on a downward slide since the storms barely missed here earlier...but the overcast has remained. Really comfortable right now. Meanwhile, about 90 miles south...Terre Haute sitting at 102º. Thank you clouds/outflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts are it hasn't been that bad here the past couple of days...thanks to the storms. Also proof, one shouldn't hug model 2m temps...even from the mighty Euro.

I'd say most days will be in the mid/upper 90's with maybe a low 90 and a 100 thrown in somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I had a nice pool day at my friends planned for today, that got sorta ruined by the overcast. I actually wanted it hot and sunny.

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 NAM sure has been running hot this year. Don't remember it being that way last year, but maybe I just don't remember. 18z run has us at 100/100/102 for tomorrow through Wednesday. Not gonna happen. Probably more like 92-95.

NittanyWx Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 the corn here about 20 miles north of Indianapolis is starting to tassel. It looks to be about 3 or 4 feet high. The heat kills the pollen's ability to fertilize. I remember that in 1988 when it finally did rain in mid-July, the first drops were so hot that they produced scalded spots on the corn leaves. My kids detasseled that year and the seed corn came in under average yields but the rain saved a part of that crop. When it gets very hot and dry the blooms on the soybeans just fall off without being pollinated. And that is the farm report for today! Did the standing crop suffer wind damage from the derecho? You guys were right on the border of some of those stronger storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We had about ~60mph winds here, and driving around the county yesterday, I didn't see any obvious crop damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I can already tell this week will be brutal. It's 80/70 right now, humidity absolutely terrible this morning All the more reason we need an MCS to develop for S Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We had about ~60mph winds here, and driving around the county yesterday, I didn't see any obvious crop damage. Same here. Most of the corn around here is stunted compared to normal years and therefore is less susceptible to damage from high winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
