wisconsinwx Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 good job by the euro disintegrating the rain as it nears mke/lake Yes, are you talking about the overnight light rain or tomorrow's chances? Either way, everything is disintegrating as it nears us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Doubt temps will go far today...still looks like a few warm ones before the Euro shows a nice cool down. Would DIE for 2 weeks of low 70Fs in August... 50Fs at nite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 rain going on now upstream. I honestly don't know how we average as much rain as we do. Takes a monumental event like July 22, 2010 to counter the scant rain years like this one may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 A much needed 0.14" of rain in Milwaukee. In other news, that is quite the persistent squall line that is now moving through Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Got some drizzle going on now. 72. The rain reached the lake here so it's not the lakes fault its not reaching Milwaukee. Hoping for a little more rain today. Almost 2/3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Meh, rain band has dissipated . Actually had some pretty decent gusts as it fell apart. Sitting at 75 right now, looks like a chance of sprinkles the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 A nice pleasant 77 at 3pm. Dewpoint are lower than earlier. High was just after 12am @ 81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We will probably not see any more rain until the NE winds shift. That seems to have been the issue this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Since the rains missed we're still at a paltry 0.55" for July. Ended up making it back to 90 this afternoon. MLI has at least 91 so far. Outflow combined with debris clouds kept us cooler today. Actually felt cooler than it was due to the recent heat. Tomorrow looks absolutely sick. 850 temps forecast by the NAM to exceed 27°C by afternoon, deep mixing, extremely dry soil, and an incoming cold front should maximize heating potential. I'm thinking 105-106 for MLI, but wouldn't be surprised to see a few of the hotter AWOS sites around (like Muscatine) give 107-108 a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 High here today was 85. Tomorrow could be very interesting in terms of heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It quite comfortable outside this evening, 75/62 right now. Had a high of 83 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Really nice night out! Good enough to turn the AC off for awhile. So far this July I've picked up 3.48" of rain - 3.06" since last Wednesday PM. Things have greened up enough to make it seem a drought isn't going on. Soil is wet to the touch, so I'm not sure how hot it will actually be tomorrow. Thinking mid 90s is a good guess.

KeenerWx Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Had some intermittent thunder for the past two hours or so. At first I had no idea what the sound was, but then I checked the radar and saw some slow moving cells near IKK. The cells themselves reached this vacinity near sunrise, but they quickly fell apart and offered not one drop of rain. However, the cloud debris from the dying storms sure helped paint an amazing sunrise this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would love to see this record broken! Wonder what the dews were during the day. Must have been low given the swing in temp. The old LCDs from NCDC often gave three hourly temperature and relative humidity readings, so you could figure out the dew points from that. On July 24, 1934, the 8 AM temperature and humidity was 76 and 68%, the noon readings were 98 and 27%, and the 8PM readings were 99 and 25%. This would correspond to dewpoints of 65, 58, and 57 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 La Crosse is @ 80.7F for the month (avg temp) The record from 1936 is 79.5F... Its going to be close (today should help) with the cool off later this week/weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is interesting ... Top 5 warmest July's on record for Milwaukee, WI: 1 ... 79.5F (thru 7/24) ... 2012 2 ... 79.2F ... 1921 3 ... 76.6F ... 2010 4 ... 76.5F ... 2011 5 ... 76.4F ... 1991 Notice the last 3 years are all in the top 5, lol. Records date back to 1871. Natural warming cycle, weird coincidence or global warming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Records date back to 1871. Natural warming cycle, weird coincidence or global warming? Id say coincidence, as Im sure July 2009 is somewhere in Milwaukees top 5 coldest. Julys this century have often been in the record books for Detroit, whos records date to 1871 (top 20 rankings noted, bolded). Its been a pretty decent mix of above and below normal. 2000 - 10th coldest 2001 - warmer than avg 2002 - 10th hottest 2003 - cooler than avg 2004 - cooler than avg 2005 - warmer than avg 2006 - 14th hottest 2007 - cooler than avg 2008 - cooler than avg 2009 - 3rd coldest 2010 - 9th hottest 2011 - 1st hottest 2012 - ???

cyclone77 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Not overly optimistic on significant rainfall tonight here. Cold front is a long ways away. Looks like we may end up with a decaying line of storms at best late tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 agree...i'm at the point where i hope it slows down enough to make tomorrow interesting. LOT discussion mentions the front firing off new activity tomorrow. THURSDAY... FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY PUSHES OVERHEAD AND APPEARS TO LOSE SOME MOMENTUM...THUS IT IS EXPECTED THIS BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS THE CWFA. THE MAIN SFC LOW PASSES NORTHEAST INTO LOWER MI ARND DAYBREAK THUR. THUS EXPECT THE DAY WILL BEGIN WITH A FOCUS ON THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION REGENERATING LATE MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE EARLY AFTN HOURS AS A SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIDES ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH A BETTER PUSH SOUTHEAST ARRIVING MIDDAY. THE FOCAL POINT FOR CONVECTION DURING THE MORNING HOURS WILL BE ON THE QUICK SFC HEATING THAT WILL OCCUR WITH A DECENT THERMAL DIFFERENTIAL EXISTING ACROSS THE CWFA...FOCUSED IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE BOUNDARY WITH INCREASED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE LEADING EDGE. WITH THE 850MB THERMAL RIDGE PEELING OFF TO THE EAST AND THE 500MB RIDGE FLATTENING...COUPLED WITH A LLVL JET OF 30-40KTS...FORWARD SPEED OF ANY CONVECTION COULD BE ACCELERATING IN THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTN HOURS AND AID IN PUSHING THE FRONTAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
