Hoar_Frost Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 strong storms are in the forecast tonight into tomorrow...things roll in off the alps, pretty cool stuff. I'm wondering if the Alps function the same way as the Rockies here in North America by providing an elevated heat source, which, in turn, provides a catalyst for storm formation. (That there is the reason why the American Great Plains are what they are in terms of tornadoes and severe weather.) I doubt that an Alps analogue is as impressive as or exactly the same as the Rockies, but it might apparently be enough to spawn MCSs. I may need to look into this. Enjoy your trip -- I've always wanted to travel to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The high here today was 87, which overachieved by a few degrees on NWS and other reliable forecasts. I believe my next 90, probably to occur tomorrow or Monday, will be #39 on the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fickle Heights Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I picked up 0.05" yesterday for a total of 1.14" for July so far here. It's tough going through my CoCoRaHS records for July 2010 and seeing all those 0.50" and 1"+ entries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 What's the average high there at this time of year? At UGN it is 80°/62°, average temps start their descent on the 30th. I would imagine your average high is around 85° right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 62º at LAF at 1:00am. Last time we had a min temp below 60º was about a month ago on June 27. Though LAF did get close with a low of 60º on July 21. Not that any of this is unusual (min temps below 60º in summer), but in this summer...

Geos Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 84, down from a peak of 85. Actually, the average peaks at 81° between the 8th-16th. Seems like the newer 1981-2010 peak averages are more in the middle of July instead of the 20th-31st period. ... 63° here tonight - actually feels chilly to what it's been.

KokomoWX Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 A "normal" morning here in the LAF with a min temp of 63º (normal for July 28 is 64º). Also, I want to wish a happy birthday to our own KokomoWX. Thanks. Happy birthday Jim. Are you shooting pictures at the Brickyard this weekend? Thanks. No Brickyard. I am not a fan so I declined the credential application. I also dislike the heat and no way would I take a chance on a 100+ degree race day. MET has us getting down to 56 tonight. IND calling for 60. And yes, happy birthday to Kokomo. Thanks. I did enjoy my day organizing the bike barn at home. The big bike clamp is necessary since I own two recumbent bikes.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 This latest disturbance was forecast to produce a decent widespread rain across eastern Iowa, but it turned into yet another pathetic dud. I only received a trace and many other locations received less than a tenth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Today should end up being a negative departure day for LAF given the cool overnight low. We'd have to hit 93 to cancel out the low which doesn't appear likely. This will be the first negative day for LAF this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 A nice cool morning low of 61° today. Was great for sleeping last night. Up to 82° at 11:30 with some clouds streaming in from the west. You can really see where the "Ring of Fire" pattern has been as is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
