Geos Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 74° with mostly cloudy skies. Seems to be a lot of cloud debris moving into the region from the WSW. Low of 70° this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well most of the short term hi res models are now showing the potential for storms like SPC is indicating. I was surprised when SPC pulled the slight risk, but it looks like it might be warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 New SPC Day 1 outlook now increases hail and wind probs to 30% in Eastern Wisconsin and part of the UP, while expanding the slight risk into Northern Illinois. Might be able to use a severe thread for this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 22nd 90+ of the month today. Slight chance of rain early this evening, but it looks like the best chances will be northeast of us once again. Looks like another long string of 90+ days beginning with today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight chance of rain early this evening, but it looks like the best chances will be northeast of us once again. Looks like another long string of 90+ days beginning with today. I really hope you get some rain down there in NW Illinois. I know you need it much more than we do now (although most of the Midwest still needs it to some degree). I would have to think the ring of fire pattern, if it continues, starts to shift south a bit, as it already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 90F/70F here...another 90'er in the bag. When we finally get that 70F day...man that is going to feel like heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Using VERY conservative numbers for tomorrow (high of 80*F, low of 60*F), July 2012 will be a top 3 warmest for Detroit, at least technically. Using more realistic numbers, it'll probably, at the very least, tie for the 2nd warmest July on record (right behind 2011), as 1955 and 1921 are both listed at 79*F, or tied for 2nd place. Amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 High 86° here - typical late July day. Tomorrow looks cooler with NE winds. 35th day of 80s! - can't say the same for 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Of Reason Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The forecast for today was about 100 degrees. I think we only got up to 86 today under mostly cloudy conditions, with a few showers in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Still sitting just above the all time record for July...today should keep us above it... Tomorrow looks warm enough also so we should have an all time warmest July for La Crosse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Today was #36 AOA 90 here. Should be over 40 by the weekend. Next 5 days in the point are 91/92/91/90/92. That last figure (Sat) could easily be more like 96-100 if the last few runs of the Euro are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks to the clear skies still overhead, I just saw a meteor streak across the sky from SE to NW into Wisconsin at about 10:55pm. It was as bright as the moon is shining and appeared quite low in the sky. ... Still 79° out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 68/65 right now after a low of 67, picked up 0.45" of rain from the thunderstorms. July will finish with 3.86" of rain which is 0.53" above normal. Even more impressive since we went the first half of the month without any rain.

cyclone77 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 With the storms missing us to the northeast (again) early this morning, we'll finish July at 0.73". The normal value is a little over 4". Iowa City will finish with a paltry 0.26". Dubuque and Moline both with 0.45", and Cedar Rapids with only a little over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm in Kankakee right now, and just had a nice thunderstorm roll through this morning with pea size hail. 0.70" of rainfall as well. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Warmest July on record in Columbus, and 2nd warmest in Cleveland. Climate records date to 1869 at Columbus, and 1871 in Cleveland.

hm8 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What would dtw need to do today to make this the warmest July on record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What would dtw need to do today to make this the warmest July on record? Not happening. DTW needs a high of 104 to tie the record via rounding or a high of 107 to actually tie the 79.306 record set last summer. This July will likely come in tied for second hottest.

SpartyOn Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This July was toasty. But nothing compares to the heat wave of July 2011. That was a keynote event IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This July was toasty. But nothing compares to the heat wave of July 2011. That was a keynote event IMO. The biggest difference this year versus 2011 was that the nights were a little cooler, thanks to how dry the start of the month was. Last year, the average low by July's end was 69.3, where as this year it was 68.4*F as of yesterday. In terms of actual daytime heat, one could argue this year was worse, because we had a lot more days of extreme heat than 2011 (3 100*F+ days versus one day last year, only 2 97*F+ days in 2011 versus 5 this year). However, this July did have one day with a sub 80*F+ high, where as 2011 had none. In fact, this year's average high as of yesterday is 89.7*F, versus 89.3*F in 2011. All in all, I'd say 2011 and 2012 are about tied in terms of how keynote the July heat was. But if you factor in how hot this spring has been (March and May were top 5 warmest on record, some would say this summer started in March, lol), and how much hotter the start of this summer was (June was a top 10 warmest), this year gets the edge over 2010 and 2011, even if August only ends up around normal.

Brewers Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Gorgeous day today, 77 right now with a brisk NE wind off the lake. Milwaukee will end up with the 2nd warmest July on record. By the way Wisconsin has only had 2 confirmed tornadoes through the first 7 months, that's the second lowest ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
