gimmesnow Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Did the standing crop suffer wind damage from the derecho? You guys were right on the border of some of those stronger storms. I have not seen a lot of damage around here--mostly just stalks at the edge of a field being bent over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Some smoke streaking across the skies right now high in the atmosphere. Already giving the sun a reddish tint even though it's still 45min from sunset. DVN mentioned the possibility of the smoke coming out of the Rockies possibly taking a few degrees off highs the next few days, but it's difficult to say how much of an impact it will have. We didn't have any smoke all day until this evening, so it's hard to predict how it will evolve tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The dews sure shot up this evening from eastern Iowa through northern Illinois and northern Indiana. Lots of mid 70s. Definitely feels a bit muggier than earlier today. Temps still holding well into the 80s. ORD still 89 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurora Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Nice bonus storm basically popped up right over my house. Fun to see the radar go from nothing to 50 dBZ in 15 minutes or so.

daddylonglegs Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So are the temps by our screen names ever going to work again? Does that have to do with the NWS redo? Weird...temps early this morning only dropped to 76F, but winds turned out of the north and dew points crashed...down to 60F now... I thought it felt really nice out there this morning. Bonus@! Sucks that WU was sold...i really like that site. Hopefully the TWC doesn't screw with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I would honestly be a little more thrilled about these t'storms had they come through late last night or late this afternoon. Now not only could our 90*F+ day be shot, but there may not be any severe weather to show for it. Worst possible scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Fixed Uhhh, no... First off, I saw about an inch of rain here myself with some crazy lightning (more coming through now). Second, I'm a weather hobbiest, and I like to experience the extremities of the weather. If the stoms held off to about PM this afternoon with highs in the mid-90s, I would be perfectly happy. IF they am through severe this morning without the 90*F+ temps, I'd be perfectly happy. If it made it into the 90s without any convection, I'd be happy. What happened instead? After 6th onscutiv days of 90*F+ temps and no severe weather to show fo it, while originally forecasted to tie the all-time record, we get non-sever t'stoms at the worst possible time of day with tons of cloud debris, effectively shooting the chance of seeing severe weather or breaking the all-time consecutive 90*F (especially with outlow-laden temps in the low-mid 70s at 10 AM, I've never seen temps recover to 90*F+ under ths circumstances), even if we have four more 90*F+ days after this.

aurora Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The actual storm may miss me just to the south (which is not a big deal, it looks rather weak on radar), but there has been nearly constant rolling thunder here for the last 15 minutes. Pretty neat, and this is already one of the stormiest days of the year here thus far (with the potential for 1-2 more rounds later in the day).

Hoosier Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Today's 12Z Euro looks wonderful for next week. Goodbye heat. Consistent signals for the intense heat to break down and the ridge to retreat farther west. I'm not sure it's a particularly cool pattern but it will feel a lot cooler than what we've been in.

SpartyOn Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Not a good sign of a new ridge popping out west. We need a flatter, more zonal pattern. We know now whats happens in this pattern when a ridge pops in the west like that. This pattern repeats itself in 2 week cycles it seems. Heat will be back.

Heat will be back. A lot of the years with big hot spells around this time had additional intense ones later in July/August and even September in some cases. Maybe not enough evidence to bet the farm on but I'd lean that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Interesting little tidbit from the DVN squad.... DEW POINTS HAVE BEEN INTERESTING. TODAY AND YESTERDAY DEW POINTS HAVE RISEN DURING THE DAY AND THEN DROPPED AT NIGHT. THE ONLY EXPLANATION THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THIS OCCURRING IS CORN. ONCE THE SUN COMES UP THE CORN STARTS TO ACTIVELY EVAPOTRANSPIRATE. WITH SUNSET THE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION SHUTS DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
