tornadotony Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Downtown (Northerly Island) Chicago is up to 94 at 9:35 AM. 100 by 1030 AM anyone? Yeesh. ORD and MDW running a dead heat at 92 (+6 and +4 from 9:55 AM yesterday, respectively), UGN 94 (+9), PWK at 93 (+6), GYY at 91 (+5), and DPA and IGQ at 90 (+7 and +6) at 9:55 AM.

tornadotony Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Unreal temps for 10am 91/71 here. Yeah these temp/dew combos so early in the morning are starting to breech toward 1995 territory, they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yeah these temp/dew combos so early in the morning are starting to breech toward 1995 territory, they really are. Not so much, Tony, check back on the obs, the dewpoints back then were a good 8-10F higher than this, upper 70s and lower 80s. I believe MDW's Td got up to 83. Hot? Yes. Humid? Rather. 1995? Not even close IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I think one of the most impressive aspects of this heat wave is the longevity of it. Many locations around the Midwest are on day 7-8 in a row with 90+ degree temps. Looks like several more to go as well. To string this many hot days in a row around here is pretty rare.

kevlon62 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hot out there for sure with 93/68 at McHenry weatherbug. Going to try for a quick walk out in a local wooded park. We'll see how long we last. Only recompense is the lack of insects with the drought. Incidentally, I met the McHenry County ems director a few weeks ago and am going to work like heck with him to see if we can get an AWOS here at the county seat in Woodstock.

I believe MDW's Td got up to 83. Hot? Yes. Humid? Rather. 1995? Not even close IMO. True. I went back and looked at Ken Labas' writeup about the event. It's a good read for anyone interested in extreme heat. It's probably somewhat lucky that it's been dry lately across the Midwest. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lot/science/jul1395/jul1395.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just checked wunderground data for ORD and it's running as warm as or warmer than all 100+ days as of 10AM dating back to 1988. It really doesn't mean much given the difference in mixing/UA temps/DP's/clouds/precip for each day, but it's something interesting to look at. Two of the top benchmarks for the Noon OBS are 100 and 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just go to the bottom and copy the monthly table into excel. All you need to do is the sum of all the highs + lows / divide by 2 and divide by number of days in month. It takes like 30 seconds. But to be a bit cautious, I have noticed that sometimes wunderground omits the 6 hour high/low temp occasionally for the non major climate sites. So sometimes those intra hour highs and lows get left out. But I've only noticed this on a few occasions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Up to 94/72 here. This thread will be fun to look back on next January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Cedar Rapids(CID) is currently running 6 degrees ahead of yesterday(high was 95). The dewpoint is also a few degrees lower than yesterday, currently 67. I'd love to see CR hit 100 for the first time since '95. Of course, on the 100 degree July day in '95 the dewpoint was 80, so today won't be nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I wasn't so sure we'd make a valiant run at 100F today, but I guess we will. Already 96F with a heat index of 102. Middleton and Monroe already 99F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMidwest Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 98 @ Rockford @ 11:00P.M. Middleton and Janesville are at 98.6 which makes them technically at 99 because of rounding.. Dewpoints are dropping too in this S Wis/N IL corridor, which should help aid warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Latest LOT discussion just out mentions that the lake breeze may not make it to shore before 23z. That could allow places like Waukegan and Kenosha to easily top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 There is a decent size area of 75-76 degree dews pooling over northern IL, just south of Rockford. Will be interesting to see if this advects into Rockford and impacts temps there. Dews just north from Rockford into southern WI are much lower.

IWXwx Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Up to 94/72 here. This thread will be fun to look back on next January. I agree. This will seem unreal in January. Widespread mid 90's at noon (11am your time). 96/68 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magoos0728 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 97 at Kenosha....100 is well within reach and I'm making 105 my Hi prediction for today. Not sure why its saying 92? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
