Indystorm Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Got up to 102 in Goshen and we've now dropped back to a cooling 101. Gonna watch those storms in MI and new cells popping in ne WI ahead of the MCS to hope they can turn down the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Stuck at 102F...dew point dropped to 67F God...I really wish the dew point was around 80F... Went outside and sprayed my roof with the hose....she was steaming good and the water coming out of the gutter would probably to hot to take a shower in... 73F in my living room..like mother nature intended.

LizardMafia Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 A no doubter. I admire the historical/meteorological aspect of this...but this kind of weather can bite me. Seriously awful. Only have a few more days of heat at least (for now).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 One map is right and one's off - here another one. A lot of those 80°+ readings will disappear after we return to normal over the weekend. The lake breezes off Lake Superior always pack a punch! Update: Steady at 102° at the 4pm reading. They won't drop back that much especially since normal is in the mid 80s during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 That has to be close to record high mins. If the site was where it was in 1916 (when the all-time record high min occurred) I'm sure there would be a new record high min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna watch those storms in MI and new cells popping in ne WI ahead of the MCS to hope they can turn down the lake. 12z NAM doesn't shows MCS moving down the lake but it is showing two outflow boundaries making their way down the lake early tomorrow. Could throw a wrench into the highs up this way at least. 102° will be it for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went 102/104/105 there for today/Thu/Fri. The thing that's really getting my interest now is Saturday. The 12z NAM wants to give them upper 100's.

Hoosier Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 ^This. Chicago city officials are really worried about tomorrow due to the cumulative heat effects on people. 4 deaths have been blamed on the heat so far in the area. There was a study done after 1995 and it found that the fatalities really started ramping up after the 3rd day of high heat. Max air temps look similar to 1995 but dew points and thus heat indices look to be lower. That in combination with a city that should be much better prepared hopefully means that the death toll stays relatively low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I had called for MLI to hit 99/102/100 today through Friday, but after today's 96 there I'm thinking they might not make 100 this whole heat wave. 101 here for the high today, 100 in Sterling.

frostfern Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Jealous! Enjoy that nice air! Good thing it doesn't get that hot there, most don't have AC. 101° here now, dewpoints steady. Cumulus starting to flare off now. It's only 68 here in Seattle. Seattle does get heat waves but they're generally short lived. It hit 104 back in July of 1999 while I was here. Dewpoints crept up into the middle 60s at night and a lot of people were complaining mightily about the humidity. Don't know if it actually hit 100 in GRR. Looks like the obs hovered around 99 for two whole hours this afternoon. It would be the first time hitting the century mark since 1988. That's quite an accomplishment with a west wind off the lake. That cell that popped up over Mecosta produced 2.75" hail just after the air temperature hit 100 degree. That is messed up! I would've loved to see that.

michsnowfreak Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 DTW maxed out at 102F, becoming the 35th time on record Detroit has hit 100F. However, its a much smaller list of 102F+ 105F – July 25, 1934 104F – Aug 6, 1918 104F – June 28, 1934 104F – July 8, 1936 104F – July 14, 1936 104F – June 25, 1988 102F – July 9, 1936 102F – July 10, 1936 102F – July 13, 1936 102F – July 15, 1977 102F – July 16, 1988 102F - July 4, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow is iffy, could have some early morning convection and/or convective debris from the complex over the UP, so temps may rise slowly in the morning compared to today. If full sunshine is obtainable most of the morning/afternoon, upper 90s to around100 looks possible by mid-afternoon before new convection potentially develops. Otherwise, 93-96 looks more probable if dealing with more in the way of morning convective debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
