Chicago Storm Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Euro is slowing the front a bit. It slowed it enough for a 100+ day for the Chicago and Detroit areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The light winds today make me think ORD will not hit 104+...it's begging for a lake breeze to form. The question is around timing...does it happen by 1 PM, or 3 PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 DTW: Sunny and hot, with a high near 102. Heat index values as high as 112. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm. DTW currently at 93/72/101 94/75/105 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The light winds today make me think ORD will not hit 104+...it's begging for a lake breeze to form. The question is around timing...does it happen by 1 PM, or 3 PM? A very slow moving lake breeze has already formed...Shows up well on OBS and radar. Seems likely that it won't make it to ORD until after 1PM...and by then it might not even matter given high temps the past two days have occured before 2PM.

Hoosier Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 At this point I'd probably be more concerned about the higher dews slowing the heating at ORD than the lake breeze. You almost wonder if tomorrow has a chance to outperform today (especially if the front slows just a hair more) as models have somewhat lower dews and the start should be at least as warm as this morning.

The NAM has had tomorrow being warmer than today for several runs now for parts of northern IL. With temps into the mid 100's by 18z tomorrow.

kab2791 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I could easily see ORD and DTW reaching their highest temps tomorrow. We will be very warm in the morning, so temps could approach upper 90s to around 100 by 11AM across many areas, and great mixing ahead of the front should allow for the highest temps seen during this heatwave. 105 for ORD and 104 for DTW could very well be obtainable.

Hoosier Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looks like Northerly Island didn't drop below 87 last night. NAM 2m temps, which did well last night at ORD, don't have temps dropping below 84 at ORD tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman_ind Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 100 at IND Same as it was at this time yesterday. Maybe we're going to end up the same as yesterday. I was hoping to get closer to the all time record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Does ORD tag it's 4th 100 tomorrow before the front? It's going to be a race thats for sure. Both the NAM and Skilling's RPM say it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 ORD is up to 100...which breaks the record for the date (99 - 1988). This is 2F behind yesterday at this time. This is the 4th 100+ day this year, which makes 2012 tied with 1934, 1947 and 1953 for 2nd most 100+ days in a year on record (Record: 7 - 1988). This is also the 3rd consecutive 100+ day, which ties for the most consecutive on record with 7/3-5/1911 and 8/4-6/1947. Edit: Intra-hour 101 so far.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to check again I guess. Didn't seem like it was moving very fast. Lake breeze has only moved 3.9 miles since 10:15AM. The pace has stayed consistent, so it likely won't make it to ORD until after 2PM at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
