Chicago WX Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I probably shouldn't have mocked TWC's forecast for LAF. 105 or 106 is probably within reason for here, considering we are running three degrees ahead of yesterday through 10:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I wonder if Columbus has a chance at it's record(106F)? The NWS is calling for 105. Was 101 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Front apparently came through CR a few hours ago, but it is now dead calm outside and our temp/dew are 2/3 degrees ahead of yesterday. Each day of this heat wave CR has been a degree or two ahead of the previous day. Front was right at Waterloo's doorstep at 9am. Still north of Dubuque and a little south of Madison. Temps should rocket upwards the next few hours with the incoming front. EDIT: Winds will go from west or northwest to north or northeast behind the cool front.

Hoar_Frost Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's going to be soooooo close at ORD for getting to 100. 97 at the 1451z ob. It appears that the boundary has just passed PWK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 IND 96 +3 on yesterday We just bumped to 99 in DC (DCA). Our record is also 106, so we are pulling for you guys too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Already 96 at Rockford, 3 degrees ahead of yesterday when they hit 104. Front should hold off there for a few more hrs. Looks like the front is going through ORD right now on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 97/70/104 at Goshen at 11 am EDT. The front can't make it here soon enough to suit me. Too bad it will probably come through dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Front passed through a little while ago. Not too bad outside @ 77°. Was 84° at 7am before the front passed. Skilling had the right idea with the forecast today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Just passed ORD. Needed another hour... Midway was a degree behind ORD at 10am, and look to have about another half hour before boundary hits. Be interesting to see if they achieve 100 there. I'm guessing they will. Seems a bit more humid here this morning than yesterday. May start to see the dews begin to pool up pretty good over the next few hours just ahead of this slow moving front. Could make for some awful heat index values later this afternoon, similar to 6/28. Sitting at 94/75 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 DTW back down to 95*F as of 5PM (albeit with a swampy 74*F dew). I really thought 100 was a given today. Guess not. No reason to think tomorrow will perform any better unless I'm missing something. The record to beat is a degree higher tomorrow as well (101F, also from 1988). There is no doubt about it, Detroits numbers have been way less impressive than areas JUST to our south and west. This heatwave is not even CLOSE to 1936 here. But it still feels sickening outside. Right now 93F at DTW but 75F in MBS. Relief in sight! This heatwave in its entirety at DTW. Officially the heatwave was only June 27-July 2, one of 24 heatwaves on record to last 6 or more days. Even though by FAR the most oppressive days were 7/4 and 7/6 (and maybe today) those sadly arent even an official heatwave Any record highs tied or broken, or record high mins tied or broken, bolded in red below. Thus far, just one lone record has been established, and that was the high of 102F on July 4th. 6/27: 90/60 6/28: 99/67 6/29: 94/69 6/30: 95/68 7/01: 93/66 7/02: 94/67 7/03: 85/72* 7/04: 102/71 7/05: 86/69* 7/06: 98/74 7/07: ? 7/08: ITS OVER!!! *indicates clouds/convection made forecast highs bust some 10-12F.

beavis1729 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Just passed ORD. Needed another hour... Not sure how reliable or useful hourly record temps are...but I imagine the 97 at ORD is an all-time "10:00 AM" record max for Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's pretty sick. The ol' 10/10 rule would have had them at 107 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 DETROIT CITY SUNNY 85 73 67 W7 29.89S HX 91 6HR MIN TEMP: 81; 6HR MAX TEMP: 85 DETROIT MOSUNNY 84 73 69 SW6 29.91R HX 90 6HR MIN TEMP: 78; 6HR MAX TEMP: 84; Detroit hadnt even come close to any record warm mins this entire heat spell, but todays 78F would break the daily record of 76F, however it should get cooler than that before 1159pm. Heatwaves in recent years, with humidity, not to mention UHI, have been much more impressive with gawdy overnight lows than at any point during this one.

cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Boundary went through Midway between 10:40-10:45am, which gave them about 40-45min more time than ORD. Probably gonna have to wait till 18z to see how hot they got between the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 99 at LAF, not doing too bad today.. Bad is relative. It's truly hellish. Like a nightmare. Regardless, 106 is my number for LAF today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 94 in CR, two degrees ahead of yesterday when we maxed at 99, but the temp stall is now just nw of CR. I think we may stop in the 96-98 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
