WestMichigan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Am I even allowed to post in this thread if I only hit 90 today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even after the recalibration of the YIP station it's still running an average of 2-4 degrees higher. Downsloping and some sort of micro climate are having an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running near the top in the state with HUF and IND today. Call it the Bermuda Triangle of Indiana if you will. Guess it shouldn't be too surprising. All things being equal, temps should trend warmer as you move from south to north given that the core of the thermal ridge is farther north. Of course all things aren't equal though given clouds, differences in recent rain amounts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, congrats on another 100º day. 12 to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Today is the 7th 100+ day for LAF, which surpasses the total from the infamous summer of 1988. 2012 is now tied with 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's not that unreal to assume we will get a few more shots at high intensity heat as we head into August and even early Sep. September 2nd last year sticks out like a sore thumb it was 98-100 across the region. I also remember a few good August roasters and heat waves.

Chicago WX Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 HUF sitting at 102 at 5:00pm. IND 101, LAF 99. Those are your top 3 in Indiana at the top of the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Only been up to 93 here. Clouds did us in for sure -- though a late-day rally for something higher is not entirely out of the question, as there is good clearing west of I-39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Looks like we came up just shy today. Still at least tied or broke a record, but there's something special about those magical triple-digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would have rather had a 100 degree reading than just breaking the old 98. This mornings precip muted the heat and tamed the air mass.

cyclone77 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 As impressive as the heat has been this summer, it pales in comparison to what was seen in the 30s at MLI. Just goes to show in particular how incredible 1936 was. Also, 1988 had 11 100+ days. Got a long ways to go to achieve that. What's interesting is the most (6) happened in August that year...

I knew that little shower/cloud cover before 10am would keep us below 100 but still its hotter then a mother yrucker outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
