Hoosier Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ya, mines dropped to 89. Heat wave is over until further notice. The Euro has been trying to build a big ridge back out in the plains and then slowly move it east with time. Sounds like a familiar pattern. At the moment though it doesnt look like anything extreme in the next week or so at least. Hoosier may be starting another heat thread to start August though cause Im sure we will have our fair share. Yeah, looks like another surge possible around then. I'm tired of starting heat threads...someone else can have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoar_Frost Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well, I started a new thread for the possible re-building of the ridge and heat into our region next week. It remains to be seen whether the thread will be needed, but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like Chicago just barely missed out on a sneaky 12:00 AM 90* reading... 89* at 11:51 and 12:51. Still could hit 90 today but it'll be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still could hit 90 today but it'll be close. Not necessarily -- it could have ebbed even just a couple of tenths of a degree during that hour and hit 90. Won't know for sure until 12z. Otherwise, yes, it will be very close during the afternoon for a 90 though that depends upon how tonight's situation evolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, these won't hold up...but overnight min temps (through 8:00am), that stayed 80º+ in Indiana.

Guru Of Reason Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nothing extreme here, but DTW did reach 90 making it 24 90+ days. It's amazing how laughably cold that sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Up to 86 here. Clearing is taking place, with only some ragged CU remaining. Looks like there we'll make a run at 90 once again, before the storms to the NW move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg378s Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Still roasting at 87 coming up on midnight. Have about 10-20min left of this heat wave before the outflow boundary passes and blasts it all away lol. The STL readings the last few evenings have been incredible. Not much nighttime relief for those guys lately. Looks like low temp this morning was 86, which again ties the all-time record high minimum for the 2nd consecutive day. To put in perspective, average max temp this time of year is 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Compared to STL, a world of difference, but it's all relative. So true. For comparison...STL climo is 43 days per year (theyve had 49 & counting in 2012, had 68 in 2011). DTW (climo 12) ALL-TIME top 5: 39 days - 1988 36 days - 1934 33 days - 1952 31 days - 1955 30 days - 1944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Despite a very impressive 5th 100+ day at MLI yesterday, it only bumps them up to 9th all time for most 100+ days.

It's interesting how many more 100+ days that area saw during some of the Dust Bowl summers compared to places further east. Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have already seen a comparable number 100+ days this year. Indy is at #3 all-time with 9, and Fort Wayne tied at #2 with 6.

Geos Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Latest CPC outlook shows the ridge staying west for the most part and shows an active NW flow storm track days 6-10 and 8-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Latest CPC outlook shows the ridge staying west for the most part and shows an active NW flow storm track days 6-10 and 8-14. LOT did the mention the possibility of temperatures returning to normal or even below normal. THE OVERALL THEME IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS APPEARS TO BE A RETURN TO NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES...WITH A SMALL OPPORTUNITY TO DIP BELOW SEASONAL CONDS AS A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS ARE PROGGED TO ROTATE AROUND THE VORT MAX OVER HUDSON BAY TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES/NORTHEAST CONUS. THE LARGEST CAVEAT...GIVEN THE EXPECTED CONTINUATION OF THE LONGER TERM DROUGHT...IS THAT MOST LIKELY ALLOW TEMPS TO EASILY WARM AND MAY COUNTER THE PROGGED SETUP REGIME. THUS IT REMAINS CONCEIVABLE THAT TEMPS STILL PUSH INTO THE UPR 80S. WITH THIS TYPE OF SETUP...TRADITIONALLY IT FAVORS A DRY OR DRYER SCENARIO OUTSIDE OF LOWER CHC FOR PRECIP WHEN THESE WAVES PASS THROUGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have already seen a comparable number 100+ days this year. Indy is at #3 all-time with 9, and Fort Wayne tied at #2 with 6. Go a little further east (and north) and the situation is like Moline, ie heat during the dustbowl years was and still is in a league of its own. Now, granted, 100F heat is a lot more rare up here. But when you look at 90F+ days, its just sticking out like a sore thumb. Detroit 100F+ days by decade: 1870s- 0 1880s- 1 1890s- 0 1900s- 0 1910s- 3 1920s- 0 1930s- 14 1940s- 2 1950s- 5 1960s- 0 1970s- 2 1980s- 5 1990s- 1 2000s- 0 2010s- 4 Add in those "oh-so-close" days of 99F+ days by decade 1870s- 0 1880s- 2 1890s- 0 1900s- 0 1910s- 3 1920s- 0 1930s- 16 1940s- 9 1950s- 6 1960s- 0 1970s- 5 1980s- 7 1990s- 3 2000s- 1 2010s- 6 Lastly, for simple 90F+ days by decade since 1900 (few years in the 1800s M to me) the '30s-50s OWN 1900s- 56 1910s- 107 1920s- 100 1930s- 172 1940s- 160 1950s- 154 1960s- 111 1970s- 119 1980s- 127 1990s- 123 2000s- 102 2010s- 64 thru 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 2009 where we cracked 88 degrees like 3 times and no 90's. As someone who hates heat, I actually longed for the days of heat, just to remember what it was like. This decade is starting much warmer, but we were due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
