cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Despite a warmer atmosphere and ample mixing today was cooler than yesterday at MLI. Very inconsistent there this year. Hit 98 here. 97 so far in Sterling. 99 Muscatine. Sterling ended up hitting 99 between the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Why would we love the heat? I think everyone here is pretty much a winter weather lover that can enjoy severe episodes in spring and fall. Summer just plain sucks. Summer is amazing. So much to do in such little time. Winter is too boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wonder of these high dews will act like a limiting factor? They often temper the actual heat max a bit but not the heat index. I've been noticing that since we've been missing pop up showers in my area of Michiana near Goshen the dry ground heats more readily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Summer is amazing. So much to do in such little time. Winter is too boring. Summer is amazing when its in the 80's with t-storms not the 100's and bone dry. This summer is getting ridiculous. Its now time for a cool down with more of an active pattern.

on_wx Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 News was saying our temp may hit 100 tomorrow for the first time in local area history. Our record is tied at 97 during 2011 and another year many decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Under, under. Probably...I was just posting the model output. I guess I'd give Wednesday a very slight edge over tomorrow but it's conditional on clouds/storms holding off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Today was hot...tomorrow looks worse... This is bad. I can't take this for much longer. We really need a week stretch of 70Fs.... 87F/67F still...ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sparty- You're nuts. What can you do when its 99F? That is what it was here all afternoon. I took my kids to the beach and we swam in the Mississippi...it was like swimming in pee (we probably were)..i bet the water temp is around 90F. Just disgusting.. 80Fs are fine...no problem... I'd take 50F and rain over today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work outside in this stuff with ease. Honestly Summer is my fav season. Drink plenty of water and kick back. I'll take 100/77 over sub zero and grey- 60 and grey. Long live the sun!

cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 00z NAM now trying to sneak in another really hot day for the QC Thursday at 105. Seems like an outlier though at this point. I had been thinking 101 for MLI tomorrow, but after today's underachievement I'll adjust that down to 98. Should make 100 pretty easy in places like ORD and Rockford. MLI could sneak in a 100 on Wed or Thu if clouds/precip stay at bay. They always overachieve when frontal boundaries are closing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you 100% on that one. If we could only get a little bit more t-storm action to moisten up the lawn and garden, this would be pretty much an ideal summer for me. It's definitely been the hottest thus far of my life, I just missed the 1988 madness. Honestly, it kind of has to get as hot as it has been for me to even comfortably go swimming, and I love to swim, so the heat is welcome to me.

daddylonglegs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sparty- I was out on the bike yesterday (bicycle) and it was 95F and full sun...i felt sick by the time I got back home (12 mile bike ride)... Took a shower with the hose. Subzero vs 100F??? Think they both suck... You should move to St Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If we hit 100°F+ tomorrow at DTW, that will be the third time this year we've topped the century mark. Does anyone know how many times Detroit has seen 3 or more 100's in a year? As far as I can remember from reading through all of our records, it only has happened 2 or 3 other times...Obviously, in the dust bowl days and in '88, and I believe one other time, but I can never find a good site with old records/observations so there might have been more. Either way, I guess, it's a very rare occurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am much more content on 80s and periodic severe weather, than 100s and sitting inside so you don't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'd take 60s or 50s and showery weather over this heat any day. Tom Skilling was talking about a wave riding along the front Wednesday into Thursday that might set off some thunderstorm complexes. Might help temper the heat in some areas if it comes true.

Brewers Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Even though I hate hot temperatures at least the extreme heat is more exciting than countless day in the upper 80's/low 90's. Either way this summer still has been absolutely horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Detroit is gonna bake if the NAM is right. There is a pocket of 850 mb temps of 25C with excellent mixing, which would support mid 100s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 As hot as it been this summer, here in Saginaw, MI our highest Temp so far was 97 which we hit twice. I'd like it to hit 100 tomorow just so I can say we hit tripple digits lol. As for weather in general, I like all extremes, just don't like the current streak of no rain.
