wisconsinwx Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Low temps around 70F this weekend...Sat could hit 90F. She's going to be a little sticky. Beautiful couple of 70F days until then... You're in a good spot for MCS action, so at least you are unlikely to be capped in the sultry warm sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 No fog here that I noticed. Funny how Chicago is the fog magnet this morning. Usually it's foggy here and there at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hmmm, it looks to get hot in the medium range. Just in time or my son's wedding. Looks like a decent ridge builds in through the first week of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathergy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The real hilarity is that a portion of our sub-forum may be talking about heat advisories come next weekend. I wouldn't rule out excessive heat warnings somewhere either if those mid 70s dewpoints verify on the GFS. It will be quite uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Managed to get to 67° today. 21° cooler than yesterday. I got a lot done outside as well today. Most of the subforum still below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wind off the lake is helping the temperature stay really steady tonight around 57°. Probably won't see upper 40s here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 full fledge windows open day...maybe squeak one more day of no AC out of this month tomorrow...don't like the sound of near 70 degree DP's on the horizon at night for the forseeable future....shteamyyyy and shtickyyyy nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 should be able to hold off AC until thursday night here along the lake front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 FWIW....much more soil moisture this year (compared to last year at least) should help maintain some healthy DP's....thus should help keep any mid upper 90's from rearing their ugly heads in this region. Although with those increased DP's heat indexes could be similar anyways. And clearly this depends on where the ridge actually puffs up to and the lingering MCS debris, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 0z GFS has 0.05" total rainfall for the next 8 days for LAF. Been pretty dry here since May 1, now exceeding 2.00" below normal...and that will continue to grow as the death ridge encompasses central Indiana. Another summer drought en route.

TimChgo9 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looking at the models, it puts 90's into most of our sub forum starting on the 27th, and it looks to hang around through at least the 4th of July. Doens't look like much rain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 All the way down to 47° this AM. Winds must have slackened off quite a bit last night. Not looking forward to the high dewpoints at all, but I guess it's about time for them. After tonight, it will probably be awhile before another sub 60° low happens.

Still way ahead of last year with precip but this is the time of year when evaporation rates are high.

wisconsinwx Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Its close to being a good pattern, all we need is a couple hundred mile shift south in the mean baroclinic zone to make it good for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 WPC thoughts... such is the life along/around the proverbial "RING OF FIRE" muhahahahaha.... Yes, and given those difficulties, I could see the frontal zone stalling further south quite easily. It could also be farther north, but that's much less likely it seems with daily MCS activity maintaining or dropping the warm front position temporarily.
