hawkeye_wx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The summer weather is nice(although the next few days will be uncomfortable), but we really do need some rain. My garden needs to be soaked again after only a few days, but now the rain barrel is empty. Also, the nearby creek is mostly dried up. We need 3+ inches of rain over the next ten days just to reach average for June. I'm hoping for a minimum of an inch through early next week.

Chicago Storm Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 LOT talking up the heat potential... THE BIGGER CONCERN WILL BE THE BUILDING HEAT.

SINCE THE SPRING HASBEEN RELATIVELY COOL AND DRY...THE MUCH HIGHER HEAT ANDHUMIDITY...WITH DEWPOINTS WELL INTO THE 70S LIKELY THROUGH THEPERIOD...COULD BE A SYSTEM SHOCK TO MANY PEOPLE NOT ACCUSTOMED TOTHE HEAT. ALSO...THE EFFECT OF HEAT ON THE HUMAN BODY HAS ACUMULATIVE EFFECT. AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF NEAR ADVISORY HEATINDICES COULD CAUSE HEAT- RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS MUCH LIKE ASHORTER PERIOD OF HIGHER HEAT INDICES...AND AN EXCESSIVE HEATADVISORY MAY EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK EVEN IFHEAT INDICES DO NOT QUITE REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE ONE CAVEATTHAT WILL NEED TO BE REMEMBERED THAT THERE WILL BE SOME CHANCESFOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...EVEN IF SCATTERED...WHICH IF THEYOCCUR AT THE RIGHT TIME...THE MAX TEMPS COULD BE LOCALLY LOWER DUETO THICKER THAN EXPECTED CLOUD COVER OR MORE EXTENSIVE PCPN.AS A REMINDER...FOR THE WFO CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE CWA...AN EXCESSIVEHEAT ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN THE HEAT INDEX IS GREATER THAN OR EQUALTO 105F. HOWEVER...IF THE HEAT INDEX IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO95F FOR A PERIOD OF 4 DAYS...AN EXCESSIVE HEAT ADVISORY MAY BEISSUED FOR THE 4TH DAY DUE TO THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF HEAT.

Trent Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 While many of us in the eastern and central Lakes wait for our first 90 degree temp, Alaska has been baking this month. Valdez, a coastal city nonetheless, hit 90 earlier this week. And yes, they had a 56" snow pack on May 5th this year. That 90 degree reading is the only 90 degree reading ever recorded there and subsequently the hottest day on record.

wisconsinwx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 how are you always so dry? Must be that his area dries up so quickly. He said in an earlier post that he had 8"+ of rain in both April and May, with a bit below average June, and he's already talking about it being too dry? Seems like a weird situation.

He said in an earlier post that he had 8"+ of rain in both April and May, with a bit below average June, and he's already talking about it being too dry? Seems like a weird situation. It would take a significant dry spell through summer to bring any drought back to the area. I'm obviously talking short-term dry. I have a big garden with a lot of plants in the backyard, so I notice when we get into a short-term dry spell. The 8 inches of rain in April and May replenished the ground throughout the region, which is great, but it doesn't help the garden once the heat gets turned on in June.

cyclone77 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pretty toasty today. Made 90, but low humidity so it was pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pretty toasty today. Made 90, but low humidity so it was pretty nice. Yeah, it was warm, but low 60s dewpoint is pretty tame this time of year. The dewpoint should jump to around 70 the next few days, but even that won't be terrible. The crops around here are still quite small so transpiration isn't a big factor, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hot and humid with no rain for the foreseeable future... ...blows chunks. Yeah, I agree. But I say the same thing In January when the ground is bare and the forecast is no snow, highs in the 20's and lows in the single digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 lows early next week via point and click progged for lower to mid 70's....they make for nice evenings outside...although the mosquitoes are starting to get a bit thirsty in my neck of the woods...so maybe not as pleasant of an evening outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 LAF only edged out by EVV for high temp honors in Indiana today, 88 to 87. Must be the burgeoning local drought conditions. Point and click high temp forecasts for the airport here would be torture for Hoosier. Alas, no need to worry as you can safely bump those 2-3 degrees...LAF-effect and all. Friday: Sunny, with a high near 88. South wind 6 to 9 mph. Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 68. South wind 6 to 8 mph. Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. South southwest wind 6 to 10 mph. Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 69. South wind around 7 mph. Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 89.Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 72.Monday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88.Monday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 72.Tuesday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 89.Tuesday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 73.Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Geos Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Made it to 78 80° today. Really nice day within 5 miles or so of the lakeshore. Jumped to the low 80s about 6+ miles inland. Was in Milwaukee earlier and the lakefront was packed with beachgoers. Not many people in the water given the cool waters and air temp around 70° down there at the time. Still no 90 readings in my point either - Alek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
