Harry Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Radar estimates of 5-6+ inches just south of here/I94. Finally got in one some better rainfall and thus the storm total is now up to 1.72 ( Monthly total was 1.67 and is now 3.39 ) which makes this the biggest event since early April. The month of May had only 1.64 for the whole month. Thus the rains are VERY welcome here. Grass etc was starting to get torched in a few spots.

daddylonglegs Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Death ridge? Not over this area... Going to take a ton of heat to evaporate all this water... Interesting how wet Montana has been...crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Low level clouds racing west overhead...an odd direction given the pattern in place...but with boundaries all over the place it is certainly explainable... radar lighting up over portions of LOT again...

wisconsinwx Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 we are going to need all this liquid when the death ridge takes control Haha, that's a good one. Looking out through early July, I don't see a death ridge. Could happen later in July though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I see a death ridge, buts its a little west: Couldn't imagine a summer in Vegas or Phoenix...my neighbor has a brother who lives out in Phoenix, says everyone just sits in the AC all the time...I guess its not much different then here on days like today...with the dp above 70F.

I'll never forget the first time I flew into PHX, stepped out of the airport at 10 pm and felt like I was punched in the face from the heat...truly oppressive.

Had a similar experience except it was during peak heating. Remember the pilot saying it was 108F as we were approaching the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 More tolerable right now compared to yesterday; 75°/65° outside. 100°+ is hot no matter what. Low in the 80s at night are oppressive no matter how dry it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 When I was living in Oklahoma a couple years ago, we had that extreme heat wave where we hit 100+ 63 times. JJA average highs were 97, 103, 102. The heat was insane, but I think what was more of a morale killer was waking up at 9am and seeing the temperature at 97 or 98 degrees already. I'll take 80s/90s with high humidity over a summer like 2011 any year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Winter pad in Miami or Phoenix and a summer pad in Leadville, CO or Flagstaff, AZ Leadville would be a bit crisp, with lows in the 40's every day. Chigago guys: I checked water.weather.gov for yesterday's precip. Did you guys get 5-6" in Northwest Chicago??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks like Las Vegas might flirt with hottest temp of all time. Very small range between their all time high and average high. That would be like Detroit setting its all time mark at 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I was in Southern California in May during a Santa Ana wind event. It was 100 with a dewpoint of -10. Yes NEGATIVE 10. It didn't feel all that bad, especially with the breeze. Conversely, today here at the lakeshore in Cleveland it was 77 with a dewpoint of 70 and no wind ... that feels leaps and bounds worse/hotter than a 100/-10 with a breeze.

daddylonglegs Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lock this in! FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PLAN ON COOLER/OVERALL DRIERCONDITIONS AS A MAJOR MID-LEVEL TROUGH ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER THECENTRAL CONUS WITH A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED RIDGE ACROSS THE WESTERNCONUS. EC REMAINS DRY DESPITE COOLER CYCLONIC FLOW AND THE GFS ISLIGHT AND SPOTTY WITH ITS QPF. LOOKS LIKE MAINLY SOME DAYTIMECUMULUS BUT REMAINING DRY. OTHERWISE...HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO BE INTHE 75-80 DEGREE RANGE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 50S...VERYPLEASANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Picked up .30" of rain this morning. Up to 7.76" for the month. Wow, you've had quite a more rain up there compared to here. 5.28" month to date. Looks like 77° will be the high today. --- 105° in central OK is about the hottest temperature I've ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I experienced temps near 110 in the Sacramento valley back in the 90s while on vacation. It was awful, but I still think upper 90s with dews near 80 is untouchable. The difference is in areas that experience upper 90s/80 dews only experience it for a day or two before at least some relief comes in. Day after day of dry heat with temps above 100 would certainly get old in a hurry. Hit 86 today with loads of humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I have heard Oklahoma is pretty much the worst for heat/humidity. The highest temp I ever experienced was in Michigan, summer of 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 July 13, 1995. Hell on earth...or pretty close to it for me. 80º for the high at LAF today, but sticky icky.
