Geos Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Lake breeze helping keep the temperature down, but doing nothing for the dewpoint. Cumulus clouds a good 5 miles+ west of the lakefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 ILN, DTX, and PIT all had 500 mb heights of 599 dm at 12z. As far as I can tell, DTX or any of the previous stations around it have never recorded 600 dm. PIT had the one at 00z. ILN hasn't done it but DAY did once when it was in existence (6/15/78). It's only happened a handful of times anywhere in the Midwest in the past 55 years. It's a more common occurrence out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Made it up to 93 before the OFB just moved through. MDW made it to 91 and ORD falls short at 89, both of which occured earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Half-dollar raindrops, pea-sized hail currently. Hope the sun doesn't make another appearance, otherwise it's gonna be brutal out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Bright sunshine here in Milwaukee right now down by the lake. Plenty of people outside today at the beach. Hit 84 at UGN, but back down to near 80 I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It's still hot of course. Not summer of 2012 hot, but hot enough. I'm ready for winter. You got that right. This summer feels quite cool so far compared to last year, even though it's only been near/slightly below average around these parts. Spring/Summer 2012 almost made me consider moving north. It was that bad here. Unfortunately, we'll be seeing quite a few more "2012s" in the next few decades than I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 79/73 outside and the air is pretty stagnant tonight. Feels gross out! lol Couple random pictures. First one is a jungle like ravine near the UW Milwaukee campus. Everything is growing really well! You could really see the haze in the air, especially if you were viewing it from a high vantage point. Location Hoan Bridge, Milwaukee looking south.

Powerball Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The coop observer very near me got 1.6" in about an hour and a half. Very warm and heavy rain with plenty of CtG strikes. Was not expecting that today. The air definitely had that "storm" feel to it, although relatively speaking, I was in the "screw zone." I imagine the rainfall rates under those cells were easily greater than 2" per hour with solidly tropical dewpoints up to 700mb. But we look to do it all over again tomorrow it appears. If anything, I expect the air to be even soupier as the rain water from this evening goes through the evapotranspiration process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Stationary cell overhead as of now. Doesn't look to be moving much in the next few minutes. Winter wheat is mostly off as of this afternoon. The crop smelt different this year as if it was in the beginning stages of rotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I expect the air to be even soupier as the rain water from this evening goes through the evapotranspiration process. PWs are at around 2 inches across southern lower MI with little moisture advection occurring, so it probably won't change much by tomorrow. Currently 78/75 at DTW and 75/74 here. Just gross out. Extremely moist ridge unlike last year's desert/drought-sourced specials, that's for sure. The synoptic situation seems no more unfavorable tomorrow for Florida-like convection than it did today, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
