wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The airport is always Torchy McTorch in these kind of heatwaves, not indicative of the city as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sturgeon bay is a beautiful (but still muggy) 73F right now, the envy of the rest of the state for those who don't like heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Topped out at 93 here for the 3rd straight day. 94 at ORD and 95 at MDW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hottest day of the year here today. Hit 96, 95 at MLI. 95 so far at Sterling, but may have made it higher between the hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Kind a weird lake breeze boundary going on now. It weaves it's way back and forth along the IL shoreline and in WI it's almost non-existent! No lake breeze in Milwaukee. 92° for the high here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 lol @ 45 degree dewpoint at Clinton Iowa. Think they need to replace the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Peaked at 94F here today, dewpoint 72. No convection really manifested itself today, just a few TCU's that couldn't quite break the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 70 dewpoints all day here. Hopefully won't be seeing near 80° dewpoints tomorrow or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 If things work out correctly (Limited cloud issues/no storm issues), Friday might make it up to 96/97. The combination of warmer UA temps, compressional warming ahead of the front and an already warm airmass might be enough to do it. ...Then add in that it's been a bit dry lately too.

wisconsinwx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Some efficient rain producers just west of here, could really use some rain, even with our wet spring (around a half inch this month and the recent warm sunny weather has caused some minor browning of lawns to commence).

daddylonglegs Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We officially hit 98F, so came up a tad short...dew is sitting at 66F ...i'm going to attempt a bike ride in this garbage...but its not going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 If things work out correctly (Limited cloud issues/no storm issues), Friday might make it up to 96/97. The combination of warmer UA temps, compressional warming ahead of the front and an already warm airmass might be enough to do it. ...Then add in that it's been a bit dry lately too. This and southwest winds gusting to ~30 mph all factored in to why I went 96 for ORD/MDW and downtown on Friday. A few 97s are sprinkled in over the city in the P & C. After today hit 94 and 95 at ORD and MDW, feeling more confident in a few spots hitting the upper 90s on Friday if convection/cloud issues dont arise earlier in the day as you suggested.

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hottest day of the year here today. Hit 96, 95 at MLI. 95 so far at Sterling, but may have made it higher between the hours. Sterling ended up hitting 97. They must have fixed the NAM's ridiculous temp output that they had going on all last summer. It's been pretty decent, and if anything a bit conservative with surface temps this summer from what I've seen. Even for Friday it shows temps staying at or below 95 for many of us. This time last year it would have shown a few 105 and 110+ lollies with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just fell below 80°. Dewpoint 74° at this hour. Thinking about 94° here tomorrow if the offshore flow is strong enough. Good lord, still 85° at MDW! Edit: Still at 80° at almost 2am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Last night it was still 85°F when I went to bed at 1AM, and tonight somehow looks to stay even warmer. Some places in the more urban areas might not drop below 80°F for lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I have been doing some more traveling. Yesterday I was in Akron/Canton. My car said it was 96 in downtown Akron. Also I was in Columbus. It was still 87 degrees at 11:00 at night, away from downtown Columbus. Darn! (86 degree values on Wundermap for this area at 11:00PM.)
