stormtrackertf Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Looks like the Detroit airport is getting some relief. Just got a big thunderstorm IMBY too, tropical feeling downpours. Somehow managed to make it up to 93F IMBY before the storm blew in, now it's an insanely humid 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sitting at 92° now. Lake breeze should not be able to develop today. Winds are picking up out of the SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Skilling mentioned a few locations might end up near or at 100 the next two days. Not gonna happen today....And I doubt it happens tomorrow due to continued afternoon CU and other potential issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Just got a big thunderstorm IMBY too, tropical feeling downpours. Somehow managed to make it up to 93F IMBY before the storm blew in, now it's an insanely humid 82. It's amazing how the ARB-DTW corridor has been getting it good everyday this week (including michsnowfreak and the SW part of the city). Next to nothing has happened on my side of town this week so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Interesting... a cell popped up west of here in Boone County. 92.6°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Back up to 90 here, that was shockingly quick. Dew is 77 at DTW, making for a heat index of 102°F even after getting almost a quarter of an inch of rain in that last burst of convection.

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 95 here today. 94 at MLI, 97 at Sterling. Surprised it was cooler than yesterday with less cloud cover, similar humidity, and a maturing heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This storm only lasted about 5 minutes and is long gone now, but still loud thunder and lightning from across the river in Ontario. Otherwise calm, hot, and ridiculously humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well if there was ever a night where we might end up around 80 it might be tonight. Last ob was 86/73 at 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Low was 81° in downtown Chicago last night at Northerly Island. Skilling going with 97° now tomorrow. Compressional warming ahead of the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Skilling going with 97° now tomorrow. Compressional warming ahead of the front? As myself and RC stated last night... 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. Sent from my SCH-I535 4 Beta I just don't have confidence that we'll see temps that high though, especially with the earlier front arrival/OFB/cloud/storm issues some of the models are now showing. ...In addition to the afternoon CU we've had to deal with. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well if there was ever a night where we might end up around 80 it might be tonight. Last ob was 86/73 at 10pm. Isn't the all-time record high minimum temp at DTW 79 or so? Would be interesting to see if we could tie that or break it. I know in the city it has stayed considerably warmer before, I remember one night in the notoriously warm summer of 2005 it didn't drop below 82 degrees here in the city. Low was 81° in downtown Chicago last night at Northerly Island. Skilling going with 97° now tomorrow. Compressional warming ahead of the front? That's crazy. I noticed in the forecast grids a lot of the urbanized areas of Chicago are only forecast to go down to the mid-80's tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much smack dab in the middle of the core of the UHI. Not doing too bad here either for being on the edge of the UHI; 84° still. Was 80° here at 2 am today.

That mid 80s call seems too high at this rate. Those areas would only have to drop a few more degrees and it's not even 11 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
