July 2013 General Discussion


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

You don't want this rain, been getting just soaked here. 2.5" just south of Toledo, I just want it off me man. Trying to go camping this week and actually want to enjoy my time instead of sitting in a tent the whole time. Maybe if this low wasn't retrograding this wouldn't be a problem

Ring of Fire Part III next week?

 

via LOT...

 

EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE PATTERN DAMPENS A QUICK QUASI-
ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLE RING-OF-FIRE TYPE
SETUP MAY DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN U.S. AS INSTABILITY WILL HAVE
BUILT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CONFIDENCE ON THIS IS LOW
RIGHT NOW HOWEVER AS THE CURRENT PATTERN IS FAIRLY ATYPICAL AND
GUIDANCE OFTEN STRUGGLES WITH SUCH A BLOCKED PATTERN.

 

 

via DVN...

 

THUS THE MOISTURE SURGE THROWN UP AT THE
REGION BY THE WEST FLANK OF THE RIDGE WILL INTERACT WITH THE
NORTHERN STREAM TROF AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL COMPLEX POSSIBLY FOR A
MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE SET UP ACRS PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST FROM
LATE SUNDAY THROUGH AT LEAST NEXT TUESDAY. THE MODELS VARY ON HOW
FAR NORTH OR SOUTH THIS POTENTIAL MCS TRACK WILL LAY OUT
ACRS...BUT THE ENSEMBLE MEAN PATH UNFORTUNATELY TAKES AIM AT THE
NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS...IA AND INTO THE WESTERN GRT LKS. A
UNSETTLED WEATHER WINDOW TO WATCH OUT FOR.  

 

or is this Ring of Fire Part II?

Well I spoke to soon. What was a glorious (to me lol) morning, DTW managed to peak at an intra-hour 69F around noon, and we have since spent the ENTIRE afternoon with light to moderate strataform rain falling STRAIGHT down, almost no wind, and a temp of 63F, some 20F colder than an average July 1st afternoon. Lots of hoodies and umbrellas seen around town...crazy!

75º for the high at LAF. A bit breezy this afternoon and evening, no AC FTW. Had some rain at my place around 3:00pm, but it didn't make it to the airport evidently.

 

69º for the high at FWA, two degrees off the record low max temperature for today (67º in 1918).

 

72º at IND, four away from the record low max of 68º set in 1924.

 

A little bit of a different feel lately, versus a year ago...

 

June 28, 2012: 101º

June 28, 2013: 85º

 

June 29, 2012: 98º

June 29, 2013: 71º

 

June 30, 2012: M, LAF fail this day

June 30, 2013: 75º

 

July 1, 2012: 90º 

July 1, 2013: 75º

I don't think I've ever seen a reporting station with as many fails as the LAF. Way too many M's.

 

Like others, I am loving upper 60's highs in early July. Those who were poo-pooing the King a few days ago for depicting such an anomalous ULL are eating some crow now.

Apparently a few tornadoes occured in SE. IL today.

 

A chaser reported them to ILX, but his reports were dismissed and he was told that they were just cold air funnels. I thought it was BS too when I first heard about it, but he just uploaded video. If it's all legit, well then ILX FTL...

70 with a bright July sun is a delight, it's been boring as shiit but doesn't get much more comfortable than this.

 

 

70 is ok (77 is ideal for me), but the mornings AOB 60 are what suck

 

EDIT: Still prefer this over too hot though

I suppose I am a little late to the July party, but what the heck.

These projections are based on a full blend LRC. I apply LRC to ISO and project weather conditions weeks, months, seasons into the future. A buddy asked for July's numbers on a social media so I tossed the images together. The data can be found here --> http://www.theplayerstour.net/osnw3/wxclimate/trends/index.html

You must mean May and June if you take away snow from the equation.  October is boring as heck.  May and June have stormy weather sandwiched in between generally cool, pleasant stretches.

 

October is the month when the jet stream re-energizes itself. Likely the most exciting month of the year for people who follow the NH's cycling weather patterns.
