cyclone77 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Intrahour bump - reached 95°. Thank goodness the dewpoints weren't crazy high today. Yeah the dews dipped back into the upper 60s here as well. About 5 degrees lower than yesterday. The lower dews combined with the gusty winds made it feel much less hot today.

daddylonglegs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 88F/63F.. dews in the low 50Fs in Duluth...so hopefully some of that air makes it in here... Amazing what lower dews can do...actually made being outside today bearable... dews over 70F are just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Liking the look of the Euro...looks like a few cool shots coming in the next 7-10... I'd be happy to never hit 90F until next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hello drought pretty soon after this invigorating dry frontal passage. Glad this week is over. Not a drop of rain and 90F temps every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hello drought pretty soon after this invigorating dry frontal passage. Glad this week is over. Not a drop of rain and 90F temps every week. Are you serious with this? MKE has had 6.40" of rain since June 1st and 25.91" since the beginning of the year both of which are above normal. Please think before posting such nonsense.

daddylonglegs Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Dropped to 66F...really thought we would have dropped off more. Dews still parked in the low 60Fs... need those 50F dews to come back. Good shot of rain tomorrow..which we really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Got down to 64 this morning. There was so much dew that formed outside this morning that enough formed inside my Davis gauge to register 0.01". Temps are warming up quicker today than thought. Up to 85 already, with 88 in the point now. Much lower humidity though, so it's not too bad out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 AC will have to stay on tonight for sure. 74/70 outside right now. I was talking to saukville the other day (cromartie/bananaboy)...he said he still hadn't turned his AC on and that it was 95F in his living room. I said my kids had blankets over them and it was 72F in mine... I handle the extreme cold better then i do this extreme humidity/heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmest I like it in my living room is about 74°. Between October and April the house is usually around 67-68°. AC is still on, but it's gotten a break somewhat. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow I can shut it off, before it goes back on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The storms dropped 0.73" of rain imby last night. Gusty winds but no damage, and tons of lightning. Actually earlier in the evening when a severe storm JUST missed me to the south the sky was lit up in constant, and I mean CONSTANT lightning, despite no rain falling. Pretty cool. So the 0.73" puts mby at 6.42" for July, and add the 6.34" in June, and MET summer is already at 12.76" and its only July 20th!!! The Wyandotte station on wunderground is at 6.93" for July after 6.10" in June. DTW has been avoiding the worst of storms/rain like the plague this month. Its funny to say "avoiding like the plague" when they are above normal, but they sit at I believe just 3.33" for July (after 6.01" in June, their MET summer is still well over 9" already, so nothing to shake a stick at, but much drier than me so close by).

Gilbertfly Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 granted, it's an anomaly change....but the soil moisture content has undergone some stripping west of the lakes... Shorter term drought talk is not really all that crazy of chatter in my opinion. Clearly reservoirs were filled pretty well over the course of spring and early summer, but the actual soil content outside of these reservoirs is not that spectacular right now. Sure, precip totals may look dandy west of the lakes over the last 3+ months...but how much of that fell during heavy convectively induced downpours? A decent portion of the areas rainfall most likely ran-off before it had toooooo much of a chance to soak into the ground. Last year featured extreme short term and longer term droughts. I have little concern for longer term droughts for most of the area here.....but again, the cracks in my lawn are getting bigger and bigger each day and getting an inch and a half of rain in 60 minutes won't do the trick....1.5 inches for the rain gauge and only half an inch for the soil....

WUNIDS_map.gif Well I know here there was a light lake breeze before the main slug of cooler air aimed down the lake from the northeast. What your seeing is two different marine air masses outlined by the NW to SE lake breeze front and the N to S boundary. That cell in McHenry County looks intense. Can see the cloud tops from here clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
