Chicago WX Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 43 at LAF...I'll eat my hat I'll take the over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'll take the over. I'm thinking something like 48 or 49 for Sunday morning. What about you? I guess it could get a bit colder than that but I'm kinda feeling burned from last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we can't do it with this airmass then I'm not sure what it would take. 850 mb temps are progged to be around 6C in our area. They were more like 9-10C last time.

Geos Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thinking 47° is pretty reasonable here. Dewpoint is still up tonight - preventing the drop off in temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 For here ( KBTL ) we have a shot at a few records both tomorrow and Sunday. Records are 70 for Saturday and 72 for Sunday. The July record is 62 for the coldest high temp. Coldest temp ever in July is 42 which happened twice. Doubt we get close though to the low temps thanks to the lake stuff and thus clouds and showers. Record lows are, 48 for the 28th, 46 for both the 29th and 30th, and 45 for the 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The record low is going down at IND tonight (54 in 2004), but the record at FWA is hopefully safe (44 in 1900). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IND radiates poorly. 55º is my call and thus no soup. LAF gets to 50º...upper 40's prove elusive. Take it to the bank clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Brrrr...had the windows open last night and the wind was blowing on me the whole time... I was reading it is in the 90Fs around L Baikal in Siberia...they are normally in the 60Fs this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 MKE observed a temperature of 64 at the 06z observation so the best we can do is tie the record low max. Thee best chance to break a record low would be tonight. Hopefully clouds dont mess it up; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thee best chance to break a record low would be tonight. Hopefully clouds dont mess it up; They probably will with the scattered shower potential. As for today's max temp, the daytime temp will probably be around 65F anyway so the early max won't be much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Clouded up so fast this morning.... mostly clouds now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Needless to say, but sub 70 ain't happening in the LAF today. Without a cloud in the sky, going to overachieve quite nicely...mid to upper 70's should be doable. A stellar late July day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for today's max temp, the daytime temp will probably be around 65F anyway so the early max won't be much of an issue. Only things mke weather won't let you down with are cooler by the lake in spring/early summer and breaking record warm temps. Rest of the weather near or at the airport will underachieve and disappoint any way possible 9.9 times outta 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Amazing how cool it is still at 11:30. 60° here right now with 50s just to my north. House has cooled off to 66°. Definitely not swimming/water activities weather this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Jumped to 60F...but i don't see much north of that happening under all these clouds... pretty crappy weekend if this holds (clouds)...temps are good though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of the weather near or at the airport will underachieve and disappoint any way possible 9.9 times outta 10. Yep, rain totals at MKE have even been down this year compared to the surrounding metro area. Seems the airport rarely gets the most intense storms/rain, yet in the heat waves the temps will often be hotter than Chicago, the surrounding sites not so much. Mid 50s at the noon hour in many local sites, just crazy for about a week after the statistical warmest days of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Only 61 here currently. Been as warm as 64 with a few cloud breaks earlier. Been getting a few spits of very light rain/drizzle at times this morning. Looks like we'll do no better than the mid 60s today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 July is going to finish cooler and drier than average for a lot of us. The last July to do that here was 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
