Hoosier Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 If we can dip below 50 tonight...and it should be close...it would be the first back to back sub 50 degree nights in July since 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I find it amazing that July '88 had sub 50° nights. All I remember from that summer is the drought and excessive heat. Well drought cuts both ways. It often enhances the diurnal range which means hotter highs and lower lows. On 7/3/1988, LAF had a high of 90 and a low of 49.

Chicago WX Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Seems like a bias toward the early part of the month. Not that many toward the end. That's what I saw too. Well drought cuts both ways. It often enhances the diurnal range which means hotter highs and lower lows. On 7/3/1988, LAF had a high of 90 and a low of 49. Yep. Last summer had a few of those days. 87/55 on June 14, 91/53 on June 15, and 90/53 on June 27. So, sub 50 again tomorrow morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, sub 50 again tomorrow morning? Dust Bowl routinely had 35-40 degree swings. Of course when your highs are 105-110 it is a little less noticeable. I don't know about tomorrow morning...it's a tough call. Wouldn't be surprised if we get an hourly of 50 or 51 and we're waiting for the intrahour. Temp right now is the same as it was at this time last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Oh boy...that 70*F high at Metro Airport is going to piss michsnowfreak off. Aggravating but not at all unexpected. Its completely what I expect at DTW anymore. Every once in a while when they radiate good or come up noticeably low with the high....THATS when Im surprised, not a day like today. Temp rockets up and crashes back down intra-hour? Thats SO par for the course here lol. Everyone else stays in the mid-upper 60s, of course DTW (& YIP) will briefly touch 70F. How did they do it at DTW? The high was briefly, and I mean briefly, attained at 2:25pm 1pm: 65 2pm: 64 3pm: 68 4pm: 66 5pm: 61 6pm: 65 7pm: 64 8pm: 63 Despite coming in 2nd place for both record low and record low max, the mean temp for the day of 61F broke the old record of 63F from 1978, so technically, this was still the coldest July 28th on record for Detroit. I will say that hoodies and jackets were seen all around today....and it sure felt like late September...really hard to believe its the dog days of summer!

Indeed. Max/min temps for July 1-3, 1988. Nice splits. July 1, 1988: 80º/47º July 2, 1988: 85º/48º July 3, 1988: 90º/49º 1983 was a pretty hot summer too, though it was mainly July and August...or after the back-to-back sub 50º mins that LAF pulled off early in that July.
