wisconsinwx Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 These showers are packing a punch. RAC has picked up 0.43" within the last hour Even the light looking showers yesterday were downpours at times, must be some pretty high PWATs with this low.

daddylonglegs Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hey DDL, Have you ever been to Wildcat Mountain State Park? I'm going camping up there this weekend and was just wondering if you have any tips or things to see in the area since it is somewhat near you. It's looking somewhat warm this weekend so some kayaking may be in order on the Kickapoo River. I've driven through there, but never stayed there... My only issue would be to see what the river is doing there...I would imagine the water levels drop very quickly on that river... I know people that have canoed it and really enjoyed it.

Geos Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Picked up 0.10" of rain this morning. Really cool out again. 63° now at 11:20am. Wow Cyclone, 51°! You must have had clear skies to work with. Hoping to see some sun breaks back in here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Struggling to make it into the mid 60s this afternoon. Few sprinkles happening now. Tomorrow is looking like 70s now, which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Flash flood watch up for one row of counties to my south and south of that for tomorrow and Friday. Figured ILN might put the entire CWA since several spots have had very heavy rain totals and it wouldn't take much for flooding. Could still change and would not shock me if it did.

YHM Supercell Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Had a good storm in Hamilton, Ontario today (near Coptown/Rockton area). Very heavy rain, some nice positive CG's, and best of all, a nice rotating wall cloud. Another chaser was on this storm as well and noted some good rotation in the wall cloud, similar to what I was seeing. EC's King City radar had strong rotation and a hook as well. Here is a photo I took. And a capture of EC's radar, BR and BV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 66 should be the high here today, I will look back to see when the last back to back July days with highs below 70F happened. After checking, it was July 23-25, 2004 when amazingly we had three straight days with highs in the 60s/lows in the 50s, and with no precip recorded either. Must've been an almost anomalous trough at that point combined with some wet soil feedback perhaps as that was a wet summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Kenton and Spincich Lake, MI (in the UP) got down to 32F the morning of July 2...pretty impressive for the warmest time of the year. That has to be close to Michigan's all-time state record low for July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Zo Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I think climate reports use Zulu time for their 24hr period. So 1am(06z) would be the start of a new day in the central timezone instead of midnight. Climate reports use local standard time to define each day, so it's 1AM-1AM in daylight time.

Chicago WX Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 A year ago today, no doubt one of the hottest 4th of Julys ever. 100º+ high temperatures from several sites on 7/4/2012: Battle Creek: 102º Chicago: 102º Columbia: 104º Columbus: 100º Des Moines: 101º Detroit: 102º Evansville: 103º Flint: 100º Fort Wayne: 101º Indianapolis: 102º Kansas City: 102º La Crosse: 103º Lafayette: 100º Lansing: 100º Louisville: 102º Madison: 102º Milwaukee: 102º Minneapolis: 101º Paducah: 101º Peoria: 100º Rockford: 102º St. Louis: 105º South Bend: 100º Toledo: 100º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Warming up quickly under full sun. Up to 78. Another cool night last night, but not as cool as yesterday morning. Made it down to 57. Could have a few isolated storms pop later around here, or just to the east. Hit 101 a year ago. MLI must have had one of their underachieving days, as they only hit 96.

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Looks like we may have a repeat of last week, with an active period of weather followed by another significant cool down.

Powerball Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Last year on this date (July 4th, 2012) was pretty active. After the temperature in Detroit reached a record breaking 102*F (hottest temperature in nearly of a quarter century), supercell t'storms rapidly develop late in the afternoon, producing numerous large hail reports across the Detroit area. Then if that wasn't enough, the same areas were hit by a severe QLCS in the early morning hours of the 5th, which produced numerous high wind reports across the Detroit area. The entire I-96/I-69 corridor in Michigan was in fact impacted by this round. The strong storms continued across portions of the Detroit area through the midday hours on the 5th. And what's really funny about all of this? The SPC only forecasted a 5% chance of severe weather at most prior to the first watch being issued, and yet it was one of the best multi-round severe weather outbreaks we've had in years locally. Not to mention there was a decent enough break between the 1st round of severe weather and the 2nd round of severe weather for people to still get their fireworks in. By 7/5/12, over 325,000 customers had lost power at one point. http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/18954094/2012/07/05/power-out-for-nearly-200000-customers-in-metro-Detroit http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2012/md1389.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2012/md1395.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2012/md1398.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2012/md1399.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2012/md1401.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2012/ww0462.html http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2012/ww0467.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 BTW, the above post is a perfect example of why this Spring/Summer thus far can kiss my fat ass. We were due for a cooler summer, so I don't know why you are surprised or really all that pissed. It's not like you didn't get your fill of 90 degree days in recent years. I was expecting at most a slightly warmer than average summer, and more likely cooler than average. At least around here, the last three summers were all above average, especially in June (except for 2011) and July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Happy 4th of July fellow weather enthusiasts! Big difference here today with the sun out and mid 70s. I do appreciate the cooler summer, especially after last year. Getting a whole lot more done outside and enjoying the outdoors more this summer so far compared to last year.
