wisconsinwx 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. Yes, and it's especially nice when one's allergies are under control. If you're having trouble, at the moment I suggest Claritin if you're having issues. A coworker of mine told me he's been using it for several years and it works. I tried it a few days ago when my allergies started acting up and so far it's working quite well, better than Zyrtec or Allegra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Mixed out well here. Dews have dropped from 64 back to 56. Temp up to 85 with lots of cumulus bubbling overhead. Great 4th of July! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it a few days ago when my allergies started acting up and so far it's working quite well, better than Zyrtec or Allegra. Luckily I have only taken allergy medicine 4 to 5 times this season so far. That's really good for me! Claritin is really good for me as well. More humid for us members near the lake: 76/64 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Had a heavy shower move through earlier... low 80Fs now. this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Just a tad wet over the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Just a tad wet over the next week. It's amazing how much rain has been flowing north from the Gulf for several days now. I know Ohio needed the moisture, but not that much. There would be big issues if this plume was aimed further west where it has been wet most of the year already... Edit: Definitely looking wet on the GFS for 1-5 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Had to cave and turn the AC on tonight. Humidity was accumulating in the house. Hit 77° today here with high clouds most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 BTW, the above post is a perfect example of why this Spring/Summer thus far can kiss my fat ass. This. Its been too wet and cloudy. Thankfully we had a solid string of warm summers and one mild winter to hold us over. Hopefuly the fall stays mild until mid Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yesterday was the 6th straight day with a sub-80º high temperature in the LAF. Phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yesterday was the 6th straight day with a sub-80º high temperature in the LAF. Phenomenal. Better enjoy this summer, I doubt we'll see another one like this anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Better enjoy this summer, I doubt we'll see another one like this anytime soon. lol, well it's not been unprecedented or anything so far...not every summer is going to be 2010, 2011, or 2012. But more seasonable temps are the on the way, which is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yesterday was the 6th straight day with a sub-80º high temperature in the LAF. Phenomenal. Same here. But not unheard of in this area! Might hit 80 today before the lake breeze moves in. Sitting at 78° now. Tomorrow the sub 80 streak ends for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Strong south winds here.... AC went on this morning. Give me the cool days/nights... Pretty sad the 4th is already done and over...summer just zips by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 MOS popping a 90 here on Tuesday. Will convection/debris ruin the party like last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Looking like it's going to get more active over the coming days. The 12z GFS made Tuesday look interesting with 75 dews, great turning and lots of instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Flirting with 80° now. Dewpoint 67°. Mid 70 dewpoints... yuck. Cyclone is really going to sweating out there if dewpoints hit 80! Edit: Still no 90s in the my point n' click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 OT but hopefully Hoosier will allow it: Since many of us don't check the main forum anymore, I figure I'd post over here to let you guys know that I'm running a guess-the-event game over there: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/40663-severe-weather-text-product-game/ Everyone is welcome to jump in at any time!

michsnowfreak Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So after picking up 0.02" in a brief shower yesterday evening, we had a monsoon this morning. (around 7am). Picked up 0.76" imby, reets...complete with lots of ponded water in the stand the next HIGHEST total I can find in SE MI per reports...is 0.15"! Crazy. Wish I saw the cell on radar. DTW only got 0.01", and DET 0.13". This brings my July total imby to 2.20"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Managed to tag 81° today. Only the 15th 80° temp this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Numerous cold air funnels were reported in NW OH this afternoon: A whole slideshow of photos compiled by Toledo News Now: http://www.toledonewsnow.com/slideshow?widgetid=84504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Nice catch IWX wx. I noticed the pop up showers on the radar over that way in Ohio but certainly didn't expect these funnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 86 today with lots of sun mixed with building cu. Still goose eggs for the month in the rain department. Lets see how long we can stretch this "dry stretch" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 This. Its been too wet and cloudy. Thankfully we had a solid string of warm summers and one mild winter to hold us over. Hopefuly the fall stays mild until mid Dec. The other shoe had to drop eventually, which is understandable. I would just like more strong/severe t'storm action, and it's also the fact that we have yet to hit our first 90*F+ high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 0z GFS has PWATS rising to 1.6" Sunday evening and not dropping below that till Wed evening. Get as high as 2.2" as well as other locations nearby. Tues evening continues to look nice for severe chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Low of 72F overnight... Hurricane winds yesterday...only good thing was the dews have stayed lowed...today showing 88F. Still have only hit 90F once or twice this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Any idea when our area might experience the first MCS wave? Sunday by chance? S Perhaps Sunday night north of the border (WI/IL) mainly. Looks like Monday the front sags south, so Monday and Tuesday are likely the best bets for the Chicago area, Sunday and again Tuesday for the likes of Milwaukee, Madison, La Crosse.
