hawkeye_wx Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Highest heat index of the year @4pm... 95/73/106. Iowa City heat index is 108. Waterloo dewpoint is 78, but their temp is lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Temps have been holding the upper 70s all afternoon. Dewpoints really haven't gone anywhere. Pic below showing the low clouds and fog from 4 miles inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Still haven't mixed out this stubborn stratus deck and it looks like we have a good chance of fog overnight with the abundant low level moisture and light winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not sure we'll crack 90f today...88F/69F right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Definitely the hottest it's felt so far for this stretch. Hit 93, but dews held in the mid 70s all afternoon, which is about 10 degrees higher than yesterday. Heat index reached as high as 107. 89/76 now, with a heat index of 100.. MLI set a new record today of 97. Their heat index is 108 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get home, 10 degrees cooler with a nice breeze. 84 currently I work just east of the QC, and man it was stifling. The lack of wind with heat index values approaching 110 is definitely unpleasant.

Once you got within 2 miles the edge of the clouds were pretty much overhead and then in downtown Zion it was completely cloudy with wisps of fog moving just over head. You had to be even closer to the lake around here to really get into the fog. I'm noticing the clouds are trying to advance inland right now.

Even Downtown Milwaukee wasn't foggy today, just overcast for the morning and parts of the afternoon. MKE, RAC and Waukegan obviously were socked in most of the day though.

michsnowfreak Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Certainly missing the brunt of this heat here. Overcast almost all day today, did hit 84, and despite it being muggy, it didnt feel too bad. the low today was only 76F, which should it stand it would be a record warm min for the day, but if we fall below 74 by 1am it won't. DTW still on 90F watch...will July 15-19th be it for 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, the record high on Sept 16th is 89! Tomorrow is probably the best shot left until next May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Clouds are advancing overhead again. Temperature and dewpoint not far apart; 70/68. Unrelated to the clouds you're speaking of, looks like there are clouds advancing ESE from a small area of light showers in Western Wisconsin. They could be a slight hindrance toward radiating tonight. Of course, with the low level moisture, it probably won't make a big difference either way.

Per Skilling's forecast - looks like one more shot at 90s on Friday and then lake breezes for Saturday. Heat wave looks shorter and shorter. 69/68 now.

cyclone77 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Heat wave is coming closer to the end, but may still have a good shot at another day in the mid-upper 90s on Friday. Looks like about 92 or so tomorrow. The cool off that originally was going to occur Tue will now apparently start as early as Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 This wasn't the summer for prolonged heat that's for sure. Foggy out there tonight. Light winds forecasted Friday, so it could be another day of lake breezes. My grid shows that as the hottest day at 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light winds forecasted Friday, so it could be another day or lake breezes. My grid shows that as the hottest day at 89. What wind there is will be south, so I think tomorrow is the more likely day for a lake breeze, since it is supposed to be a light SE wind. Saturday likely to be as well.

Brewers Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Looks like we have another chance at 90 tomorrow. The NAM shows mixing up to 900mb, with temps around 25C. This should translate to 91-94 at the surface. Convective debris could be an issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 O'Hare might hit 90 today still, warmer than La Crosse surprisingly. Lake influence is moving in, so 87/88 will probably be it. Another hour or so and it probably would have been hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sitting at 80° here. Humid out again. -0.9° is the departure month to date. This map seems a little cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
