A-L-E-K Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 warmer than the past few days, getting some CU going up along the west with weak area of lift moving up from the south. Should see some storms right up along the lake breeze later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nine straight below average days at MKE, and we're likely working on a tenth with a morning low in the low to mid 50s, and high topping out in the upper 70s at best. This has been a sneaky impressive cool spell, it looked like it would be seasonable, but the constant cooling fog and the difficulty to get sun until yesterday have contributed to it.

wxman1952 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 looking fine here this weekend for our family reunion, It will be warmer and more muggy. 77° with humidity at 51% now, just about perfect. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive difference between Madison and Milwaukee for this month. Madison is +3.0 and Milwaukee is -1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I wish all Junes could be like this one. In addition to the regular rain & storms, the temp has been consistently pleasant. We have not gone above 86 degrees since June 1st. There have been several days in which clouds have overspread the area and held the temp down... today being another.

wisconsinwx Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Impressive difference between Madison and Milwaukee for this month. Madison is +3.0 and Milwaukee is -1.4 Yeah, just looked at that myself, this is definitely looking like it could be another year of no summer, much different than '09 though because the departures were actually greater in the negative category that year away from the lakes.

Here's a comparison between June 2014 and June 2009. The below average temps are much more localized this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonthTDeptMRCC.png Jun09TDeptMRCC.png Yeah, no question, one of the few regions with below average temps in a sea of bright warm colors. That cool dense lake air is doing a number on our climate. This is for a different thread sometime, but it makes you wonder what happens if lake areas have a cool summer and a cool fall, what implications that may have in the end for next winter?

daddylonglegs Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 83F/71F ...total swamp out there. Overnight we had .60 worth of rainfall. Sunshine and strong south winds. Going to be a greasy bike ride later on...chance of storms is 50% this afternoon, so will have to contend with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I was very concerned about this being a year of no summer for upper midwest, RFD included. All the doom and gloom being propagated along with the snowfall in late May, and Mays ups and downs - I was really bumming. Alas it was for naught - June has been an absolutely fantastic month here, this is the perfect kind of summer IMO, and to be honest today when I walked out and saw the haze and felt the heat I said to myself, Yes, this is summer. Sure don't think I would be cut out for living by the lake. Sounds horrible by my standards. This is where stat pulling comes in handy... For ORD...Stats showed 10 out of the 13 summers following a top 10 cold or snowy winter ended up close to or above normal temp wise. 2009/10 75.2* 1951/52 74.8 (5th most 90+ days on record) 1969/70 74.1 2010/11 74 1961/62 72.6 2007/08 72.5 AVG...... 71.8 1977/78 71.7 1978/79 71.3 1973/74 71.3 1917/18 71.3 1964/65 70.6 1966/67 70.4 1903/04 69.7* *Top 10 warmest/coldest.

stormtrackertf Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Kind of random, but a massive fire happening on the west side of Detroit is showing up as a thin plume on radar, extending from just outside of downtown Detroit into southern Oakland county.It's a pretty clear day so I can see it rising into the sky several miles away.Apparently, there's some kind of controlled burn going on near Harsens Island that's going pretty crazy right now too as seen on the north shore of Lake St. Clair.

daddylonglegs Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Touched 86F this afternoon...the dew did drop from 71F to 65F (??) later so it was quite so greasy on the bike. River is very high and the flow is crazy fast (not good for weekend boating). Weird that the real heat has been more or less absent. Not sure how many 90F plus days we are going to clock in this summer...on the flip side...i can't get a day when the dew drops below 60F ... Plant growth has been amazing...mowing every few days... purple cone flowers are just putting out petals right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Managed 76° here today. Still an onshore component to the wind, but no fog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hit 87 here today. So far one day at 90+ this month. Back in 2012 we had nine 90+ days, and one 100 degree day. The lack of 90+ degree heat may look sort of like a cool month "on paper", but it's been pretty humid much of the month, so it doesn't seem like a cool month at all.

Powerball Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Kind of random, but a massive fire happening on the west side of Detroit is showing up as a thin plume on radar, extending from just outside of downtown Detroit into southern Oakland county. smoke_1403913206349_6553501_ver1.0_640_480.jpg WUNIDS_map.gif It's a pretty clear day so I can see it rising into the sky several miles away. Apparently, there's some kind of controlled burn going on near Harsens Island that's going pretty crazy right now too as seen on the north shore of Lake St. Clair. I noticed the bolded. It led to a pretty expansive Cirrostratus deck that you could see down here in NE Detroit. I didn't know where it was from though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 As long as the mid-level cloudscontinue to hold off, we should get to 90*F+ here today. Currently 84*F at DTW and 86*F at DET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I didn't want to start a thread on this, but there's not really a good place to put it, so I'll post it here. Interesting stats from IWX on their Facebook page- Interesting severe weather statistics of the day.*We have not issued a tornado warning for our forecast area yet in 2014.*In the past 5 years, the average date for the first tornado warning issued was May 11th and the latest in the year was June 29, 2012.*We have only issued 45 severe thunderstorm warnings so far this year. We had issued 86 by the end of June 2013.*In 2011, we had already issued 124 severe thunderstorm warnings by the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The wet June just continues and looks to go out with a bang. Much of the metro area received a quarter to half inch according to estimates with the garden variety storms that moved through. I was in hot humid sticky Madison though, where we had mid 80s with dews around 70F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
