Chicago WX Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 6z GEFS say: wetter returns week 2...6-10 day normal-ish temps...and then cool to close the last 5-6 days of the month. As usual, we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Not so much. Clouds rolled in around 5:00AM. Couldn't even get as cool as yesterday morning. EDIT: hit 50º again. Such a tease. Fair number of 40's reported elsewhere in the state though. lol, we're failing at everything since the end of winter. 51 degrees at 4 AM, you figure we'd have it locked up.

We used up all of our good juju, from last Nov through the winter. Hopefully it reappears down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow poke Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 44 here this morning with thick fog.... cold spot as usual, Grayling, 39. should see 70's for the first time since Monday. APX: Congratulations northern Michigan, you Win. Northern Michigan reported the coldest afternoon high temperatures yesterday for the entire lower 48 and much of Canada. Our place is about 8 miles due south of Grayling, it's crazy sometimes how much colder it is there compared to us. They are a little lower in elevation in a large valley so I'm sure thats why. 10534758_667473176660616_1955461825017015769_n.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well one good thing about this cool weather, you don't have to worry about mosquitoes to speak of. Temperature Info from UGN showed it dipped to 48° this morning. Enough of a light wind gradient to allow for a lake breeze today. Currently 71° at Waukegan, 75°+ inland.

The mosquitoes have been the worst I can ever remember here. Just horrible. Even during the day you need to spray yourself or you're screwed. I'm not sure why but I assume the wet and cool weather has been perfect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same and you would be correct, cool and wet is very favorable for mosquitos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive through that stretch of I-75 at least a dozen times per year and each time I go through Grayling, my car thermometer bottoms outs. The elevation, the trees, who knows.... its just a cold spot consistently. I will record 10 degrees in Mount pleasant, then -15 in Grayling and back up to around zero in Gaylord quite often during an early morning pass through on that stretch of highway.

They are in the Au Sable River valley, the airport is also in the valley which is why they run colder in the winter. Look at some of the colder spots in the state comparatively to their surroundings. Big Rapids/Muskegon River Valley. Ann Arbor/Huron River Valley and Pellston/Maple River Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to see why, as they sit in a bowl pretty much and are wide open at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first place in the lower peninsula to have foliage change colors is right near Grayling, I have witnessed it as early as Sept 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wow, the GFS and Euro reminds me of Congress the middle of next week, they can't agree on anything. The Euro dumps a sharp trough and backdoor cold front through the lakes while the GFS depicts ridging expanding across the area. Just based on climo, the American model wins.

Chinook Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So I wonder if the GFS is running a bit too moist for early next week: I would say yes, I don't think those 85 degree dew points will verify Talking about those 85 dew points... the GFS still has them. Check out this ridiculous sounding for NW Iowa at 132 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy to get 85 degree dewpoints and have to think the GFS is overdone, but with deep moisture and if mixing isn't a problem then maybe some areas reach 80?

Oh I do think 80 is certainly possible, it is mid summer with corn well established plus it has been a wet summer thus far. I'll tell you this though if storms were to form in that type of atmosphere, you would be talking about some crazy amounts of rain with multicell clusters especially considering the storm motion is only 10-15kts.

nwburbschaser Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The numbers are overdone, but early next week is going to be juicy in some areas west of here. With all the rain recently I've been wondering what kind of dews can show up this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Alek's point, it must be pretty rare to go through an entire year without a 90 degree temp here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
