Geos Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Supposed to hit 90° tomorrow, so we'll see. Seems like the dewpoint has been stuck near 70° for days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 86/82 at Belleville IL. Nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Still 78/75/84 as we approach 2am. Shouldn't have too much of a problem reaching 90 again today, but not sure if we'll be able to top the 93 from yesterday. Braved the thick humidity (and the return of the 'skeeters) this evening and shot a time lapse of the southern sky's Milky Way. This is only around 90 mins worth. Need to get a few backup battery packs if I want to do longer lapses in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Most of the local TV stations going with 90F today (I personally find it interesting to predict 90F on the dot, I think they love to do that to increase ratings, jmo). It's not the first time this year most of the stations have predicted 90s or 90 on the dot. I think we'll hit the mid to upper 80s, but any convection this morning makes it difficult to predict 90F.

Gilbertfly Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 79/76 at 9:00am.... Lost 4 lbs of water weight on the walk to school and back with the boy this morning...AC set at a delightful 82 inside. Lawns look like early May...cut my lawn twice in the last 7 days...unheard of in late August. It is music to my ears though with the landscaping co.

Chicago WX Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 79/75 at 10:00am. Pretty freakin gross. Barring a thermometer malfunction or some other weird happening, first 90 of the year is upon us. It was a good run while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good run while it lasted. I'm still not sure if we'll make it but it's likely the best shot so far this year. Arguments for and against: For: MOS and 2m temp output from multiple models support 90 degree temps Somewhat warm start with a low of 70 Sun looks plentiful Against: Models generally not convincingly showing temps over 90 850 mb temps are very warm but mixing heights may not be ideal Wet soil Summer trends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt it makes 90° today! Storms closing in quick here in Racine. Outflow boundary will probably start to form and spread south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nervous nelly. All for kind of a dumb threshold. But I see no way it doesn't happen today. No clouds at all, torching at 850, wet ground shouldn't be a factor with two days of drying, etc etc. 82/75 at 11:00am. Up, up, and away...

Up, up, and away... 10/10 rule might work pretty well on a day like this. It was 79 last hour, 82 now. Days are still pretty long. Everything adds up to this being a photo finish.

Everything adds up to this being a photo finish. I don't like that rule. We'll see. But anyways, medium/long range looks like a torch...so plentiful chances in the future. I bet we end up with at least 6 days of 90º+ before the warm season is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If we don't approach 90 here, I hope the TV Mets head it, as many of them were looking at model forecasts showing midday convection and still went with 90 with a straight face.

Obviously it can't be used on days with rapidly differing sky conditions (sunny to cloudy or vice versa) or rapid WAA/CAA but neither of those issues look to be present today.

cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 86/77/97 here. More clouds today, so don't think we'll be topping yesterday's temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Pouring buckets here in Rockford, going to slow our temp progression significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd like to see 86 or 87 on the next hourly ob at LAF to still be in the running for 90. If it's 84 or 85, it's gonna make it tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 90/81 at PNT HI of 109 Really hope these boundaries don't ruin our chance at an 80 dew point later. Think we'll clear out next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll clear out next few hours. With a 3rd boundary heading south...90F and an 80F DP isn't going to happen, unless you're near/south of I-80.
