cyclone77 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Dew's up to 76 now. Highest of the season. Clouds finally broke up a few hours ago, and we've jumped into the mid 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Every site in Iowa except Dubuque and Mt Pleasant (which are at 74) are AOA 75 degree dews at this hour. Six sites AOA 80. Extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dewpoint just hit 80 in Cedar Rapids. Tonight's possible action here in Iowa is still a mystery. A severe line and nothing at all both appear to be on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dews climbed into the 70Fs here..which has been hard to come by this summer...feels like it...they were low 60Fs earlier. Major t boomers over mn...who knows what gets in here later... could use some rain here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just mowed a short while ago. Extremely oppressive. Had to get 'er done since it will be even worse tomorrow, and more rain on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Only managed 77° today. Lake breeze still has a punch to it at this date - and it might straight until August! Got the lawn cut on Friday, so glad that's done for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGuy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 With the record wet six week period we have just had, any heatwave we get this month will be accompanied with excessively high dews/oppressive humidity. I reckon today is a good example of this for IL, IA, MN.. Maybe the overall cool pattern is a blessing in disguise.

Torchageddon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Its been decent over the past few days but I'm still not reaching forecast highs much if at all. It was 79ºF but the high was suppose to be 85ºF. Yesterday's number was predicted at 86ºF and it only got to 77ºF. I'm missing storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My dewpoint never fell below 76 overnight, as hot and steamy as a night can be around here. Weather luck sure can change overnight. In June I received over 10 inches of rain. Through the first half of July I've received 0.47". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Picked up 0.07" a little bit ago from the tail end charlie. Was weird looking out the west window and seeing the whole west sky clear with it raining. Dew has dropped back to 66. May not get the extreme dews here since OFB may not make it back this far northeast before more storms pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Can see the clearing to the northwest now. Saw some faint mammatus clouds as the storm line moved on by. Thinking low 80s for today with lower than forecasted dewpoints. 66°/65° currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 75/69 now with lots of low clouds. Kind of wish I would have waited and mowed this morning instead of last evening lol. Didn't think it was going to be this "comfortable" out there at this point in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 86/81 in Cedar Rapids at noon. I think CR may have hit a dew of 84 once during the 1995 heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 0.96 in the tippy bucket from the line is a.m.. Even had standing water here in town that was almost to the doors of my car. Might head out in a bit and see how many roads in the county are unpassable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive. Wouldn't surprise me to see you guys hit 82-83 in the next few hours. Dew up to 76 here. 79 in MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dew now up to 80 here. Clouds broke up finally and allowed the temp to jump up to 90. Feels like a sauna out there. EDIT: Excessive heat warning now in effect for QCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Euro continues to indicate an even more expansive, and also extremely unstable air mass this weekend over much of the MW. Maxed out values on weatherbell (>6000j/kg surface cape) over a huge region. This time it looks like a major cap keeps most of the buoyancy under wraps. Something interesting to watch as the week goes on at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 A tree in the park did not care for this mornings convection and decided to lay down. The storm drains have been working overtime with all this rain. Adding insult to injury, it is about to start raining here, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Euro continues to indicate an even more expansive, and also extremely unstable air mass this weekend over much of the MW. Maxed out values on weatherbell (>6000j/kg surface cape) over a huge region. This time it looks like a major cap keeps most of the buoyancy under wraps. Something interesting to watch as the week goes on at least. Last I checked the models, this weekend definitely seemed like a decent severe weather setup (including here). Even with the cap, all it will take is a MCV or enhanced zone of convergence to get things going. Furthermore, if things play out right, it could be the first heatwave of the season for some of us. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Just glad to have some additional action to look forward to. Sometimes after one of these bigger events it quiets down for awhile. Ended up with 0.67" of rain here today. High hit 92, with the highest dew of 81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides possible storminess at times, looks like more opportunities for 80 degree dews coming up. Tim rejoices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 1.11 through the tippy bucket this evening. Making a total of 2.07 for the last 24 hours. Getting to the point of being a little excessive in this area now. It can stop at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
