Chitown Storm Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 90 on the backyard thermometer. Mid 90s certainly within reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Up to 83°. More intense heat north and west today. Grass is pretty green at home, but in Racine it is burning up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 a prolonged warm period would be great for early fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGuy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Muggy today imby. Currently 78/73. Looks like we will be getting some thunderstorms soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I got a crack of thunder from a rogue cell that has popped up on the Canadian side of the border. Otherwise, still on standby as far as storms.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Made it to 88 here, but with dews near 70 it was pretty warm. Hawkeye must have moved his bird bath to the CID ASOS. They've been consistently 2-4 degrees higher all summer with their dews compared to surrounding locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Topped out at 90 here and at ORD today. 8th 90+ day here and 6th time at ORD this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 today had potential for some decent outlfow driven south movers to ride down the western edge of the lake but it's looking less and less likely Little later, but still good call. --- High of 88° at UGN today.

RCNYILWX Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Little later, but still good call. --- High of 88° at UGN today. Yep turned out it was a case of delayed but not denied, much to the chagrin of this forecaster Overall though it was a tough one because a key was the OFB did not race too far ahead of the convection. Also HRRR was not completely out to lunch but it was way too early and widespread this afternoon so it makes it harder to have confidence in the forecast.

RCNYILWX Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Could use the rain. Looks like a prolonged period of generally seasonable to above average temps coming up. Looks like you're gonna get some rain after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nice to see some IL peeps get in on some action tonight. Out here near the MS River benign weather continues. May get some storms Mon night though. Noticed the walnut tree in the side yard is already getting pretty yellow. It usually is one of the first trees to turn in the fall, but this seems a bit early.

SchaumburgStormer Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Nice to see some IL peeps get in on some action tonight. Out here near the MS River benign weather continues. May get some storms Mon night though. Noticed the walnut tree in the side yard is already getting pretty yellow. It usually is one of the first trees to turn in the fall, but this seems a bit early. I had a young maple turning colors about a month ago. Talked to an arborist and determined that the tree was stressed due to a lack of water. Started watering it, and it perked right back up.

ClicheVortex2014 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I enjoy watching the jet stream adjust to the upcoming season on the models; GFS is showing hints of a less Summer-like pattern... stronger mean jet stream, dipping further south. Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGuy Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 75/68 imby and mainly sunny. Starting to look like autumn with the trees beginning to turn in my neighborhood, about one week early, but still feeling the summer. 16 days and 13 hours until we change seasons...

IWXwx Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 For an environment that was supposedly hostile for storm maintenance into Northeast IN, 1.02" overnight says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Prime day for lake breeze convergence I think. Cells starting to go up in southeast/south central WI and north central IL. Sitting at 84°/72°, which easily feels like 90°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Anvil canopies that the northeast IL convection puked out has made it down this way. Cooling us off a bit. Made it to 90 earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 We had some insane t-storms here overnight in regards to training/thunder&lightning/rainfall. South Pendleton (6-8 miles north of Buffalo Airport) reported 7.7 inches of rain overnight, could not have fallen in more than just a few hours. Lots of flooding. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=buf&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF From retired NWS met Steve McLaughlin: “Impressive storm! From single cell over s niag county at 11 pm to most intense siege of violent storms in several years over buffalo metro by 2 am…whew! Terrific lightning! It’s those subtle boundaries in these humid air masses and warm August lake fueling overnight storms. It’s amazing how mesoscale we are…the lake protects us during daylight hours in summer but watch out in late summer overnights! 2.35″ here in main/n forest area of wmsvl in about 90 minutes 130-300 am. This is the most in a single day in my 4 yrs here. We were all fortunate in that we had been quite dry for several weeks so runoff was fast and few problems left. Now just sunny and steamy” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 High of 85° here today. Very humid all day. Lake breeze only helped marginally. Was fun watching the towers go up along the lake breeze boundary between 2-5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Today is day 31 of the 80 degree streak at ORD. A top 5 streak is inevitable. It might be threatened on Thursday but I'm not convinced. If it goes past Thursday, then a top 3 placement may be in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
