Chicago Storm Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 yeah, garbage environment but i was expecting to remain totally dry looking like another miss tomorrow/wednesday As was I, until later this evening.I think we'll see some scattered activity tomorrow and Wednesday, but nothing severe risk worthy.

Geos Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Made it down to 50° here this morning. Hasn't even cracked 70° here yet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Top notch stuff later this week, aside from Thursday. Looks like I'll be at the beach all weekend, mid summer is the best. Wednesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Thursday Cloudy, with a high near 77. Friday Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. Saturday Sunny, with a high near 83. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 85. Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by tomorrow that slight risk moves east and least most of WI and IL out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think by tomorrow that slight risk moves east and least most of WI and IL out of it. NWS Chicago certainly thinks you won't be the main area of concern, but still thinks you'll get something half decent Also worth mentioning is the SPC slight risk in the Day 3 Outlook for Wednesday. The focus for this may shift a bit to the east depending on how progressive the front ends up being, but there certainly is plenty of CAPE and sufficient shear to support the possibility of organized convection, with hail and especially wind being the primary concerns.

cyclone77 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Big difference compared to yesterday. Thermometer says 93, but prob more like 90-91. Dew at 67. Think the weather station may be starting to crap out. Consistently running 3-4 degrees too warm lately. Some wussy pulse storms blowing up over southeast IA/west-central IL in yet another day in June with H5 winds under 20kts. Feels like we're living in Atlanta in July. Hopefully a weather system with some balls shows up sometime before the end of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models looking fairly ridgey in the extended, but we may start to break it down and bring in some stronger flow aloft by the middle of next week. Something's gotta give for the northern IL/IN crowd at some point, you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started doing the same thing...I read up on it and found the issue is common. It's even a problem in newer units as well, even though they're supposed to have an upgraded version of the sensor and housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a big tree in the back, (a little to the west of it) that I had cut down after the GHD2 storm destroyed it. That used to keep that area fairly shaded during the peak heating of the afternoon. Maybe it was sort of covering up it's tendency to overheat a little in full sun situations. Have been putting off getting an aspirated VP2, but maybe now would be a good time if these issues continue, or get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on upgrading to the same within the next year most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Mine is 8+ years old now. I plan on upgrading to the same within the next year most likely. Cool. Yeah I think we'll both enjoy the upgrade. I'm looking around online right now for the best deal. Sure hope paying extra for the aspirated version is worth it, as it's quite a bit more. Went out and braved the 90+ heat earlier this evening and shot this time lapse. Was hoping this updraft would do a little more, but it refused to play along. Nice to watch the boiling convective clouds at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with the VP2 with 24hr fan aspiration, and also got the rain gauge spikes to keep the birds off of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed the birds bothering my rain gauge before. Wouldn't be good if the birds crapped in the rain gauge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than a bird crapping in your rain gauge lol. The current station (Davis Vantage Vue) hasn't had any issues with birds, as the anemometer cups are spinning less than a foot away from the gauge. That keeps the birds away. The VP2 doesn't have the anemometer permanently mounted near the gauge/other sensors like the Vue. I plan to mount it 6-12ft higher than the rest of the instruments, so the anemometer cups won't be a deterrent like they are with the Vue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I've never had problems with bird crap, but through the years I have had a few instances of spiders mucking up the tipping mechanism. Maybe not tornadic, but looking forward to a day of possible strong storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Things starting to dry out around here. Spotty rain the last few days has missed both north and south, as well as decayed before arriving. Could use a good soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Oink oink. Pig ridge coming to a location near you. Looking at low level thermal profiles, could get pretty hot if mixing is even halfway decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
