Chicago Storm Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Topped out at 92 at ORD and 90 at MDW today.Could have had back-to-back 90's if not for outflow yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 We've hit 90 again today. However, the dewpoint has crashed from the upper 60s this morning to the low 40s late this afternoon. This week looks pretty nice before more heat and humidity potentially moves back in. Rainfall is looking very sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of not needing significant/75+ mph gusts to meet the criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Temps underperformed by a degree today. Topped out at 86 again after temps stopped rising earlier this afternoon even before clouds really started to increase. Hope this Summer will not be filled with too many underperformers.

Chambana Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Got 89'ed kind of a bummer. Highest dp reading was 64 earlier this afternoon, felt pretty muggy for awhile. Looks like the best builds back in by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfusedKitten Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Lmao at all the 90s, it was a comparatively chilly 79 here with a dew point in the high 60s. A pretty intense squall line moved through around 5, wasn't too crazy IMBY but a couple thousand lost power. All in all I'd consider this a perfect weather day, pretty close to climo for mid-summer in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 A lot cooler day here today with the wind off the lake. Still fairly warm farther inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Warmest temp of the season yesterday at 93. DVN hit 93 as well. Back to back 90+ days. Worked outside all afternoon yesterday, but it wasn't bad due to a decent breeze and lowering dews. Really nice out there today. Grass is actually starting to fire some in some of the sunny areas of the yard. Haven't seen much of that the past 2-3 years as we've had consistent rains relentlessly through the warm season. Our last measurable rain was May 28th at 0.06", and 0.46" on May 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There is no party. There is something missing though - interesting weather. On the positive TWN keeps under-doing temperatures and getting the severity of awful weather aspect wrong. Yesterday turned out to be beautiful, today and tomorrow were at one point thought to be write-offs with rain but instead its just cloudy with sunny breaks (rarely though). I notice TWN rarely shows just cloudy conditions for a 6 hour block and the few times they have it didn't verify. 98% of the time when it was cloudy the forecast had rain of some degree.

Agree with you on the overperforming temps. I like to call those bonus days. It's one thing to have a forecast of 80° and if only ends up being 65°... but if it's forecast to be 68° and ends up being 75° - My Point forecast keeps bumping up a degree or two every time I look at it. What once was supposed to be a cloudy/showery/cool first half of the week has now been updated to mostly/partly cloudy and mid to upper 70's. No complaints here! Summer really showing its face starting Saturday/Sunday and lasting through the middle portion of next week - as of now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Euro really turns the heat up after Saturday, especially west of Chicago over Iowa and Missouri. Even out this way we do get close to 90 next week, but out west it could be a week filled with 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine for Wednesday just jumped way up too - it was shown for a few days to be 19 with a touch of humidex but TWN now has it at 23 all of a sudden. Its true that pattern from the PMX engine usually means it won't verify but I look at it as maybe it will bust low some more so 27 could be the high. A cold rainy day during this month has never yielded a overall good day in my experience so having zero of those, is a month to treasure. Another good thing is almost all the rain recently has been falling in the middle of the night like summer 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground has really dried out the last 10 days, and dews are forecast to stay generally below 65 through the weekend. May see our first 100 degree day in Iowa/western IL if things continue to trend this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 New 12z Euro has a few 100 degree readings popping up in southern IA on Sunday, and also has parts of eastern SD pushing 110. Better enjoy this cool stretch we have going on this week while it lasts lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 GFS looks quite a bit cooler than the Euro beyond Friday. Guessing it will lose out to the Euro like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 GFS is also too high with surface moisture, and has had the tendency to be too juicy the last few years. It's about 5-10 degrees too high with dews across Iowa and surrounding areas right now. That likely factors into why it's so much cooler with the surface temps compared to the EC.

Yeah and it is still pumping out dew points widespread mid 70s starting as soon as Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Impromptu "chase" this afternoon of a large dust devil south of town. Was on the way to Geneseo when I noticed a large dust cloud ahead. Figured it was probably from a tractor or something, but as I crested a hill I saw that it was a dust devil. Of course I had to follow it, and found a little country road that lead me pretty close to it. After I got closer I noticed it exhibited multiple vortices. So, on the last day of my "chase vacation" I bagged something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see that issue improve. It seems like it's predictably high (and by a significant margin) unless we're in the middle of summer with fully grown crops or in a moisture pooling situation.
