Hoosier Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 90 at ORD... let the streak begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 There's a zone of dews in the 40s in parts of northeast IL/northwest IN, so even though temps are around 90 it doesn't feel too hot out there. Nice breeze too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 90 at ORD... let the streak begin.That ended up being the high, with 91 at MDW. Could see a streak of up to 7 consecutive 90+ days if things work out perfectly. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Looks like temps are underachieving more out west. Moline is struggling to get to 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps have come up well short of expected highs across Iowa this afternoon. My NWS forecast had 95, but we only slowly rose through the 80s and maxed around 89. Des Moines expected upper 90s, but only maxed around 91. Mowing the neighbor's lawn this afternoon wasn't too bad with only upper 80s, moderate dew, and strong wind. The lawns are browning quickly. No doubt there will be an expansion of "abnormally dry" in part of Iowa when the drought monitor updates Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30 and 60 day deficits are starting to build, especially the past 30 with some areas less than 50% of average precip during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 3 hours ago, cyclone77 said: 89 here, which is the warmest so far of the day. Dews are only in the upper 50s. Dews in that moisture axis out to the west are generally in the mid 60s, which is about 5-7 degrees lower than most of the models had forecast. Scored another dust devil on the way home from work a little while ago. Was surprised to see one with it being so windy (gusts well over 30mph). Always thought they were more prevalent during lighter winds with less mixing of the superadiabatic layer. Also, screw tornadoes, just gonna chase these things from now on lol. Nice! But I was expecting to hear round here during this one. :) First 80 degree day, and it shot straight to the top! 89 was the high here with gusty down sloping winds near 40 mph. The positive was it kept the punishing BUGS away for a day! They seem on another level this year.... My legs are scabs, but I guess that's the price you pay to live in paradise, eh?

Gotta hope the potential rain chances mid next week and around next weekend show up, but as I said yesterday, general chances for rain seem to improve going forward, which is nice because some is needed. Although 12 and 18z today have no been nearly as encouraging.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like MLI got 89'd lol. Winds were more southerly than yesterday when winds were west-southwest. Looking south in Missouri temps are all <90. Think we may have had a very subtle hint of relative CAA from upstream. Just enough to take a slight bite off the temp ascension. That, and dews are a few degrees higher than yesterday. Northeast IL had similar wind direction, but the air is still drier there and may have allowed for a slight advantage over areas just immediately to their west.

Underachieved a bit, only hitting 84. I don't see that 90-degree streak happening here starting tomorrow since TWC still has its fork stuck on it (forecast of 87 degrees) and now on Wednesday (forecast of 89 degrees) while NWS still wants tomorrow to be the beginning of the said streak. At this rate, TWC seems to want to go through this month without a 90-degree day. Better off waiting until at least next month, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Ugh, got 89’ed again yesterday, second time in a week. Today has a higher starting point, already 78 degrees, so our string of 90’s start today. What was once forecasted to be a cooler than normal month, may turn out to be above- to much above for some.

cyclone77 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 DVN with an explanation of why temps underachieved yesterday. Sounds like it was so windy at the surface the superadiabatic layer was overly mixed. Max temps yesterday were several degrees cooler than forecast. This probably occurred because the continual mixing of 18-19 C air near 850mb to the sfc prevented the formation of near sfc superadiabatic lapse rates that typically develop when winds are lighter. Conditions look similar today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Area of clouds currently over the metro/ORD/MDW holding temps back a bit. Still 82 as of 11am at ORD, with the cloud deck slowly eroding. Hopefully should still make it to 90, but probably not the low 90's it once looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Two amazing observations a little earlier today on the other side of the planet. First is at Medina in Saudi Arabia. Conditions were 115/1 making for a RH of just 2%. You would shrivel up like a dried prune if you were out in those kind of conditions for very long. Second is at Jask in southern Iran, on a peninsula that jots out into the Gulf of Oman. (It's on the right side of the pic where the dew is 90). They reported 100/90, producing a heat index of 147! Wind was blowing in off the extremely warm/shallow waters of the western portion of the GOO. Amazing how extreme the weather can be at times.

Jonger Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'm glad to see a cooler pattern is on the horizon. Bring back the sun and mid 70's. (That's optimistic, probably more like 80 and sun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Currently at 87F. I can expect temps to hit a brick wall about everywhere soon. Just as I thought, TWC has recently thrown in the towel on hitting 90 this week, especially tomorrow, and even the entire month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
