hawkeye_wx Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 DVN is getting excited about next week's potential high humidity and storm/flash flooding threat at the edge of the intense heat dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Maybe worth creating a dedicated thread for this upcoming stretch? Large scale pattern is quite favorable for multiple rounds and likely across the subforum, starting with later Sunday-Sunday night through Monday-Monday night. With a persistent huge CAPE reservoir and likelihood of enhanced northwest mid-level flow associated with any stronger shortwaves, this appears to be one of the better extended stretches of potential for a larger area in recent years.

AppsRunner Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Have a feeling I'm too far west to catch any ring of fire action this week. Just hope the A/C keeps working well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Certainly not in our area but I think it noteworthy that this Sat, evening the Fairbanks Alaska NWS has been issuing some t storm warnings for golf ball size hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Images from those storms near Delta Junction, AK I mean, that's normal right? Seriously, if I said those were from Wyoming no one would been shocked. Also they issued 6 total warnings with some verification a few gusts at/over 58mph.

michsnowfreak Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It's been a very comfortable July so far. Got exactly 1 inch of much needed rain in my backyard Saturday (had my mom go measure) but I was in Traverse City for a 3 day weekend which was dry.

Hoosier Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 This is a big IF but if cloud debris isn't an issue around here on Wednesday, then thermal fields (850/925 mb temps) would support mid to perhaps upper 90s with nearly full sun. Pretty high dews as well. I would be more conservative for now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 HRRRx has 100 degrees for the QC tomorrow, with lower 100s in southeast IA. Seems a bit overdone, but could be quite hot nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I was expecting it to be more humid today. It was this morning, when I woke up to a mid 60s dewpoint, but this afternoon we've fallen back down to about 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I was unaware how dry areas of central Illinois were until I cruised downstate to visit my parents today. The Decatur to Springfield line could certainly use a soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Topped out at 92 here today. Going to be exceptionally dry here this month, unless we can manage to get an MCS or something to move through central IA in the near future. Currently Ames is at 0.02" for the month, and only 1.06" since June 15th. DSM is doing slightly better just because they managed a couple popup storms over the last few weeks, but for the most part I would expect a pretty widespread drought across the state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When driving north on Friday it was noticeable how much more lush and green everything was once north of the Detroit metro area. We have gotten much needed rain since Friday however. Got 1.27" at DTW and 1.00" imby Fri and today DTW had 0.50" and though I havent measured it poured quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I got 0.75" of rain today, so mby has received 1.75" from July 7-10. Coincidentally 1.75" is also my exact total from May 30 - July 6!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 This morning was another day when a morning MCS provided some rain for Toledo, with 0.95" and 1.20" reported in the last 24 hours at Toledo airports. When I lived there, many times when MCSs would die and give Toledo/SE Michigan relatively boring gray weather in the morning hours, sometimes with no lightning.

cyclone77 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Highest dews of the season so far this evening when we hit 78 for awhile. Felt awfully sultry out there. Especially with the light winds. Saw quite a few nice updrafts go up in the distance at varying times this afternoon/eve, but all avoided this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
