cyclone77 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Up to 87 here, which is actually ahead of yesterday now. MLI 3 degrees behind yesterday for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 This has to be by far the biggest heatwave of the year in the Midwest. DTW set a record of 91 sat and tied 89 yesterday. They will likely not hit any records today or tomorrow. Unless we hit 90 today or tomorrow, DTW will finish 2017 with 5 days of 90+, well below the normal of 12. The breakdown is 3 of these in spring, 1 in summer, 1 in Fall lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've already moved on to tomorrow lol NAM would get it very close to 90 tomorrow. GFS a little cooler. Tomorrow will have organized sw/wsw flow ahead of the front... something we haven't seen a lot of lately. Curious to see the RAP/HRRR later.I just can't envision it happening tomorrow.I'll continue to ride with 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to hold off the more significant clouds until at least 1 or 2 pm. I think it's possible. I'd go 89 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 90 at ORD as of the bottom of the hour. 6 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 90 at ORD as of the bottom of the hour. 6 in a row.That was easy. Figured it would be harder and take longer.91 should be easy now before CU expands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 6 high temp records in a row. Longest such streak since 9 consecutive in March 2012.If you're including ties, then March 2012 had 9 consecutive. Including only new records set, it was 5 straight 3/14-18 a tie on 3/19 and 3 straight on 3/20-22. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 One thing I was curious about with this streak is if the lakefront location prior to 1942 helped with breaking some of these records. It turns out that it may have with the records on 9/20 and 9/24. On 9/20/1931, Midway Airport hit 92 degrees, so this year would've been a tie using MDW data as the official Chicago record. On 9/24/1891, the previous record holder for 9/24 with 91°, the Aurora COOP hit 96 degrees. Midway was the Chicago climate site for previous 9/21-22 records and none of the non-lakefront sites on 9/23/1937 were warmer than this year, so those are very impressive record highs.

It seems a bit strange that temps are ratcheting back a degree or two per day during a heat wave. Usually at the least temps stay as warm as the spell goes on, if not warmer. Especially with an incoming cold front. Woops. Up to 91 now here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Today is the 6th consecutive day on which the temperature reached or exceeded 90° in Chicago. It is also the 6th consecutive day on which the temperature set or broke the daily high temperature record. That ties the record for longest September heat wave with 9/8-13 1931 and 9/4-9/1959. It also further exceeds the previous record of 4 consecutive days after September 15, which was set from September 19-22, 1895 and tied during September 15-19, 1955.

So 3 times in spring, 1 time in summer, 2 times in Fall Toledo has hit 90 today, so they have had four 90 degree days June, one in July, and five in September. None in August. Toledo's hottest temp in August was 87, which is fairly unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had taken a quick look at Calendar Day Summaries in the NOWData section, which only lists the most recent occurrence in the event of a tie.

Chinook Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I discovered something interesting about the non-hot August. Toledo's maximum monthly temperature of 87 in August was very unusual. An August max of 87 or less has only happened in the Augusts of 2017, 1986, 1981, 1967, 1915, 1904, 1882, 1877, and 1875. That's 9 times since 1873, or once per every 16 years, and only 6 times since 1900. Source: NWS NOWDATA, "Toledo Area" which merges Toledo City data in the old days with Toledo Express Airport (post-1954). Of course, if you were to count the 88's, then the number would go up somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 The little engine that could that is ORD is up to 92. I'd be nervous betting against 90 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Cedar Rapids jumped to 91 this hour, making this day five of 90+. We only hit 89 the first day of heat. The end of the heatwave is approaching the west end of the subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen that in the northern states in September. DTX said they did officially measure heights of 591dm overhead yesterday. EDIT: A couple runs of the GFS were showing heights above 594dm with the potential warm spell upcoming in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Throwing caution to the wind and going with 90 at ORD tomorrow. Wouldn't even be shocked at 91. Mild start again, and going to gamble on clouds not being enough of a factor in time to stop it. The signs are there with model performance in this pattern, and trends, including the early runs of the RAP and HRRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Impressive stretch is pretty much over from here west. Looks like mid 80s should do it tomorrow. 5 of 6 days in a row of 90+ here and at MLI. Would have been 6 in a row if it weren't for that festering MCS Thursday morning.
