They've generally had a little lower temps aloft than areas farther north/west. Maybe less mixing too but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think tomorrow is 90+ at ORD, so it looks like Monday is the first real threat to the streak. 850 mb temps are progged in the 16-17C range. If that can trend even a hair warmer (a half degree to 1 degree), then another 90 degree day may be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed but not denied after what happened yesterday.Very briefly intra hour.I'm surprised today ended up warmer than the past 2 days. Both Thur/Fri had warmer UA temps. I know Thursday had the cloud issues, but yesterday didn't.Leads me to believe 90+ is a lock tomorrow, and Monday might even hit 90. Even with continued cooling of UA temps each day.

Even with continued cooling of UA temps each day. I know I wouldn't have bet on 95 today. Each day without rain is another day to dry the ground, so yeah, I wouldn't have high confidence in Monday failing to reach 90. Monday will also have a decent starting point (70ish).

Hoosier Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Lake breeze has pushed through ORD/MDW. Hasn't made it here, at least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Warmest day of the stretch so far here. Hit 93 after starting way down at 65. Back to 91 now with some pretty beefy cu floating slowly overhead. Should keep temps from going any higher. MLI has been as warm as 93 AFAIK.

Chambana Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Multiple records over the coming days in jeapordy here locally. Currently 95. I believe that should beat 94 from 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 18 hours ago, michsnowfreak said: 87 in the Soo is crazy but I gotta go with 95 in Traverse City as the shock value. That's crazy. DTWs hottest temp of the year was 92 on June 12-13. It's weird to see the Lower peninsula enveloped in 90s while the far East side, including the Detroit heat island, stayed upper 80s. Some of those places,, especially Traverse City, get heated up even more by downsloping if the wind is from the south...like it has been. My area heats up fast when the wind is from the East and downslopes a bit. It seems like the past couple of years that the eastern part of the state has been cooler and snowier in general when compared to West Michigan and its averages.

MAke that 91*F at DTW, which is a record high (previous record was, as you can imagine, 89*F in 1936). DET also managed an intra-hour 90*F high.

Chicago Storm Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The high was indeed 95 today at ORD, and as mentioned it broke the previous record for the date of 91 (1937). That makes today the 2nd warmest day this late in a year on record, only beat by the mentioned 99 on 9/29/1953. Today also ties 6/12 for the warmest day of the year, making it the latest warmest day of the year on record. MDW also hit 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least today was the day all three climate sites (CVG, DAY, CMH) had the chance to hit or exceed that after they all got 89'd yesterday. Good festival weather.

vpbob21 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The places that hit 95 today (ORD, MDW, GRR, maybe others) came within 2 degrees of the hottest temperature in the country today. Pretty impressive stuff. I would think the hotter spots in the subforum again tomorrow could be within a couple degrees of the national high.

Stebo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 So lets do an evening round up on Julytember 23rd. It is still 77 in Charlevoix, 72 in Munising, 70 in Copper Harbor. Closer to home 75 both here and Grand Rapids. Also not quite as warm, but Alpena is at a solid 71/70 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
