cyclone77 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The Iowa complex crapped the bed before reaching us per usual, but the dense canopy of clouds have kept temps nice and cool today. Only 67 right now with a few sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'll go 95, 97, 97 at ORD for Saturday, Sunday, Monday For Saturday, debris clouds could be a bit of a factor. Will hedge toward it not being much of an issue at this point. If max warming can be realized, then at least 95 looks attainable and perhaps a tick higher. Sunday appears to have the least amount of complicating factors. The GFS continues to run a little cooler but even its thermal profiles aloft would support mid 90s. Our of respect to the warmer models and given that the day should start off in the upper 70s and with plenty of sun, will lean toward a somewhat warmer high. Monday looks to have very similar thermal profiles aloft as Sunday. Given that and a starting point near 80, will bank on temps being very much like Sunday even with the possibility of more clouds than Sunday. I still would not be all that surprised to see this day end up the warmest of the 3, especially if full/nearly full sunshine occurs through afternoon.

cyclone77 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm a little nervous about my 96/98/98 call for Sat-Mon at MLI now lol. Cloud debris issue on Sat that Hoosier and Chistorm pointed out, and the models are creeping the front closer and closer on Monday now. If trends continue Mon may end up getting cut short. Also, the corn around here is WAAAY ahead of schedule. The early season heat, and recent generous rains have most fields at chest high already. Back in late May the corn was maybe a foot tall. Tremendous evapotranspiration from the fields and wetter soils will make it harder to heat the landscape compared to the late May episode. Will ride my previous call for now, but DVN is probably right to stay conservative. At this point 100 is looking pretty unlikely, which is disappointing considering a 99 has already been attained this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I know that the topic here is a forecast discussion in trying to nail the temp forecast based on conditions. However, for Joe Public, this heat will have a much more adverse effect than the May episode because of the higher dews. Heck, when FWA hit 97° on 5/28, I did a double take because it just didn't feel that warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 A little more on 80 degree lows in Chicago... It has happened 8 times since the official observation site moved to O'Hare in 1980. Looking through the hourly obs on those 8 days plus an additional 3 days when the official site was at Midway and for which hourly obs are available, all of these days have some things in common. The winds at night generally were at least 6-10+ mph (except for maybe one hourly ob here and there). Dewpoints on almost all of the nights stayed in the 70s. The preceding days high temperature was often upper 90s or hotter, but not always. For anybody who wants to look through the dates, here's the list: 7/21/1972 7/22/1972 7/6/1977 7/15/1980 8/3/1988 7/13/1995 7/14/1995 8/1/2006 7/18/2011 7/6/2012 7/23/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat indices around here only briefly crossed the 100 degree mark before dipping back into the 90s and in some cases dropped lower than the actual temp. Monday could be especially bad as the moisture pools ahead of the approaching front. Had a pretty decent sunset here this eve. Had to fight through some gnats to get this shot lol.

Expand OT, but I put in a first-year garden and must have timed the planting just right. I put tomatoes and sweet corn in the ground around the first of May, which coincided with the temperature switch being flipped and also aided by timely rain. My tomato plants are already 56" tall and the corn is three to four feet tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
