weatherbo Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Cool and dry. 44 for a low this morning. Thinking Sunday night could drop into the 30's, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Euro and GFS both have widespread dews in the mid 70s to low 80s next week/weekend... entirely believable given the time of year and recent rains (with more to come by then). My guess is that temps/heat indices will at least end up similar to the recent hot stretch, with certainly the potential to exceed in magnitude and/or duration.

Fortunately it hasn't all come at once, so we've been spared the widespread and damaging river flooding that took place ten years ago this month. Of course that stretch was also accompanied by tornado outbreaks, something this season as conspicuously lacked as we chasers/severe buffs are all too aware. Yeah, at least not all of these heavy rain events have been cold, stratiform rains. Madison themselves have seen over 20 days since May where they reported thunder. Also, our best severe weather season can extend into July or even August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how high temps will get. Otherwise extreme dew points will likely cause widespread heat indexes of 110 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Looks like today's high temp at ORD will only be 64. This is about 20 degrees below normal...which is hard to do in late June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I know the official station was right up against the lake when many of Chicago's April-June record low maxes were set...but that's crazy. The lake water temps must have been very chilly in the late 1800s and early 1900s during the spring-early summer. I wonder how reliable the data is.

UMB WX Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 16 days with precip this month so far. 10 day's of highs in the 60's and prob another handful not much better in to very low 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yesterday we managed to briefly hit 74 at dtw before noon then it fell to the 60s during the afternoon. An overcast day but only sprinkles and a broad evening shower. Big rain bust here. It has been a very comfortable week after the heat last weekend. Still feels nice out but it's definitely high humidity despite temps in the 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 ORD had a diurnal range of only 5 degrees on 2 consecutive days. If I didn't miss something, it looks like that hasn't happened (consecutive days of 5 degree range or less) since December 26-27, 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Overnight model runs more or less maintained the heat potential in the extended. The most impressive relative to average was New England, with the Euro/GFS having max temps of 105-109, which would be in all-time/off the chart territory for those places. Plenty of time for that to back off though... I'm sure residents there would appreciate some backing off given that air conditioning is not as prevalent.

I don't know, except far northern New England, I would assume air conditioning is just as prevalent in most of New England as it is here. Just because summer is relatively short does not mean it doesn't get blistering hot at times. Even when it's Sunny and 80 out really you do need air conditioning to make it comfortable inside.

Hoosier Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 GFS has ridiculous areal coverage of 80+ degree dewpoints by Thu/Fri. It may be less widespread in reality but the more prone areas will certainly see 80+ imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Idk how corn is looking elsewhere among the sub, but my goodness I’ve never seen the corn this far along so early in the season. The field corn is approaching 5’ already in some areas, and the farmers sweet corn patches has already tasseled with tiny ears visible already! Usually this doesn’t happen until around the first to maybe second week of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many areas in central Illinois, as well as northern Illinois have seen 5-8” of rain this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 If you want the highest dewpoints anywhere in North or Central America next week, it may be the Midwest. I'll have to check out the Middle East to see about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 One of the notable mets around here got this day wrong, it was a chamber of commerce, 10/10 day! Plenty of sunshine, temps in the low 70s for most of the day, and a comfortable, calm evening. It's the first quality weekend, and it's not only quality, but looks to be nearly perfect.

weatherbo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 44 for today's low. 7th night in a row in the 40's. Today's point high is 59, with chilly ne winds off Superior. While I do not mind this weather, my 'maters are definitely not liking it. In another month, the afternoon sun will begin to fall behind the trees on the hill and essentially end my garden sun.

I am lucky if I use my central ac half the summer in a typical year. If you get a nice cross breeze it isnt necessary outside of the hot spells. I have a portable ac in my upstairs bedroom that I use most summer nights because its warmer up there, but central air isnt necessary even here, window or portable units can do the trick. So really its just a personal preference. But when looking at this data, if someone in new england who doesnt have ac acts like its some freak anomaly when it gets warm, thats their own fault.

It's labeled as 'L'anse Township' but it's actually out in the Huron's somewhere around Herman, maybe. It's also 1,700ish feet elevation, so basically on par with you. Gives some decent numbers for high elevation western UP. Hey, that's awesome, thanks! I had never seen those stats before, but yeah, that does pretty much mirror my climate... Although I think I'm a little more prone to lake breezes and other cooling effects of the lake. I think that’s the co-op observer near Herman. Still only 47 at 10 am with the wc periodically dropping into the upper 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
