I'd like to see the dewpoint get a bit higher at ORD before committing to it. Right now it's 93/72. If it occurs, it would only be the 4th time that an 80+ min has occurred in June. Highest June min is 81 on 6/28/1913. My rough thoughts are: 20% chance of min 77-78 40% chance of min 79 40% chance of min 80-81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoalCityWxMan Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 95/82/119 here now. It’s became completely unbearable in the last half hour or so here. Edit: Dews have been increasing considerably in the last 1-2 hours around here, with most stations nearby reporting low 80’s for dews now.

Geoboy645 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Now were up to 95/80/117 here. This is most likely the hottest heat index my station has ever recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinski1990 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have a feeling dews will get to 80 or above even in central in later. Already 92 77 at my place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two guesses on why, but who knows if either are correct... Continued ongoing widespread construction is still ongoing on, on and near the airport property...including near the ASOS location. Additionally, MDW is closer to the rural areas south of I-80, while ORD has double the distance. So with the southerly flow, maybe that's making a difference as well? Even PWK is 3F behind MDW.

beavis1729 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 MSP is 98/72/107. Since 1873, Minneapolis has reached 100 degrees on 66 days, including 9 days in 1936 (8 of those days occurred from July 6-14 ...peaking at 108 on July 14). The last year with two or more 100 degree days was 1988. Seems like their 100 degree climatology is similar to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mainly the biting black flies, mosquitos, and the horseflies that are the most troublesome. Unexpected severe storm a bit ago made it really muggy. Yeah I am going to snag some heavy duty stuff from my grandparents this weekend for up there. It is looking hot all week too, so instead of sightseeing I might just go to Round Lake and hit the beach there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Hoosier said: Are you on board with an 80 degree low at ORD tonight? I still think it is more likely than not, and have noticed that the models have a tendency to drop temps in the city too quickly. The HRRR gets it down to about 78, even with a ~7 degree drop between 7 and 9 pm tonight, which is unlikely to happen. 80 or 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Pretty crazy heat for Northern Lower, APX issuing its first ever excessive heat warning. Quote Considering the rarity of the expected heat and the complexities mentioned above, as well as the fact that this is a busy summer holiday weekend across northern Michigan with lots of outdoor recreation, have decided to hoist an excessive heat warning for all of northern Lower. This will run from late Saturday morning through Saturday night, as little relief is expected overnight into Sunday morning. According to data from IEM, this looks to be the first excessive heat warning issued by APX. Sunday is looking to be another very warm and muggy day, but not as hot as Saturday. Potential convection and clouds will also make Sunday`s temperatures trickier, so will leave to later shifts to decide if any areas may need a heat advisory.

Hoosier Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Midway Airport (or the 3 SW observer) has never recorded an 80 degree low in June... with records available back to 1928. So we are likely to see that happen for the first time, and on the last day of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Dew is up to 78 at Midway, with some 80 degree readings in more of the fringe areas of Chicago metro. Next few hours will be the time to watch for 80 potentially popping up at more sites as daytime mixing wanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's point is up to 91 now. Been up north way too long to have any heat tolerance anymore. It might as well be 110. Average summer dew's up here are in the 50's.

Hoosier Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 93 at ORD at 00z. Fwiw, when ORD went down to 78 on the morning of 6/17, it was 91 at this time the day before. Similar winds but higher dews for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Cedar Rapids only hit 91 this afternoon. 91-94 was common across Iowa, shy of the forecast temps again. This has been the pattern during recent heat. It was still plenty hot, though, with a dew reaching 79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
