hlcater Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yards are getting quite dry out here as we’ve not had much in the way of rain since the beginning of July. Luckily though there appears to be some chances tomorrow into the beginning of next week. Some models even have 4” in spots. But currently expecting about an inch or so.

Hoosier Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Some areas south/west of the Quad Cities may have a shot at 100 tomorrow. Should be upper 90s at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 ^Yeah tomorrow's looking toasty. I'll go with 97 for MLI. Hit 90 today at both MLI and here. Grass is fried. 0.31" for July, and only 0.45" since June 22. Full sun, heat, and lack of precip is taking it's toll on the area lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised ORD and the Chicago area’s temps stalled due to a little cloud debris. Expand MKE cleared out more than Chicago later in the day.

Expand With regard to this, I found an observation of 99/61 at MBY. In this case, MBY does not stand for "my back yard," but Moberly, MO. With this dew point, the heat index is (only) 100. However, it is most likely that the dew point in this area really more like 67-69, and the airport sensor is a few degrees off.

IWXwx Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 IND averages 18 90° days a year. They hit 20 days today, 21 is a slam dunk tomorrow, and 22 may happen on Sunday, the mid way point of met summer. For reference, the record at Indy is 58 days in 1983, and 2012 had 51 days.

CheeselandSkies Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Got some nice boomers headed my way, although the severe stuff looks to miss just to the south. This spring/summer (after the abominable cold went away) has featured no shortage of thunderstorms, just not much if anything predictably severe beyond Day 1 or chaseworthy. That's what saves it from being the worst summer weather in my memory, which was 2012 (unrelenting heat, but no thunderstorms let alone severe).

Expand It's way out but at this point I'd say there are some positive signs for a decent winter, looking at how things are playing out with various indices and the early indications from the seasonal models. One potential spoiler could be the Nino... if it becomes more formidable into the moderate range (which some guidance is suggesting) then I'd get a little more uneasy about the prospects for a cold/snowy winter, but that doesn't automatically mean crappy winter. Anyway, probably my last post about winter for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 For those interested in severe weather, NCEP is running the 36-hr HRRR, four times per day. It might have been interesting to have seen this in April or May. When severe weather is more active, I would be interested in seeing the 00z, 24hr forecast of the HRRR, as a supplement to the other main convecting-allowing models.
