Chinook Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 On 7/2/2018 at 8:42 PM, Chinook said: Toledo hit 91 today to extend the heat wave to 4 days, with dew points of 70+ on each day. Toledo could have 6 out of 7 days above 90, assuming it makes it to 90 on July 4th and 5th, possibly with 70+ dew points on 7 out of 7 days. Toledo overachieved with 91 (sub-hourly max) with dew points of 73 in the afternoon. The streak is at 5 days of 90 temperatures and 5 days of 70 dew points.

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Made it to 92 here today. A rare occasion where we beat MLI, as they made it to 91. Heat indices were near 100 but it really didn't feel that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t think it’d get as bad as the last stretch of heat as far as humidity goes but this afternoon/evening was just as bad if not worse around here.

weatherbo Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Another warm one today... 88 forecasted. The tomatoes, peppers, and sunflowers are in heaven! However, with the way the seasons seem to rubber band lately (imo), late summer will probably be cool so enjoy the heat while it's here! Happy 4th you guys!

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Forgot to mention last night that the cicadas are already out and buzzing. I've never heard them this early before. Makes sense since it seems later in the season than it really is. We've been in sort of an August pattern since late May. Makes you wonder if we're going to have an early Fall. Up to 87/78/99 already. Dews are really high across all of Iowa, Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Most places are in the 76-80 range. Happy 4th guys!

wisconsinwx Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 What an impotent lake breeze today; with a 10mph east wind MKE is 89/75/100F at noon, warmer and more humid than ORD with a S wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 MLI up to 93/77/107. Dew hit 81 here earlier, but back to 76 now. Have had a few very tiny cells pop up southeast, but they pop up and die very quickly with zero shear. 2018, the year with no shear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Will be interesting to see if anybody comes in with the rare 600 dm at 500 mb on tonight's soundings. Models generally have the ridge peak at 598-599 dm, so close but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 After a brief respite, looks like the heat surges back by later this weekend and especially into next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 From a friend of mine 10 min away from me. Weather station in the shade is at 98 degrees with 75 degree dew point making it feel like 111. I can tell you this is the hottest I’ve ever felt in my life anywhere and I’ve been to Florida and the Carolinas in the middle of summer many times.

Hoosier Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Lawns look a little browner compared to a couple days ago. There were decent rains a while back but the past week has been somewhat dry around here. Outside of whatever happens in the next day or so, the pattern coming up doesn't look very wet for a while. Cue Chicagowx to accuse me of banging the drought drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Been thundering here for the past half hour, with a little light anvil rain (0.04"). Another cell is approaching now but it's a race against time since they crap the bed so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Had a pop up air mass t storm just before 3 p.m. today. Heavy rain but no wind. Muggy this evening for fireworks displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'd say a pretty nice Fourth of July, and interesting weather. Went down to Summerfest right along Lake Michigan where it was a much more manageable 80F or so with still plenty of humidity but a comfortable breeze. Then as I was returning, the skies opened up and a thunderstorm dropped around an inch of rain through parts of the Milwaukee Metro. One of the more impressive thunderstorms this season, just a ton of thunder and lightning. Not so good for the fireworks displays around here, I'll bet most of them will be postponed.

You mean the town/city fireworks? That's why they should be scheduled for the 3rd (so that the 4th can be the backup day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
