Spartman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Despite a lot of cloud cover from the MCV throughout much of the day, temps overperformed a little and managed to sneak in one more 90-degree day which I can see as the last time 90 will be hit for at least the rest of this month.

Stebo Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 94 at DTW today, and it might rain here at home in the next hour if the storm to my southwest doesn't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small local airport in Napoleon, OH hit 98° today about 25 miles west of Toledo. Definitely an overachiever heat wise, was rough on the hangover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 MLI has 23 90+ days so far. Funny thing is the max of the summer of 99 occurred back in late May. More than likely will not be beaten, as it's pretty hard to get much above 95 unless we really dry out for a long period of time. We probably would have tagged 100 3-5 times this summer if the crops were like they were back in the old days before the frankencorn was developed.

thomp2mp Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Of course, the first day in a long time we're under any threat of severe weather, KDTX is down for radome maintenance until Saturday. Anyone got a way to view TDTW other than wunderground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 93 at both ORD and MDW today. Oh yeah, max hourly temp at ORD was 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 MLI 89'd today. Second time this past week. 88 here. Dews have dropped a good 10 degrees from midday. Definitely feels better out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 This past 30 days has really been good on the moisture for many areas of the northern Plains and western Kansas. I guess these areas are stealing the rain from Michigan and vicinity, and northern Missouri, Kansas City region. Even my area in Colorado has gotten over 2" in 30 days, which is above normal for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, ORD never actually logged 93 on the 6 hourly max temp. Made me wonder if there was some kind of mistake but 93 is what is on the CLI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 There's a robust MCS ongoing over here this morning. It's the classic back-building, storms-on-the-back-edge scenario. I've been on the front edge, so it's just a solid slow-soaker here. An area just southwest of Cedar Rapids has received 2-3 inches of rain this morning, with more heavy rain popping over them. It's going to take a while for this stuff to dissipate, so afternoon instability is iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I never got into any real heavy rain, but steady moderate rain with an occasional low-end heavy downpour added up to 1.19" over several hours. The sky has cleared behind the rain, but it's still only in the mid 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Assuming S Michigan / N Indiana / N Ohio get some rain in the next 3 days, it would do a lot to relieve the dryness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Quite the light show out there at the moment considering it’s 2am. Wasn’t sure how dynamic this system would be but appears it’s pretty dynamic given we’re not really in the warm sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 There may be a fujiwhara dance with the low overhead and the one riding up the coast, making for an unusually dreary mid-July weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is surprising. It's not like it fell after the Tuesday cutoff. Here's the text for Michigan: In Michigan, topsoil was rated at 68 percent short to very short and subsoil conditions were 72 percent short to very short. Local reports indicated that soybeans in parts of Michigan were less than 2 feet high and the leaves were flipped and showing their undersides. USDA reported that soybean conditions were 20 percent poor to very poor across the entire state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last weekend we were treated to nice cool highs in the low 70s due to overcast conditions but the rain was light. Today a brief but good storm blew through here, complete with hail, but only dropped 0.20". This brings the July total imby to only 0.88"! That is very dry for any month but especially summer. DTW fared a little better, picking up 0.36" with the storm for 1.26" on the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
