snowlover2 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Heat and humidity look to continue for the first few days and then there are signs of some relief around the end of week 1/beginning of week 2 time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTXYankee Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Great looking forward to the same old June crap. Leftover rain blobs, no storms, and miserable below normal temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could definitely manage temps being below normal as long as we get plenty of sunshine and it doesn't rain every single day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's feast or famine around here. I've had .1 inches in my rain gauge since the frying pan lit back on the 24th. It's amazing after last month I'm having to water my garden every evening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 ORD 89'd today, while MDW hit 91. 90 here, making it the 6th consecutive 90+ day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I do have a question. I know ridge position during these MCS/MCV is important along with latent boundary's. I've just kind of noticed over the last 72 to 96 hours that here east of 65 and north of 70 we've had a long fetch paralleling lake Michigan. Meso analysis has consistently shown a bit of a more stable environment ie. lower dews, cape lines, 850 dew lines, really compressed - to + east to west along the fetch. For instance yesterday there was literally a wall of stability along 65 right in line with the winds off the lake all the way down to KIND before the boundary layer and storms spread to the SE. Does the lake have that much influence this far south or has it just been a coincidence with the position of the ridge over the southern plains?

Maybe the positioning of the ridge and trough is just right in that the lake enhances the already present instability gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Today is the 6th day in a row that FWA hit 90°, a bona fide heat wave. In fact, with tomorrow looking to top 90 again, it will be the longest string of 90's since the incredible 22 straight days in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Almost wonder if we will see a positive feedback loop here shortly with these warm temps baking unplanted soil. Feels like a desert here in Toledo with temps sticking around high, it's currently 85° outside! I picked a good week to come back from Columbus, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Gonna be a scorcher here today unless we get a pop up. Was 84 at 9am. 89/71 at noon and cooking. Feels like I'm back in SC lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEPO Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 LOL, ORD being totally useless as usual Current temps: ARR: 90 DPA: 90 PWK: 91 MDW: 90 KORD: 86 Honestly, it’s a joke at this point. LOT really needs to do something about this. This isn’t isn’t acceptable, especially at a first order major reporting site. I don’t understand what’s causing this cold bias, but it’s getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much truth to that? The GFS is showing a lot of warmth in the long range, but I’m skeptical. On 6/2/2019 at 1:20 PM, Spartman said: June is probably going to be a write-off. With the highest temperature of the year so far at 88 degrees just over a week ago (May 25th), it's going to take until at least next month to try to exceed it. On 6/27/2019 at 3:01 AM, Spartman said: 89'd today at DAY, highest temperature so far this year. Have a feeling it may be the highest it's going to get for this June. A little good old fashioned bump trolling. Seventh day of 90° here with another likely tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like peak temp of 91 there so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hottest day of the season so far for both here and MLI at 96 degees. Nice thunderhead in the northern sky atm, as a little cell has popped in the heat of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Still freakin 90 at 8:30 in the evening (7:30 in my book. Sorry, I never sprung forward until I was 30). They keep saying 30-40% chance of storms so I'm in the 60-70 percentile daily lol. Going on 10 days with no precip other than a couple light sprinkles.

cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Just heard the first cicada of the season. They usually signify summer is growing deeper in season. Looks like we won't have quiet, cicada-less evenings again until sometime in September. Picked up 0.03" from a cell that crapped the bed overhead.
