SchaumburgStormer Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I am playing in a golf outing Friday afternoon. Not often I drink anything other than beer on the course, but it is looking like a Gatorade day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Town Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 From an anomaly standpoint, does this heat wave extreme compare to the Arctic Outbreak with had this past January?? It's a windchill vs. Heat Indices thing but I was curious to see what everyone else thinks?? Also, interesting to note that this heat wave will come and go in three days much like the Arctic Outbreak did. Went from a high of -10's to a high of 58 in 3 days.

Actual air temps on the coldest day were over 40° below avg in spots. Actual air temps on the hottest day will be around 15° above avg. Friday will be dangerously hot, but its nothing places havent seen many times before, whereas the extent of the arctic blast was nearly unprecedented in spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, you can't get the same level of crazy anomalies in summer like you can in winter. Just not possible. But even after accounting for that, the arctic outbreak was more impressive for the most part. We can look at return rate, and the return rate for that would be longer than the return rate for the upcoming heat wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's literally impossible to get 40 degs above avg around here. What are averages in these locations Upper 80s? It would need to be 128 degs to have the same difference. The highest temp in history is 134. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as concerned as I once was for tomorrow, but still am for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a very warm start to Friday can help to compensate even just a little. I noticed the 3 km NAM wants to bring some convection through Thursday night/early Friday, which would have some impact on the low temp/starting point on Friday. Not a high probability scenario but something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 LOT upgraded to warning for the vast majority of the cwa URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Chicago IL 214 PM CDT Wed Jul 17 2019 ...A PERIOD OF DANGEROUS HEAT EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA... .A multiple day episode of dangerous heat is expected Thursday through Saturday. There is a potential for showers and thunderstorms Thursday morning that may keep Thursday cooler than forecast, especially in the morning. However confidence is increasing that dangerous heat will arrive later Thursday afternoon and peak in intensity on Friday. Additionally, there will be little relief from the heat overnight Thursday and Friday. The urban heat island core of Chicago is most susceptible to night time temperatures that do not cool significantly, limiting the amount of relief that can occur at night.

The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued an Excessive Heat Warning, which is in effect from noon CDT Thursday to 7 PM CDT Saturday. The Excessive Heat Watch is no longer in effect. * HIGH TEMPERATURES...Peaking well into the 90s each day, with Friday and Saturday potentially in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees. * MAXIMUM HEAT INDICES...Peaking 104 to 114 each afternoon. * LOW TEMPERATURES...Lows only in the upper 70s to near 80 on Thursday and Friday nights will offer little to no relief from the heat. * IMPACTS...The cumulative effects of temperatures and heat index values this high could lead to heat related illnesses with prolonged exposure. Those without air conditioning, elderly, small children, and pets are especially susceptible. Plan ahead. Have a cool place to shelter from the heat. Avoid outdoor activity, especially strenuous ones, during the peak heating times of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 LOT now has 99/80 forecast for the high/low at ORD on Friday, which is very close to putting it in some elite company. I mentioned there have been 8 days with a high of 100+ and low of 80+ for Chicago. Here they are. 7/5/1911: 102, 82 7/27/1916: 100, 82 7/30/1916: 102, 84 8/6/1918: 101, 82 7/10/1936: 102, 80 7/13/1995: 104, 81 7/14/1995: 100, 83 7/6/2012: 103, 82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm rooting for MLI to bang triple digits Friday. Would be pretty interesting to attain a triple digit and a -30 reading in the same year. Hit 94 here today before the MCS rolled in. MLI 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If memory serves me correctly I think the 1995 heat wave happened in conditions that were much drier as far as precip up to the heat wave than what we have experienced this year. Could be wrong in my thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Last week, the euro was suggesting we could get a 9-day stretch of 90+, with a few days of 100 possible. Here we are at Wednesday of the following week and we haven't even started the heat wave. The Cedar Rapids airport has only hit 90º once, three days ago. We should certainly reach the 90s the next three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely more likely given how things have gone. The DPA-MBY/06C-PWK area has been the warmer spot all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a day or two hacked off the front end, and the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest change from what was seen on guidance a few days ago is that there is no real ridge developing...instead we are seeing a more zonal flow.

RyanDe680 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I'll go with 95 - 101 - 94 Thurs - Sat at ORD. This is honestly better than snow precip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 HRRR really puts a dent in highs tomorrow in northeast IL, due to convection lingering into the afternoon. Storms look fairly likely to occur, so I think it's more a question of timing. If it gets out during the morning, then it will have no trouble shooting into the 90s. If they persist into afternoon, then all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they persist into afternoon, then all bets are off.All hi-res coming in has some sort of activity earlier in the day. The 3k NAM is the most extreme, and I’d guess overdone as well.So we’re probably either going to have late recovery and barely hit 90...Or somehow most activity stays north and/or exits very early with mid-upper 90’s..

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Omaha still at 90 with a heat index of 99 as of 11pm. Several sites along the I-80 corridor from western Iowa towards Grand Island NE had dews in the 80-83 degree range earlier this evening. Surface moisture pooled nicely south of the east/west oriented boundary just north of that zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
