Hoosier Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It probably won't come as a surprise that this will be the warmest opening 10 days of July in Chicago since 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 6 hours ago, Powerball said: It's going to be a race against time today. Starting off warm with a temp of 77*F, clear skies and 925mb temps of 25*C, but the clouds and convection are steadily moving NE. Most models still have us tagging 90*F though, which would make it the 9th consecutive day for Detroit. DET did tag an intra-hour 90*F before the storms moved in, but unfortuntely DTW wasn't so lucky only making it to 87*F. So the 90*F+ streak officially ended yesterday, after 8 consecutive days.

Talk about "biblical", and there's a major dam that's shifting and bowing. Hate to see the results if that fails. What we had in the middle of the Mitt was horrible enough. I know it's a different culture and all, but that one video was just nuts. An open air kitchen/diner with the cook waste deep in flowing (nasty brown) river water while frying what looked like fish on a commercial frying grill barely above the nasty water and 2 customers calmly sitting on their stools waiting for their dinner. OMG how disgusting! Now all those multi-story building collapses as entire down-towns are getting washed away. I've watched wx vid's for decades and this is some of the craziest I can remember ever seeing. I couldn't find the diner with waist-deep brown water flowing past him video, any link or what keywords to search for? That would be two insane wx videos in 24 hours. BTW, did you find out what date that severe thunderstorm you were mentioning about from 2003? The instability is extremely high here today where convection just exploded all over southern ON around 12:20 pm. I wasn't expecting rain til 2 or so and it poured at 1:30 pm instead. Still raining lightly but should intensify. Its too bad the day is ruined with clouds and rain now. Strong thunderstorms? lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 1.57" so far at DTW with more storms moving in. Flash Flood Watch out until tomorrow morning as well with up to 3" possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchener poster Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 0.8” here. But man, about 30 miles NW of me they had to have picked up 3+ inches. Just getting pounded there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Check out the lake-enhanced instability off LE and LM this morning. Pretty wild for July. Might get what CLE is getting now in Chicago tomorrow morning as the next upper low passes by to the south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 MLI managed an AOA 90 today. Currently at 91. Here on the other side of the remnant OFB it has warmed up quite a bit, but not as toasty as south of it. Currently 87/71. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Well, that was fun. The MCS didn't look impressive on radar but boy did it pack some nasty winds. I got about 6-8 minutes of 60-70 mph gusts. Had a brief brownout about 1 minute after the winds started. The winds came 3-4 minutes before the rain and they were the strongest before the rains hit. Pretty sure hawkeye_wx cashed in on this, although not sure if he has power. I never lost power here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1:12 into this video you will see the kitchen or open market food prep going on: (I don't remember mentioning a T-storm event circa 2003. Can't help with that one) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Been quite busy so I did not comment earlier but had very interesting weather on Friday. Torrential downpour hit wyandotte dropping 2.55" of rain in 45 minutes around 730pm. Caused some brief flash flooding and flooded basements despite the parched landscape. I was actually not home when it happened, I was north of Detroit where it was bone dry at the time but that would be the among the heaviest rainfall rates I could recall. DTW, just 7 miles west received only 0.01" from that same storm. Conversely earlier in the afternoon, DTW was soaked with a 1.59" storm when wyandotte only had a trace. All in all the total rainfall for the day was 2.06" at DTW and 2.67" at Wyandotte. Definitely much needed rain and much of SE MI got in on heavy rain but it was really weird how it was coming in a bunch of isolated torrents hitting different areas at different times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 25 years since the big heat wave in the Midwest. LOT page. Certainly a seminal weather event in Chicago https://www.weather.gov/lot/1995_heatwave_anniversary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Not in this sub, but some pretty incredible stuff from out at Death Valley California, at Furnace Creek. They haven't been below 100 degrees (on the hour) since early Saturday morning when it dipped to a frosty 93 degrees. Saturday night, and Sunday night both stayed above 100 degrees. Looks like they hit 127 yesterday. This is a NWS maintained sensor site btw. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/timeseries.php?sid=DEVC1&num=72&banner=gmap&raw=0&w=325 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good trip I'd say! It was mainly cloudy for the 3rd straight day today, awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Looked like today would be a 90+ slam dunk, as models had indicated for the past few days. Lots of clouds COC blocked the potential however. Only 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nice storm about to roll in from the northwest. CAMs I looked at earlier today didn't really show Madison getting much of anything, so that's nice although the severe threat kind of went pfffft.

Tons of lightning with these things 20% chance of any rain overnight, yet the remains of this complex survived all the way to the lake. I'm thinking it's a positive feedback effect of all the rain we had last week; sure beats negative feedback we've had some years with drought developing in summer. Some house rattling thunder even.

madwx Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Really hoping we can find a way to tag 80 today. If so we should pretty easily be able to reach a top 5 streak of days above 80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Low of 59 this morning which is the first sub 60 temperature this July. Managed a high of 79 yesterday so our 80 streak is over. Gave the A/C a break and opened the windows up last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 really like the idea of a linear MCS riding down the lake early sunday morning on the euro, hope it verifiesI definitely think we are in play for an MCS or two that forms in MN and vicinity, to make it in during the Sat night to Mon morning timeframe. But that idea on the Euro of having a complex push SSW from Northern-Lower MI is not gonna happen in a solid zonal W-E pattern. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
