Baum Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I noticed this afternoons forecast out of LOT now has our cool down this weekend still in the upper 80's with what sounds like another surge of heat next week. Nice way to run a July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 97 at CMH today, impressive. Today makes 8 consecutive 90+ going back to June 29th; 90, 91, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, & 97. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 This will be the longest heat wave in Buffalos history. Already at 4 days of 90+, looks to continue until at least Friday. Hit 94 today. If the long range is correct, it will also be the warmest July on record here. Have been floating in my pool every day after work, absolutely loving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice way to run a July. Wouldn't be surprised to see a day or two cooler than that. Regardless of the ultimate magnitude of the pullback, it does appear there will be a resurgence of the heat mid month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 MLI hit 94, hit 97 here which is probably a few degrees too high. Very dry ground beneath station and nearly calm wind likely added a few degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinski1990 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Might have to extend this to July Heat Wave lol. Look at the ridge over a week from now. 597 to 600 heights 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The Euro has been 3-5 degrees too cool for this area for the last few months at least. Applying that to the 12z keeps a never-ending streak of 90s going through the next 10 days. Thursday is close to being in jeopardy though as clouds/precip are close by. For the whole run we get 0.11" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we apply this principle to the EPS control from last night it would be historic heat. It had a massive 600dm ridge over the entire area. The 12z run "backed" off a bit to 597dm. Definitely prolonged heat on both runs and the Euro though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side the GFS has been slightly too warm at times, though has been much closer to reality than the Euro. That's for the immediate metro only, as both models have been too cool for non-urban areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Once again, CID only hit 88º. Just about every other station in ec/se Iowa hit 90+. Last five days: Waterloo (ALO) is a consistent hot spot and CID is a consistent cool spot.

Baum Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 It seems odd LOT wants to message heat to the public, but never includes the words,"Hot and Humid" or "Very Warm and Humid" in text forecasts any longer. Are they not allowed to include these descriptions in the body of the forecast any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit 96° just south of Toledo yesterday. I notice that the fields feel as though they are on fire, just tons of heat coming off that dry ground 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me they should take into account heat indices then so a 90F high with dews expected into the 70s gets that message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I believe the threshold is 95. . Actual zone text forecasts. I rarely read a point and click. Back in the day, even a 83 degree day with good dews warranted a "Warm and Humid" phrase. Even recall a "warmer and more humid labeling" as we transitioned from a summertime cool dry air mass to a warmer wetter scenario. As weenie, always liked those added descriptives.
