Indystorm Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 51 minutes ago, Chicago Storm said: 90+ at ORD will likely be delayed and a closer call than it should have otherwise been for today. Cloud deck associated with an MCV continues to sit in place and regenerate across portions of the metro, slowing the temp rise this morning. Dews in the low to mid 70's will still make it feel icky. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 it's gonna fade here and we'll rallyNot sure about that.Probably will have to claw upward.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Buf hit 90 for its 6th day straight. Tomorrow and Friday are likely the warmest days of the streak, so a virtual lock to break the longest 90+ day streak in Bufs history! It's extremely difficult to hit 90 here with the lake breeze, this heat wave is unprecedented here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Finally 90+, and up to 91 at ORD.This lingering cloud deck has been eroding a bit, just in time before anvils move into from the t’storms across the SW metro.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's our 7th straight day ~90F. At this rate, July 2020 could be the hottest July ever recorded in Toronto and I reckon it's the same for Buf.

Hoosier Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Today was the 12th consecutive day with a high of 85+ at ORD. Some of these non-round number streaks can start to get silly, but the 85+ one has some significance because it's basically the cutoff of what the highest average high temp is in Chicago. Other top 85+ degree streaks below. All of them occurred after the official observation site moved inland (first to Midway and then O'Hare). This year's streak should end up high on the list. #of days, ending date 21, 7/9/1949 16, 7/23/1983 15, 7/22/2005 15, 7/13/1966 14, 8/9/1988 14, 8/8/1983 14, 7/11/1955 14, 6/22/1954 13, 7/9/2012 13, 6/25/1995 13, 5/25/1977 (impressively early one) 13, 6/21/1956 13, 9/3/1953 13, 8/14/1947 12, 7/2/1964 12, 8/30/1959 12, 8/5/1955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides being in the early stages of disco fever , the winter was extremely cold here, followed by a record warm spring...and a snowstorm in New England on May 9-10.

wisconsinwx Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Milwaukee was 89’d today (only got up to about 86F at my place) so no official heat wave with this first spurt of mid summer heat (only 2 days of 90s in a row and 3 on the year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Lake enhanced OFB quickly moving south along the WI shore, and just about at the IL/WI border.That might be enough to prevent 90+ today, as it’ll easily be through ORD before noon. 83 at ORD as of now, so the race is on..

This type of extreme long-lasting heat is unheard of at our latitudes (Buf and Tor). If I'm not mistaken, I believe 1921 is also the hottest July ever recorded in Toronto. We averaged 78F in July 1921. Factor in today and tomorrow and we'll likely be running more than 3-5 degrees above the previous records lol. Has Buf ever hit 100F?

BuffaloWeather Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Warmest temp in 25 years here today. High of 97 today at #Buffalo not only smashes previous record for this date (92 last set in 1988), but is tied for 3rd highest temp on record for any day. Last time we were this warm was July 15th 1995. #nywx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be legit for a variety of reasons, but I'd hope they would check it to be sure. MLI hit 91 today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
