Hoosier Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 For sure. Solid/persistent signals in the guidance on the large scale. As you said, it's the details that are up for grabs. Many times there are attempts to build big heights northward in the extended that ends up getting thwarted by convective clusters, so that is a risk to keep an eye on especially with northward extent.

BuffaloWeather Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 We are going to have by far the warmest July on record here. From KBUF It appears likely that there will be another heat wave during the July 16 - 22 period, potentially even hotter than the heat wave ongoing. Check out the latest 8-14 day temperature outlook from CPC. Is anyone ready for winter yet?

On the flip side, the near-shore areas may be too warm for LES in the early season events, plus warm water in the summer/fall does not necessarily correlate to high seasonal snowfall.

Obviously not going to predict 100 in Chicago yet, but I'll feel better about the prospects if we get through the next several days without a large amount of rain and the models keep showing what they are currently showing. ORD has started to dry out lately and by the time this round of heat comes, it *could* be about 2-3 weeks of being on the dry side. Historically, a lot of Chicago's 100+ degree days have happened during significant drought or at least when not having much rain in the preceding couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May and June weren't dry and neither was July... there was only about a week prior to July 30 that was dry. But generally speaking, you definitely want it more dry than that.

Hoosier Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 12z Euro was ridiculously hot south of I-80. It actually has maxes near/over 110F for a few days in eastern MO. Color me skeptical about that magnitude of heat. There were a few isolated spots in the Ohio Valley that hit 110F back in 2012, but you need pretty extraordinary dry conditions to pull that off.

It actually is backing off the extreme heat especially the farther east you go. It's been showing temps around 100 for all of Ohio but the 12z is now showing low/mid 90's for most except far northeast with temps in the upper 70's/low 80's. Wouldn't surprise me too much to see it back off a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ensembles still have some support throughout the Lakes and OV, just going to be mitigated some days in northern areas by occasional MCSs.

This x2.Tue-Thur is the biggest question as to where the hottest temps are located and where the ROF pattern sets up, with the first initial push of ridging. Past history says bank on the southern end of guidance for that.On the flip side, the amount of support for the ridging and widespread hot temps to build into much of the region for Fri-following week is tremendous. .

frostfern Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Ridge is delayed a few days now. Tuesday cold front looks stronger and wetter maybe. I think when the ridge finally builds it will have soupy humidity with it... so nasty heat index values. Mid-to-upper 70s dewpoints and low 90s looks more likely than triple digit heat.

Definitely looking like moisture will be able to pool near and south of whatever quasi-stationary front is in the region later next week. 12Z Euro has heat indices 105-115 w/ that. Usually the 588dm height line is a reasonable estimate for the ring of fire, latest EPS means suggest the delay in more widespread heat, too. Wet weather next week in the Corn Belt would definitely support the 75-80+ degree dewpoints if such a pattern materializes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, whenever the ridge flexes in, it’ll reach up north too. Fri-Mon looks like one of those times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri and Iowa are going to see the highest actual temperatures because it's been dry there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Still several days out, but there is high agreement on Fri-Mon being the time the ridge flexes enough to push the heat northward around here for a few days. But even before that, 90 is within reach tomorrow and Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
