Chicago Storm Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 15 minutes ago, Hoosier said: Clouds definitely putting a bit of a dent in the temps today. Some thinning/breaks evident in visible satellite moving into northern IL so we'll see if there can be a little mid-late afternoon bump. Based on temps out west in IA and south in IL, 95 probably would have even been hard to accomplish at ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 86/79/100 at DKB. Could have been worse but for a stray storm earlier in the day. Mostly cloudy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Its been nice to have a good ole fashion summer again.. Pretty meh heat but consistent of late.. sad thought. 3 months from now we'll be starting to lose leaves off a few tree's, and Snow chances will be increasing to the north. 87/77 at KMKE. Gonna be tough to deny a high of 90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 My hand analysis of heat index, from 95 to 110. I made a little mistake near Chicago. I could have put some of the yellow 100-degree contour down by Paducah KY. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I prefer 90/80 over 100/60. High dew is more interesting than high temp. I don't want to spend all day in the sauna, but I do like to go outside once in a while to warm up. An 80º dew feels good for 5-10 minutes. I still remember the day in 1995 when Cedar Rapids hit 100º with an 86º dew (heat index 131º). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The morning and late-afternoon clouds held the temp below the expected high temp around here. It's mid July and today was long expected to be a particularly hot day, and we still struggle to climb above 90º. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Welp, 90*F isn't going to happen today. This heatwave definitely fell way short of expectations locally, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the weekend flux northward for northern areas definitely fell short in terms of temps...Though high DP's and high HI's did pan out yesterday. Areas further south, from last week through this upcoming week, will be the winners this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
