Yes, looks much drier and it appears there was a drought that summer. Looks like a lot of places had diurnal ranges near or even in excess of 30F. The climate seems much too humid and wet to achieve that today. 1988 was somewhat similar, but much hotter in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was woken up by some fairly close lighting strikes around 3:00 AM last night. I think it was thundering for a full hour but somehow only 0.22" fell. I don't know what happened. Screw zoned.

I didn't see or hear of any high totals from Wednesday night's rain in this part of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Weather couldn’t be anymore perfect right now, 80 with 44% humidity. Kicked off Father’s Day weekend with some smash burgers off the blackstone , topped with Vidalia onion, garden tomato, sweet pickles and mustard. Cooked the pops dinner and we shared some IPAs. Happy Father’s Day to all those fathers out there, and especially @Brian D this has to be tough for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of Illinois are worse. The short term is really getting dry here though, and the lake shadow messes with convective rain a lot this time of year.

Not something most people would think about until the live it for a few years. The lake shadow is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 A bit toasty in the TN valley today...Memphis is 101/75/115. Just unbearable...and it has been like this for a few days already, with no significant relief in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The end of that 18z GFS is absolutely nuts. There are areas that are 110+ at 18z on 7/23, which wouldn't even be peak heating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we see ridges like that but the 850 mb temps are sort of tame or mixing isn't that good. But in this case the 850s are torching with excellent mixing. All fantasy land of course.

Most summer severe events are associated with heat somewhere nearby. You just have to be on the perimeter. If the perimeter of the heat dome is up in Canada that's where the severe is. Troughing is the least conducive, at least north of the OV. If you aren't right next to the GOM (aka spring dixie outbreaks), you can't really built up enough CAPE without a cap to the south or west.

Powerball Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 As far as the fantasy range heat & 600dm ridge, the Ventusky app is showing widespread highs of 115°F to 120°F across the Central/Southern Plains which would shatter any all-time highs. What would make that even more impressive if it happened is that the grounds won't be all that dry (except across Texas). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get a chance to see the 12z GFS until now, and holy freakin cow. Even more impressive than the incredibly hot 18z run from yesterday. I actually can't recall ever seeing anything like that modeled in this subforum before, with verbatim highs of 115-120 in parts of the region. 2012 had some pretty crazy model runs, but not quite to that extreme.

Powerball Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 12z GFS was at least a step back from the insane 06z GFS. That was a whole 'nother level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6z run didn't seem as impressive in the Lakes/OV, but I flipped through it quickly so maybe I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
