cyclone77 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 MLI 89'd today unless they bumped higher after climo. Got warmer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Even our cooler post frontal days are torching. June is going to switch to a positive anomaly in the next couple days and could end up quite warm. Which will be quite impressive since we only had 2 above average days through the 13th and those were both only 1 degree above average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, with the miss south this morning, corn is starting to wilt and shrivel around here. It’s been an impressive heatwave in these parts. Crazy reversal of weather, cool and wet was the theme until 10 days ago, and now burnt grass and corn parched for water. Heatwave #2 next week. Was going to take the boy to the Brookfield zoo next Wednesday, but that’s postponed. Expand Yes I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Expand 2012 could be classified as a flash drought... it came on very fast. The thing about droughts in this part of the country is that they don't tend to be multi-year events (an obvious exception being the dust bowl years) and it's probably becoming even harder to get a multi-year one given the overall trend toward increased precip. The deck is stacked against going extremely dry for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Locally, I'm not very worried about drought for a couple weeks yet. We had probably around 2-2.5 inches this week between Monday and Wednesday's storms, and have had a decently wet last month or so. My area in particular has really scored on several popup scenarios that most of the region did not. The Crawfish is actually at bankfull stage right now from the rain the last week here. We can go about 2 weeks or so as it stands without too much trouble. For most of the rest of Southern Wisconsin, it's more like a week with hot and dry before stuff starts to dry out as like I said, rain has been pretty localized for the most part in certain areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Here's the weekly and month to date precip. Not a problem at this point but you can see how there'd start to be one in some areas if it's another week or two of well below avg rain with the upcoming hot temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman33 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I lived through nearly three straight months of no precip last year. Wake me up when that happens again. Some oaks are struggling but hickories are fine this year. Fortunate we got good rains this past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand was just going by the LOT zone forecast. But anything above 85 is summertime to me. I know you prefer blazing heat. on cue i see the updated zones go upper 80's as opposed to low 90's.

Chinook Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Here's a rare extremely clear day for the Midwest. I noticed that some of the crops seem to be quite light-colored today. Here is the black/white visible and also colorized visible. I wonder if the corn is showing a lot of light-colored tassels in a bunch of areas. I have also always wondered why eastern Arkansas has a light color on visible imagery at almost all times. I guess the other possibility is that Ohio is a desert today-- lots of sand! Wow, there's really not sandy soil. I just made that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 4 degree spread between ORD and MDW right now. That's nice. MDW being at 87 is the sign to me that upper 90s are in play there tomorrow. Based on various factors, I have been figuring that tomorrow adds ~10 degrees to the highs in the area (obviously more than that for areas impacted by lake breeze today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Up to 88 at MDW. Today just reaffirms my thought that going with or even a little above the warmest guidance should be a pretty good play for Chi area for Mon/Tue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
