hardypalmguy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Port Washington CMAN site reporting 100. About as close as you're gonna get to an official 100 for you there.Officially I hit 98.3. I had 103 in 2012 and 100 in 2021. Crazy how it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 98 today both here and at DVN. MLI languished at a lowly 97 lol. Dewpoint hit 83 here, and 82 at DVN. Highest heat index hit 123 here, and at least 119 at both DVN and MLI. About as bad as it gets to be sure for this area. Tomorrow looks like a very good shot at 100 actual temp, but dews should be a tad bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Shown here are generally the record highest dew points for the Toledo area, slightly higher than last August. The upper level ridge the Plains and (apparently) record high temperatures at the Gulf of Mexico water surface helped it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I wasn't sure Cedar Rapids would be able to hit 100º, but we did it. I am a bit disappointed the dew maxed at 79º. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidIcewx Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Interesting KILN update NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... A complicated and low-confidence forecast for tonight is slowly starting to come into slightly better view. The ILN CWA is currently on the southern periphery of a very potent 925mb theta-e advection regime, with high theta-e values extending from the middle Mississippi Valley region through Lake Erie on a generally WSW-to-ENE trajectory. This is currently feeding the severe storm near Cleveland, which has exhibited reflectivity thresholds typical of a severe storm in a near-advisory-criteria heat type of environment (50dBZ to 50kft, for example). Over the next few hours, this feed of theta-e will gradually shift southward, and it appears likely that the continued propagation of this feature (and possible upscale growth into an MCS) will eventually track the feature into central Ohio. At the very least, it seems that convection will get into the northeastern fringes of the ILN CWA (near and northeast of Columbus). The challenging part of the forecast is looking at the potential for further propagation to the south and west, which has been suggested by several models, but very inconsistently in terms of severity and westward extent. Further eroding forecast confidence is the fact that recent HRRR runs have not had a monopoly on either consistent signals for how long the storms will propagate, or even where the current storms are located. The 00Z run seems to have initialized poorly, with real-life storms further west than the model has depicted. The broader model signals would suggest that the storms will hold together as they continue to propagate, but where and when that propagation occurs is something probably better answered by mesoscale analysis. Right now, the location of the instability gradient and the overall wind flow would suggest the ILN CWA will not be unscathed by this activity. Thus, there is medium confidence that central Ohio will be impacted by these storms, and then low confidence in further southward and westward propagation from there. Yes, it would be unusual for storms to move from northeast to southwest, but the vector of the flow of instability into the storms would suggest it is possible. Wherever these storms end up, there is plenty of heat and humidity in the atmosphere to work with -- resulting in threats of damaging wind, large hail, and heavy rainfall / flash flooding. HWO has been updated to reflect higher confidence in this scenario for a handful of central Ohio ILN counties. PoPs have also been increased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 These storms now (as mentioned) have brought about flash flooding for the Cleveland metro. It seems like they are trying to develop rotation but I don't think much will come of it. The newest HRRR runs now show little development for Detroit/Toledo. That's kind of a huge change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I stepped outside for a minute. I can see a lot of distant lightning flashes that are in a hazy mass of cloud. I can also see a couple of stars. observations show a severe wind gust from the -east- at Port Clinton Ohio. There is a storm developing rotation near there. rotation near Sandusky (there's a lot of lightning bolts shown on Radarscope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
