Intense Heat Returning Mid/Late July?


Hoosier

Recommended Posts

Ya, mines dropped to 89. Heat wave is over until further notice. The Euro has been trying to build a big ridge back out in the plains and then slowly move it east with time. Sounds like a familiar pattern. At the moment though it doesnt look like anything extreme in the next week or so at least. Hoosier may be starting another heat thread to start August though cause Im sure we will have our fair share.

Yeah, looks like another surge possible around then. I'm tired of starting heat threads...someone else can have at it.

Looks like Chicago just barely missed out on a sneaky 12:00 AM 90* reading... 89* at 11:51 and 12:51. Still could hit 90 today but it'll be close.

Not necessarily -- it could have ebbed even just a couple of tenths of a degree during that hour and hit 90. Won't know for sure until 12z. Otherwise, yes, it will be very close during the afternoon for a 90 though that depends upon how tonight's situation evolves.

Early morning highs stand at 89, at both ORD and MDW.

Still roasting at 87 coming up on midnight. Have about 10-20min left of this heat wave before the outflow boundary passes and blasts it all away lol.

The STL readings the last few evenings have been incredible. Not much nighttime relief for those guys lately.

Looks like low temp this morning was 86, which again ties the all-time record high minimum for the 2nd consecutive day. To put in perspective, average max temp this time of year is 89.

Yep my mistake I was looking at the record report issued this afternoon, but failed to pay close attention to the dates. The funny thing is that today isn't over anyway and low may occur during the evening before midnight...

Despite a very impressive 5th 100+ day at MLI yesterday, it only bumps them up to 9th all time for most 100+ days. The all-time record is an untouchable 21, which of course happened back in the miserable year that was 1936....

From DVN.

It's interesting how many more 100+ days that area saw during some of the Dust Bowl summers compared to places further east. Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have already seen a comparable number 100+ days this year. Indy is at #3 all-time with 9, and Fort Wayne tied at #2 with 6.

Latest CPC outlook shows the ridge staying west for the most part and shows an active NW flow storm track days 6-10 and 8-14.

LOT did the mention the possibility of temperatures returning to normal or even below normal.

THE OVERALL THEME IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS APPEARS TO BE A RETURN TO

NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES...WITH A SMALL OPPORTUNITY TO DIP BELOW

SEASONAL CONDS AS A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS ARE PROGGED

TO ROTATE AROUND THE VORT MAX OVER HUDSON BAY TOWARDS THE GREAT

LAKES/NORTHEAST CONUS. THE LARGEST CAVEAT...GIVEN THE EXPECTED

CONTINUATION OF THE LONGER TERM DROUGHT...IS THAT MOST LIKELY

ALLOW TEMPS TO EASILY WARM AND MAY COUNTER THE PROGGED SETUP REGIME.

THUS IT REMAINS CONCEIVABLE THAT TEMPS STILL PUSH INTO THE UPR 80S.

WITH THIS TYPE OF SETUP...TRADITIONALLY IT FAVORS A DRY OR DRYER

SCENARIO OUTSIDE OF LOWER CHC FOR PRECIP WHEN THESE WAVES PASS

THROUGH.

It would have been hell living through 1936, no AC... Holy hell.

Go a little further east (and north) and the situation is like Moline, ie heat during the dustbowl years was and still is in a league of its own. Now, granted, 100F heat is a lot more rare up here. But when you look at 90F+ days, its just sticking out like a sore thumb.

Detroit 100F+ days by decade:

1870s- 0

1880s- 1

1890s- 0

1900s- 0

1910s- 3

1920s- 0

1930s- 14

1940s- 2

1950s- 5

1960s- 0

1970s- 2

1980s- 5

1990s- 1

2000s- 0

2010s- 4

Add in those "oh-so-close" days of 99F+ days by decade

1870s- 0

1880s- 2

1890s- 0

1900s- 0

1910s- 3

1970s- 5

1980s- 7

1990s- 3

2000s- 1

2010s- 6

Lastly, for simple 90F+ days by decade since 1900 (few years in the 1800s M to me) the '30s-50s OWN

1900s- 56

1910s- 107

1920s- 100

1930s- 172

1940s- 160

1950s- 154

1960s- 111

1970s- 119

1980s- 127

1990s- 123

2000s- 102

2010s- 64 thru 2012

The 2000s in SE Michigan were just not hot... Was it 2009 where we cracked 88 degrees like 3 times and no 90's. As someone who hates heat, I actually longed for the days of heat, just to remember what it was like. This decade is starting much warmer, but we were due.
