wisconsinwx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 gary lulz. I was thinking of cities near Lake Michigan pretty close to ChiWx, and Gary was the one that came to mind. I forgot if Elkhart was right along L Michigan, but I think it is, so there's another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm moving from LAF just for negligibly better/cooler summer weather...it surely wouldn't be to another armpit in Indiana, no offense to Indiana, but.. Now if winter is factored in, I'd definitely GTFO of LAF and try to position myself in a prime spot for FES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was thinking of cities near Lake Michigan pretty close to ChiWx, and Gary was the one that came to mind. I forgot if Elkhart was right along L Michigan, but I think it is, so there's another option. Elkhart is actually fairly far from the lake. If you're looking for nice variety in Indiana, a good place would be east of Gary in Porter or LaPorte counties...that area averages like 50-60" of snow and can get clobbered with those nice north fetch LES events...plus severe prospects are still decent and you can watch storms roll in from the lake.

Chicago WX Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 lol Gary. Anyway, 0.76" of rainfall at LAF through 7:00 this morning. We'll take it. Areas to the north/northeast/east of here got smoked with heavy rain it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Surprisingly hit 93 here yesterday. Didn't think it would get that hot. Felt pretty steamy out there with the dews in the low 70s. Picked up 1.03" of rain just after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 1.22" You should move to the south side of town. 1.8" at ARB. Up to over 3" for the month - already the wettest June since 2010. Wet as 2011 was, June was the dry month that year. Wyandotte appears to have gotten the bullseye in SEMI - 2.32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 We may nor have had severe last night, but we had a hell of a soaker imby. I slept like a baby all night, didnt hear anything, but several people told me the heavy rain kept them awake. We had 2.32" imby, and the only higher amounts in SE MI were at Livonia and South Rockwood, both with 2.50". DTW had 1.73". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The last two systems have both busted for my area. I got a combined total of 0.21" of rain from them. With only 0.86" of rain this month we are at about half of normal. However, the next two days look very good for a widespread soaking for Iowa so we should get back on track.

daddylonglegs Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Nicest day so far this year..if you like warm (not hot) and low humidity... with some breeze (not hurricane)...and sunshine..with a few clouds... sign me up. Next week looks to have a nice string of perfect days with temps right around 80F... If we go through summer with very few 90F days, i'm all in.

Hitting 90F only two or three days all summer in your climate would be a minor miracle, but it's not out of the question I guess if the warm sector has a tendency to hover around the Upper Mississippi Valley and keep the storminess going on most of the warm days. Here is another animal, not out of the question to see one or two 90F days at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind increased off the lake today, so it actually sunk into the upper 60s after a high of 70°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It turned out to be a gorgeous day after the rain ended and the clouds cleared by mid-morning. A high of 79*F (overachieving a couple degrees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Touched 80F....dews in the mid/low 50Fs... I'd like a 100 days a year exactly like this. Its just so nice to get stuff done (work on the house/garden/mow/etc) and to bike/run/walk... go on the river (boat/kayak/canoe)...go camping... run around half naked...

daddylonglegs Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I hear you...its like a broken record... As long as it stops dragging down day long drizzle events and temps of 60F at noon, i'll be fine with the cooler temps. I just read out of Fairbanks, AK that they are expecting 90F next week...been 3 years since that happened. I worked with a guy years ago from Anchorage and i know back in 2000 or 01 he went home for a few weeks and it was 90F or better and everyone was burning up because AC is almost nonexistent up there.

It's currently 64/51 in Barrow. Have they ever had a dew point above 50 before?? I believe their all-time record high temp is 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this link: http://weatherspark.com/averages/32906/Barrow-Alaska-United-States Dew PointDew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Over the course of a year, the dew point typically varies from -27°F (dry) to 42°F (dry) and is rarely below -41°F (dry) or above 50°F (very comfortable). The daily average low (blue) and high (red) dew point with percentile bands (inner band from 25th to 75th percentile, outer band from 10th to 90th percentile). So it looks like any dew point over 50 is extremely rare there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong breeze out of the SE there. Bet there's a downsloping influence going on there off the Brooks Range. Haha, they've had a trace of snow 4 days this month. 7/26/12 they had a dewpoint near 55°.
