cyclone77 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Stayed in the mid 60s today, with a solid overcast and occasional sprinkles. Pretty crazy for mid July. This weather's making me look forward to football already lol. Training camp only a few weeks away. Hope the rain takes it easy on IKK tonight.

Geos Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Manged to hit 63° during a brief break in the clouds. Now stratus and 60°. Yep feeling like football season is just around the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 72 today, which is nice but I'd enjoy it more in October. Looking like 80-87 tomorrow thru the weekend with dew points up to the mid 70s. Let's pump a little heat. Need to make sure the AC still works. Haven't even turned it on yet this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Today's 12z NAEFS probably has the least red (warmth) on the west coast that we've seen in ages. It's not just the US either, it's all the way up into Canada. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the RRR. Edit: I just realized... RRR has its own Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridiculously_Resilient_Ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 18z NAM drops 3"+ on IKK tonight. Not good. 18z RGEM still says "what heavy rain?" Going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 18z RGEM still says "what heavy rain?" Going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Looking at current radar...hug the NAM, punt the RGEM. Heavy rain gathering to the southwest of here and making a beeline. 2"+ should be a lock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 heaviest looks to say south of IKK which should stay under 1" Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Getting some sprinkles here at least. Looks like one county south of Kankakee will have a good shot at 1" or more tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Cloudy and cool, felt like Fall not July 8th. The high of 67F at DTW missed the record by 1F, the record being 66F in 1891. The old 2nd coldest was 69F in 1899. FWIW, tomorrows record is 69F set in 1953. The high at DET was only 65F. So more or less, certainly a record cold territory type of day. Not a typical sight during normal peak heating of the day on July 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Heavy rain on the doorstep. Radar really perking up to the south/southwest...and headed this way. 0z NAM continues with 1.50-2.00" for IKK. 4km NAM puts down 2.32". It gonna rain...a lot.

Geos Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Rain around Pontiac definitely making a move towards Kankakee. Now JOT is going to miss out on the heavy rain. I bet the mosquitoes are terrible down that way, Chicago Wx! Up here we got all these little ones along with gnats. Misting here at 57°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Mosquitos are terrible here. So much standing water...so much breeding ground. Raining pretty good here now. ILX radar is rather impressive with how it's lit up in the past hour. Radar estimating 1"+/hr rains just east of BMI now. Unfortunately, it's all headed towards IKK. My call of 2"+ from earlier today looks golden....unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My forecast was for a very sunny day without clouds and lo and behold, its total overcast by 5:00 pm. That's the 18th time where it was forecast to be clear/sunny but instead overcast. Looks like I wasn't the only one. Looks like we're going to be -6F or -7F on the month through the first 10 days. Perhaps this month will rival 2000 for lack of heat (at least that July had an interesting severe weather event). Thinking about 2000 alone gives me the willies, not to mention experiencing a year so far worse than that. May in terms of temperatures was closest to that year. IIRC, winter was warmer than normal, had the big storm in May (nothing like that of course this time), June was avg to below avg while the rest of the summer was among the coldest I have scanned through for my region. Most will know of 2000 having the dubious distinction of no High Risk days and to add to that, crappy hurricane season. I hoped to never see another 2000 regime.

Hoosier Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, IKK is gonna get it. Fairly sharp cutoff in this area by the looks of it. Certainly farther south in Lake county will get some heavier amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
