I remember the one in 2003 I think it was. Was even able to see it in LAF.

Another 1859 type event would be cool to see.  Not good for electronics though.

That one was awesome.  It was right overhead.  Never seen it pulse the way it was as well.  Looked like it was alive.

[hawkeye_wx]

We got a nice surprise this evening.  An MCV tracking across the state lit up with storms and dumped some good rain across a solid area.  I picked up a nice 0.64".  Iowa City picked up 1-2".

Not to be too dramatic, but it felt like a bomb went off. I was probably 20' away standing at a window watching the storm and it knocked me back a few steps.  Somewhere in my mind for a hair of second, I did think a bomb blew up. My poor cat farted (never heard a cat fart before)and pissed herself, and has been hiding since.  I don't know if she's scared or embarrassed, so I'll let her be.

Even tho it didn't hit my house, several led bulbs that were on actually started flickering and smoking.  Replaced the bulbs and the lights seem fine.

Haha, that isn't dramatic, that is probably what would have happened to me. Poor cat though, must have been rough for her.

Wow.  You gotta be killing me in the rainfall department since early June.  How much have you had since June 1st?  3.99" here (2.50 June/ 1.49 July).

[Spartman]

Temps overachieved a bit, topping out at 89. Highest temperature of this month and have a feeling it's going to be the highest I'll get for this July unless temps at least overachieve enough over the next few days.

ILN has 90+ in the forecast for Dayton for the next 4 days, so temps really won't have to overachieve.

6.77" here (3.47 June/ 3.30 July), so yeah, I've been much more fortunate than you.  I'm glad we got the rain last evening because models are keeping much of the rain north the rest of the week.  Des Moines and Ottumwa may not get a drop, and they really need it.

Unless we're thinking of temps overachieving what TWC is showing. TWC's already cut back on temps a bit overnight for today and at least tomorrow. 

Not to mention about likely keeping 89 yesterday as the highest temperature of this month thanks to some MCS's and possible interfering cloud cover at times over the next few days.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
644 AM EDT Wed Jul 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid conditions will lead to the chance for thunderstorms
at times through the rest of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Mostly clear skies are in place across the region this morning
and with light surface winds, we should see some areas of fog
persist through daybreak, especially in the southern river
valleys. Otherwise, mid level ridging will nose into our area
from the southwest through this afternoon. Low level thermal
fields are fairly similar to what we saw on Tuesday so expect
highs today once again in the upper 80s to lower 90s. This will
combine with dewpoints of around 70 degrees to produce heat
indicies in the middle 90s this afternoon.

Forecast soundings off both the NAM and GFS are showing some
warming in the lower levels and this may serve as a weak cap
through much of the day. That being said, it will still be
tough to rule out an isolated pop up shower or thunderstorm
anywhere across our area this afternoon. It does look like
there may be a slightly better chance across our northwest where
some weak energy aloft will work down toward our area this
afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Any lingering shower or thunderstorm activity should again
taper off this evening, leaving mostly clear skies overnight. An
overnight MCS will likely drop down across the upper
Mississippi Valley and toward our area through the early morning
hours. The models are in general agreement dissipating the pcpn
associated with this before it reaches our area. However it
will create some uncertainty for the forecast through the
remainder of the day as there could be some lingering cloud
cover and/or some sort of outflow boundary from it that makes it
onto our area. For now though, the models are still suggesting
a bit of a bump up in low level thermal fields through the day
compared to Wednesday. Because of the uncertainty though, for
now will just range highs from near 90 in the northeast to the
lower 90s across the southwest. This will again combine with
dewpoints in the lower 70s to produce heat indices in the upper
90s to around 100 degrees through the afternoon hours. This
will also lead to good instability through the afternoon hours
with the possibility of some thunderstorms to our north feeding
south into the instability late in the day across our north.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Thursday night mid level ridging will be centered over the central
United States with an upper level low over the Hudson Bay. The same
cold front which models have so struggled to get the placement with
is now forecasted to stall out around the Michigan/ Ohio border
before pulling east. Thursday night the boundary is forecast to be
just south of the border with convection likely firing along the
front. There will be many factors in play here though as left over
convection west of region Thursday morning will likely leave a
leftover boundary near the region Thursday night. Predicting the
exact mesoscale layout this far in advance is very difficult and
therefore have just nudged PoPs up at this time. It also should be
noted that at 500 mb a potent short wave will rotating around the
top of the ridge with SFC to 6 km shear values near 40 kts in
central Ohio. Even though the best instability remains south of the
shear there is enough overlap to where some of the storms could
become strong to severe. Given this, SPC has placed the northern
counties of our forecast area in a slight risk for Day 2.

During the day Friday mid level ridging begins to flatten a bit as
the quasi-stationary low that was over North Carolina begins to
retrograde undercutting the ridge. Again, models have continued to
struggle here with how this feature ejects. Friday afternoon
forecast soundings again completely destabilize with ML CAPE values
mostly above 2000 J/kg. Heat indicies Thursday through Saturday will
also be a concern as high temperatures will regularly be around 90 to
lower 90s with dewpoints in the lower 70s. The main question mark
with heat index values will be whether or not convection gets going
and holds down high temperatures at all. Have gone ahead and edged
down high temperatures ever so slightly Friday afternoon due to the
threat of convection.

Saturday the mid level ridge that was over the central United States
this week will start to collapse as the upper level low continues to
pull west/ retrograde. PWATs do come down a little Saturday (around
1.5") but have continued to advertise slightly higher PoPs Saturday
compared to Friday given the weakening mid level ridge.

During the day Sunday an upper level low will dive southeast towards
the Great Lakes with ILN moving into a RRQ. By Monday morning a
surface cold front will begin to work southeast and approach the
Ohio/ Indiana border. Ahead of the front the RRQ from the upper
level jet streak, increased moisture, and ample instability means
PoPs will likely need to continue to be nudged upwards as timing of
the short wave gets nailed down. The ECMWF remains quicker than the
GFS and pushes the front through the area Monday morning while the
GFS pushes the front through the area Monday evening. Behind the
cold front, surface high pressure will build into the region
allowing for slightly below normal temperatures and more pleasant
feeling air Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Areas of MVFR and locally IFR fog have developed across the
area this morning. This fog should quickly dissipate by mid
morning, leaving partly cloudy skies across the region. An area
of showers and thunderstorms over eastern Illinois is
associated with a mid level short wave that is forecast to push
southeast and weaken through early this afternoon, with the
pcpn associated with it remaining to our southwest.

Otherwise, as we destabilize through this afternoon, a few pop
up showers or thunderstorms can not be ruled out but the chance
appears low enough to leave a mention out of the TAFs. Any
activity should quickly taper off this evening, leaving mainly
clear skies for the overnight period. This will likely lead to
areas of mainly MVFR fog again later tonight.

OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms are possible Friday through Sunday.

&&

Topped out at 88.

[cyclone77]

Picked up 0.01" from a shower that just passed through.  Hit 91 earlier today.  Dew has dropped back into the upper 60s from the outflow.  

[cyclone77]

0.13" this morning.  0.15" 2-day total.  About 5 miles east of here they probably had 1-2" with the early morning storms.

Local station calling for heat index temps pushing 110 today.  Wouldn't rule it out with the boundaries leftover around the area.

[Spartman]

Currently at 76 in debris clouds. TWC's done a good job on yesterday and has already done away on the 90s, not just for this week but the remainder of this month. NWS already reduced today's and tomorrow's highs to the upper 80s and will likely do the same for Saturday, as well. Next month or two, please.

[Hoosier]

[michsnowfreak]

DTW hit 91 yesterday, first 90 since June 12. It's been a very weak summer for heat but still has been warm most of the time. The humidity is ridiculous. It gives a sweet smell in the morning (pine trees and flowers) but it gets old quick!

The average number of 90 days in July is 5. Since 1871 there have been 14 julys with no 90s (most recently 2009, as well as 2008). The most was July 1955 when 17 days hit 90+.

It's been more than very weak. It's definitely a crappy one, if you ask me. Hope we're better off next Summer. Given that TWC has now reduced the high for Saturday to the mid-80s, punting until at least August for DAY's next (2nd) 90 is a lock. Last year was a mild winter followed by a hot decent Summer. This year, we're paying for the double-dip mild winter with a cooler and active Summer. So many underperforming temperatures this "summer".

This "Summer" is on life support. The only saving grace for the rest of this "Summer" is if any more 90s Dayton would see would be backloaded sometime in August and/or September. 

Currently at 77 and still under overcast skies, despite the deck from the MCS slowing decreasing and pushing east.

Spartman isn't happy if it's not 105 degrees every day in July, don't mind him.

He probably wears a jacket when it's 85 degrees.

This "Summer" is on life support. The only saving grace for the rest of this "Summer" is if any more 90s Dayton would see would be backloaded sometime in August and/or September. 

Currently at 77 and still under overcast skies, despite the deck from the MCS slowing decreasing and pushing east. 

yeah it might snow tonight in Dayton, get ready.

Even as the heat monger that I am, this temperature and humidex/HI regime is fine by me despite not getting anywhere near the levels down in the midwest.
