Yep, 7. The stretch in March 2012 had 9 consecutive records and was more impressive in other metrics, but that week in Sep 2017 was no slouch. It is the new standard for prolonged late season heat, at least for the Chicago area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Considering the time of year and how very wet it is over here, I doubt we'll see 90 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah last September we broke a record from 1895 on September 20th, when we reached 95 degrees. SPI hit 99 tied a record WTF? the forecast high was 90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Topped out at 91. 4 hours ago, Hoosier said: Wonder how many more there will be. No more in sight in the immediate future and you really start fighting climo in the back half of September and beyond. From a probabilistic standpoint, something like what happened in latter September 2017 (7 consecutive 90s... all daily records) is highly unlikely. I wouldn't be surprised if today is the last one, but I wouldn't be surprised at one or two more either. Looks like the last 90 for this year as remnants of Gordon are going to be the final nail in the coffin on this Summer. Even with the behavior and track of Gordon's remnants (including near-record rainfall in many areas on one of the upcoming days) by this weekend, looks like fifty shades of September 2011 coming up over the next week or so.

Also that East-Central IL area on south to the Ohio River area has been drier than surrounding areas the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Main K-W weather station got to 32.3ºC today which broke the old record by 0.1ºC! You can really feel the heat built up this evening, torrid. All that potential energy the atmosphere had was wasted yesterday evening with just some rain showers and nothing else as the cold front came through. I expected no less. I'm sitting at a staggeringly low 3 thunderstorms total so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I would suppose this is an actual picture of a storm over Chicago on Monday. If so, this is amazing. It looks almost like some of those hoax pictures where somebody took an image of a supercell wall cloud on the Plains and superimposed it over a different picture of a beach in Florida and said it was Hurricane Katrina, or something like that.

michsnowfreak Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 It's been cloudy, cool and breezy all weekend. Yesterday was a hoodie day and I loved it. Have a huge case of fall fever.

Hoosier Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Looks like a fairly prolonged period of dry wx on the way for much of the Midwest, which will be welcomed in areas that have had excessive rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Due to the strong onshore flow, Lake Michigan's water temps took a dive along its southern shores, probably making for some chilly lake breezes this week. Michigan City: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Broke a record low maximum temperature yesterday at 61 thanks to the crappy weekend by Gordon. 970 SXUS71 KILN 100553 RERDAY RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 153 AM EDT MON SEP 10 2018 ...RECORD DAILY LOW MAXIMUM SET AT DAYTON OH... A RECORD DAILY LOW MAXIMUM OF 61 DEGREES WAS SET AT DAYTON OH (KDAY) ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 9. THIS BREAKS THE OLD DAILY RECORD LOW MAXIMUM OF 62 DEGREES SET IN 1924. The record low maximum temperature for today is 60 in 1924, so we may be close again. Gordon's remnants, including record low maximum temperatures, are reminiscent of the remnants of Lee in 2011 that evolved into a cutoff low and stalled for a good portion of a week. Welcome to September 2011 all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 12z Euro actually manages to bring the Florence remnant low and rain into IN/OH/MI, even with a NC landfall. It's a messy setup around/after landfall though with weakening steering so less than zero confidence if that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to September 2011 all over again. Just as expected today, close to even tying a record. Topped out at 62. NWS just stuck a fork on any sunshine again for tomorrow since Gordon has seemed to have screwed up our opportunity for any enjoyable conditions, and I can feel it happen for Wednesday as well.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 The latest NWS forecast for Cedar Rapids says "Sunny" every single day for the next week. It has to be pretty rare to not even have a single "Partly sunny" in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 12z GFS gets Flo into IN/OH as well. It would be pretty rare to get an east coast landfalling system to back so far west (especially one north of Florida), but this storm has already fought climo and is winning so why not again. Sandy's effects came pretty far west due to its massive size but the surface low actually never got west of Lake Erie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
