Hoosier Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 So this is cool. You can plot the SPC outlooks over a period of time by WFO/State/County. It gives the highest risk level for each day. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?q=201 A lot of neat features besides the outlooks to play with in the dropdown box, too. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Anyone else think 2003 is a good analog so far for this warm season? That seems to be the epitome of a slow start to summer around here among the last 20 years anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it wouldn’t surprise me to see the wet anomalies expand north toward your area from what looks to be the southern and central Plains/Mississippi Valley for the first half of June anyways.

That year we actually had some decent tornado events (not including Iowa troll days) in this part of the country by the end of May. Particularly the 10th and 30th.

Stebo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 4 hours ago, NegativeEPO said: I'm starting to think this garbage, relentless, cold and wet pattern is related to the solar minimum. We're entering a deep solar minimum. Going to have to wait a few years at very least for this pattern to break. Might not see a warm year again until maybe the mid 2020s.

Hoosier Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just gotta laugh how a -NAO was so hard to come by last winter, but has been so prevalent in the past couple months. I think the correlation with temps does become less as you get into summer, meaning that a -NAO is not as likely to result in below average temps (for example, 2012 was a -NAO summer). This is where looking at actual maps/patterns helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Was looking up some 100 degree stats for Chicago. It has been about 7 years since ORD hit 100. If 2019 fails to produce a 100 degree day, it would be the longest stretch without one since the 1960s (1961-1970 had none). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that the GFS has had some problems in the summertime with dew points too high (75-80 degrees) in generally moist time periods in the Midwest. I wonder if this upgrade may improve that somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Interesting that ORD has only had 4 days with high temps of 82+ so far in 2019, with zero days of 84+. Not sure what the average # of 82+ days is for ORD by June 13th in any given year, but it has to be significantly higher that what we've seen in 2019. Normal high this time of year is 80, but it ramps up quickly to 85 by the end of June. Strangely enough - despite all of the whining about how chilly it has been this Spring, the overall mean temp for the period April 1st - June 13th at ORD has been essentially normal. Just not a lot of excessively cool or warm days. To me, this apparent contrast illustrates that it's still fairly early in the warm season for NE IL, given the lake influence. I generally consider "consistent summer" at ORD to be June 10th - Sep 10th, as opposed to May 15th - Sep 10th in other areas of IL away from the lake. No complaints from me; even with the excessive rainfall, temps have been fairly pleasant in May/June so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
