Late June-Early July Heat Wave

90+ at ORD will likely be delayed and a closer call than it should have otherwise been for today. Cloud deck associated with an MCV continues to sit in place and regenerate across portions of the metro, slowing the temp rise this morning.

 

Dews in the low to mid 70's will still make it feel icky.

Buf hit 90 for its 6th day straight. Tomorrow and Friday are likely the warmest days of the streak, so a virtual lock to break the longest 90+ day streak in Bufs history! It's extremely difficult to hit 90 here with the lake breeze, this heat wave is unprecedented here. 

Now just gotta figure out some way for BUF to hit 100 this summer.  The most impossible of tasks.

Same here in Toronto expect for Monday where we only maxed out at 88.3F. Otherwise, it's our 7th straight day ~90F. At this rate, July 2020 could be the hottest July ever recorded in Toronto and I reckon it's the same for Buf.

Without today we are at 79.1 and +8.6 for the month. Likely to rise the next 2 days.

Today was the 12th consecutive day with a high of 85+ at ORD. 

Some of these non-round number streaks can start to get silly, but the 85+ one has some significance because it's basically the cutoff of what the highest average high temp is in Chicago.

Other top 85+ degree streaks below.  All of them occurred after the official observation site moved inland (first to Midway and then O'Hare).

This year's streak should end up high on the list.

Yeah, that May 1977 warm spell was impressive. 1976-77 was an interesting time. Besides being in the early stages of disco fever :gun_bandana:, the winter was extremely cold here, followed by a record warm spring...and a snowstorm in New England on May 9-10.

Lake enhanced OFB quickly moving south along the WI shore, and just about at the IL/WI border.

That might be enough to prevent 90+ today, as it’ll easily be through ORD before noon. 83 at ORD as of now, so the race is on.


.

Or not...

In 2020 fashion, the lake enhanced OFB came to a halt right along the border. A lake breeze has developed in NE IL, but is in no rush to move inland.

90+ is easily in the bag, and will probably make a run towards 93/94 or so.

91 at ORD.  Put it on the board.

As of yesterday, YYZ is at 80.2F for the month. This type of extreme long-lasting heat is unheard of at our latitudes (Buf and Tor). If I'm not mistaken, I believe 1921 is also the hottest July ever recorded in Toronto. We averaged 78F in July 1921. Factor in today and tomorrow and we'll likely be running more than 3-5 degrees above the previous records lol. 

Has Buf ever hit 100F?

1921 is our warmest ever.

Buffalo has not hit 100, only 99 in 1948

At one point, around midday, every Iowa station listed on Mesonet was 90+, except Cedar Rapids was only 87º.  As you say, though, CR finally did hit 90º.

It's erroneous enough that DVN or whoever should go out and take a look at that sensor.  Could be legit for a variety of reasons, but I'd hope they would check it to be sure.

MLI hit 91 today.

haha, given how close the lake breeze stayed to the coast today, I think we're seeing some of the influence of that warmer water on the southern end of LM. 1558423915_ScreenShot2020-07-09at6_18_54PM.png.5255f850b3d4b2d06bcc2b0a1ff6fed3.png
