Chicago received no measurable precipitation between June 1-7 (yeah, technically it's still the 7th for a little while, but it ain't gonna rain).

It is only the 9th time that Chicago has not received at least 0.01" in the first 7 days of June, which makes it close to a 1 in 17 year occurrence on average over the period of record, though it has started happening more often in the past several decades.  The other 8 years without measurable precip in the first week of June are 1873, 1922, 1929, 1976, 1988, 1994, 2006, 2017.

Sometimes there is some luck involved -- for example, the unofficial site of Midway Airport had 0.01" between June 1-7.  So if we broaden it out to less than 0.10" in the first 7 days of June, that has happened 26 times.

A local met said this is the first year since 1976 in which Cedar Rapids recorded no rainfall during the first week of June.

10:40pm and still 88 out. This heat is getting insane just like my electric bill will soon be.

Just looked at the data up there. We’ll see how the rest of June plays out but there’s at least solid potential for a truly alarming record to be set at MSP re: mean temperature for the month of June.

0.11" total here.  I heard parts of Allegan County got over 2".

An extremely localized cloud burst did most of it here.  There is one swath from Allegan up through downtown and a few cloudburst spots south and east.  One popped up near east grand rapids and dumped for 5 minutes or so adding a half inch almost instantly.  The more general light rain band was only 0.1 to 0.2.

it has been nice but the zzzzs are getting hard to take

 

naso hyped for our new san diego climo

Here it's Tampa Bay climo.  Waiting for something to pop up.  Whatever showers form will probably rain themselves out in the same location they formed.  Virtually zero wind field today.  Good setup for more 2.5" bullseyes with 0.05" 5 miles away... just like yesterday.  There's enough instability for lightning if something can get going enough.  Didn't hear anything yesterday as it was all pretty shallow showers.

The opening week of June was the 5th warmest on record for Chicago, and the warmest since 1971.

Warmest on record at MSP by 2.4 degrees

2nd warmest at Milwaukee and Green Bay, WI (1925)

5th warmest at Madison, WI (warmest since 1963)

Warmest at La Crosse, WI by nearly 2 degrees

Warmest at Duluth, MN by 2.7 degrees

All of these periods of record date back to the 1800s. The last two entries on this list I would imagine are significantly less prone to UHI than the others, and they completely rewrote the record books by a huge margin. It’s not all UHI, and I would argue it’s not even primarily UHI.

Same down here. Stifling humidity. Picked 0.59" yesterday evening in less than an hour, anther 0.32" early this morning, had some more rain this afternoon, but haven't checked the gauge, and another line along I 70 that might get to us before dark. But no lightning. As Joel said the other day, the sub has the haves and have-nots. I am a have and my garden appreciates it.

I looked at Duluth, and LaCrosse. They have NWS records and Arpt records that are in close proximity to each other. Here's what the difference is in the first 7 days avg.

Duluth Arpt: 71.0  Duluth NWS: 68.7

LaCrosse Arpt: 78.6  Lacrosse WFO: 73.5

I also looked at Mpls Arpt, and Chanhassen WFO. They are further apart, and the NWS office is in the burbs W of the Arpt.

Mpls Arpt: 80.3  Chanhassen WFO: 76.5

 

Edit: Looked at Madison Arpt, and UW of Madison. They are a little further apart, as well.

Madison Arpt: 74.4  UW of Madison: 71.8

Airports seem to be running a little hotter than other sites.

May need a 1 county heat headline for the LAF area at some point this summer.  :P

That’s quite interesting. None of those are particularly large airports, with the exception of MSP. As UHI effects go, I don’t know much about La Crosse or Duluth, but I know UW-Madison is basically downtown while the airport is way out on the east side, so it’s interesting that the airport would run so much warmer, especially being the small regional airport that it is. With that being said, it does appear that records at La Crosse airport date back to 1938, so I would say it’s valid to compare any data from then to now. But I’m wondering if it’s maybe more of a geographical thing than a UHI thing, at least in that case.

UW would still most definitely have the cooling influence of Mendota and to a lesser degree Monona this early in the season. 

ARX is also on the higher terrain above the Mississippi, which is why LSE in the valley is warmer. 
 

Can’t really explain Duluth since it’s practically on airport property. NWS is surrounded by trees though.
