July 12th and Beyond Heatwave

Recommended Posts

I am writing from the Cincinnati area.  The humidity of last week has diminished quite a bit, but I glanced at the radar and saw convective storms developing and sweeping westwards from West Virginia into the Moorehead, Kentucky area.  The high pressure to the north must be tremendous to be getting moisture to move westward down there.  It's interesting to watch and caught my eye.  Here in the Ohio Valley, it looks clear though the entire week.

Temps peaked at 94/69/99. Shoreline temps running 85-90. Co-op had 83 yesterday. Offshore bouy for TH has an air temp of 56, so pretty chilly out there on the big pond. Point has 100 for tomorrow due to the winds switching to the W creating a little down slope enhancement. In house temp started at 79 and now to 83. Started at 75 yesterday, and ended with 82. Will open windows again tonight. Actually not horrible with the fans. I'm doing good.

Will have to keep a close eye on the path of this wildfire smoke. RAP suggesting some surface smoke on Wednesday, densest near the fires, but extending across the Great Lakes.

Looks like a smokemaggeddon scenario on Wednesday if the HRRR is right?

That might also explain why the models have backed off on what was nascent potential for cap busters along the front Wednesday...

Wouldn’t surprise me if ORD or somewhere nearby briefly touches 100 today or tomorrow early afternoon. 
 
Models showing some nice dew point mixing during peak heating time today and tomorrow.

100 isn’t happening today.

Many models are over-mixing once again, just as they did with the last heat wave prior to the 4th. However, this time it’s worse.

Reached 98 here.  Dews fell from the mid 70's to the upper 50's during the hottest part of the day, so it wasn't that bad.  Highest reading in the UP was 102 @ Baraga Plains.  They're usually one of the top 5 cold spots too. 
One more day in the mid 90's, then back to more respectable summer weather.

Not sure of its legitimacy, but I saw 105F in Big Bay. The next highest yoop numbers were a few 102s as you mentioned.

Temps are peaking now. 92/74/102. Highest dew of the stretch, and I can tell. Smoke, and mid to upper 80's tomorrow will feel reasonable with 80-85 the rest of the week. Lake influence will be a little stronger with the chance of stms for the end of the week.

Impressive heat. Highest in the month of July since 2012 at many sites, including Milwaukee and Flint. We will see if O'Hare can tick up to 97F and that would also be the case there. We have seen a couple of warmer episodes in August (perhaps June?), but this will be the hottest July temperatures in 14 years at a number of sites.

They are adding smoke to the forecast here as well. Said it might impact highs. We’ve had 4 consecutive 90+ highs and the record is 9.
