james1976 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Beautiful evening on this first day of summer! Front blew through about 5pm. Out on the deck with a cold one and about to throw a sirloin and ear of sweetcorn over the charcoals. Late supper but thats all good. 81° with 41% humidity. Light breeze from NW. Quite refreshing after the past couple days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Today was a hot one. We maxed out at 96º with a dew in the low 70s. This has been a very sunny weather pattern. We had a few clouds this morning and late this afternoon with the frontal passage, which I believe were the first clouds I've seen in days. The broken line of storms along the front popped just east and south of my area. Every single surge of heat and humidity this year has been followed by a dry cold front passage. We are always capped and the timing of the fronts has been poor. Often, the way to get heavy rain around here is to have a front stall e-w across Iowa and have disturbances ride along the front. That just hasn't happened this year and there is no sign of it on the models. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 We came close, but no cigar...ORD hit 99F around 3:00pm but MDW hit 101F! Crazy how many times that airport has hit 100F already this year (3x). UHI in full effect.

Tom Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 While I was combing through some recent data, I'm seeing a good and clear signal for a major trough over the eastern CONUS by mid July. My target dates of July 14th-20th suggest a deep trough and one that can penetrate into the deep south. This could very well have some legs for a sustained period of cooler and wetter/active wx. I need to see a few more days of data to be more certain how long this predicted troughy pattern can last. I don't see any long periods of HOT weather for most of us on here next month, except for the lone state of Texas (sadly). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 95/68 that was the 2nd hottest reading for any June 21 at Grand Rapids. Once again there was no rain fall and there was 96% of possible sunshine. At Lansing their high of 98 tied 1988 for the record for the date. The overnight low here at my house was 71 at the airport the low so far was 74. For today the average H/L is 81/60 the record high of 97 was set in 1894 and 1923 the record low of 39 was set in 1922.

Texans use it to catch up on outdoor activities or some fun. It’s worth the heat to live here. God knows some issues are challenging us but the lifestyle and attitudes of us Native-born Texans is worth the heat.

It is now becoming rather dry as so far this June has only had 0.85” of rain fall and that is well below the average of 2.85” by this date. Muskegon, Holland and Lansing have had more rain fall but they too are below average for June. And the thunderstorm drought also continues at Grand Rapids. The official H/L yesterday was 86/67 and there was no rain fall. The overnight low in MBY was 57. The official overnight low at GRR was 58. At the current time it is clear and 62 here. For today the average H/L is 81/60 the record high is 98 set in 1923 and the record low is 38 set in 1918. Last year the H/L was a cool 72/48 and there was 0.09” of rain fall.
