Chicago WX Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 56º here this morning. Very nice. Really have had good run of cooler morning temps lately, outside a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 from Gino DOWNSTREAM AMPLIFICATION OF AN UPPER RIDGE WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SUMMER 2011'S LAST GASP OF HEAT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. GFS/ECMWF BOTH PROG H8 TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW/MID 20S CELSIUS...WHICH IS NEARING 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. RECENT WORK FROM OUR SUMMER INTERN JEFF KILBURG FROM NIU (COMING SOON TO OUR WEBPAGE) REVEALS THAT THE UPPER 80TH PERCENTILE FOR HIGH TEMPS FOR LATE AUG/EARLY SEPT IS AROUND 90F...WITH 95F BEING THE 95TH PERCENTILE FOR CHICAGO. WILL OPT TO BE SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE WITH TEMPS NOW FOR THURS/FRIDAY AND JUST RUN WITH LOWER 90S...BUT WITH SUMMER BLOWING ITS LAST DYING BREATHES IN THE FORM OF GUSTY/STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO MIX OUT WE COULD SEE HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S OR EVEN UPPER 90S IN SPOTS. RECORD HIGHS ARE OVER 100F AND AT THIS POINT THEY LOOK SAFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 2 days left in meteorological summer, and LAF is sitting at 75.9º through yesterday. Normal JJA average temp (1981-10) is 73.1º. IND is sitting at 77.6º through yesterday, which if met summer ended today would be good for the 5th hottest on record...somewhat surprising but I guess it shouldn't be, one spot behind last summer. 1) 78.6º - 1874 2) 78.5º - 1936 3) 78.2º - 1934 4) 78.1º - 2010 5) 77.3º - 1983 5) 77.3º - 1872 7) 77.2º - 1873 8) 77.0º - 1901 9) 76.8º - 1921 10) 76.6º - 1933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 pretty good area of rain crossing the river into IL right now but will move into a more stable and dry environment later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Kinda feels like Fall out there with a steady rain falling and temps near 70. Some of the leaves are showing signs of changing already on certain trees. I have a feeling the outside environment will have a slightly different feel to it on Thursday when we make a run at 100 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Rain: please don't bust! Edit: It looks like it will...again! A dry pocket moving towards the area, while currently not a drop of rain has fallen. It's too much to even ask for a quarter or half inch of rain these days.

cyclone77 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The steady light rain has slowly added up to 0.15" here so far. Looks like it's about over though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Early this afternoon a decaying MCS was struggling to move into CR and I thought I might only get a tenth of an inch of rain or two. However, a bunch of moderate to heavy rain then filled in behind the decaying batch and I got a 1.38" soaking. It's our best rain in several weeks and it was much needed.

cyclone77 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 looks like that "heavier" rain will be here in awhile. A few heavier showers back-built on the back edge of the rain shield and gave us some bonus rain. Ended up with 0.34". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm placing bets if we break 1.00 this month. I'm gonna say no. Just looked at the drought monitor and looks like they extended the moderate drought area a little south. http://droughtmonito...state.htm?IN,MW I guess I can be optimistic and say at least we have a beautiful weekend coming up. Well it looks like I was wrong, but a good wrong. Looks like this morning's brief rain shower has now put us just over 1.00 so far! I believe this is the first time Indianapolis has had over 1.00 of rainfall in about 2 months (June saw over 5 I think). It's pretty exciting, don't judge. Looking forward to the drought monitor here. Should come out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 0.13" at IND, which puts them at 1.11" for August: http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KIND.html Enough to take them out of the top 10 for driest Augusts on record. 1) 0.37" - 2010 2) 0.42" - 1897 3) 0.46" - 1884 4) 0.54" - 1889 5) 0.61" - 1893 6) 0.68" - 1964 7) 0.86" - 1987 8) 0.97" - 1881 9) 1.00" - 1982 10) 1.04" - 1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 August finishes up much like July in the temp dept. Warm. 4F above nornal. 3.64" of rain for August, which was nearly double what we saw in July. Good riddance summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hit 88 here today. The NAM had been forecasting low 90s here for the last few days for today, so it stands to reason it will be a bit too warm for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yep, thanks to an average temp of 75*F today, Detroit has its 4th hottest summer on record, tied with 2010. Amazing, We went from a 4th hottest summer to a 5th snowiest winter to another 4th hottest summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The same can be said for ORD... High of 86, while raw NAM output had 91. Weak gradient today. Better southwest flow tomorrow, ample sun and upstream obs today would still have me leaning toward the raw output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
