snowstormcanuck Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Way out there but the GFS has been fairly consistent the last 4-5 runs (see thundersnow's post above) showing an important tropical system impacting the OV towards the end of the month.

Hoosier Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Drought buster. I say bring it on. Besides helping with the drought it would provide some relatively infrequent tropical excitement. It's always fun to watch these systems after they move inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yeah, I can't even remember getting many remnants of tropical systems; I think Hurricane (or Tropical Storm, I can't remember which) Florence in 1998 provided us with some rain, but other than that, I don't distinctly remember any tropical systems affecting us in any way.

Chinook Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Dear weather gurus out there, When will Denver ever get a height less than 5880 meters at 500mb? Chinook Edit: As you can clearly see, my area averages 285K at 700mb.That is 12 C. Surface temperatures average high 84, low 57, that is 29C and 14C The August 16 average 500mb height is about 5875-5900 meters for my area (and should be around 5850 by August 31) I just don't like these ensemble forecasts. It's all above normal. And for the next 8 days, the GFS predicts several 14 to 16 C days, putting our highs at 2 to 4 C above normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets harder up that way. Usually anything that tries to make it recurves before reaching your latitude. Did you guys get fringed by Ike or was it a whiff to the south?

It's always fun to watch these systems after they move inland. Oh no doubt. Always exciting to see tropical remnants move through here or in the general region.

Remnants of hurricanes Ike and Gustav from 2008 for here. Though the heaviest of the rain stayed just to the west with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys get fringed by Ike or was it a whiff to the south? It was actually Frances, my mistake, and that was probably about an inch or inch and a half. I think Ike was a whiff to the south. Looking at maps of the worst tropical systems to affect each state, it looks like Wisconsin and Michigan got their biggest impact from Candy back in the 1960s.

wisconsinwx Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I looked at rainfall maps from both Ike and Gustav. For Ike, Chicago got hit with 3-5" in a pretty widespread swath, and we barely got an inch. Gustav was a general inch or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain was one thing but the wind was the really impressive aspect. Granted it transitioned into an extratropical entity in its latter stages but you're not going to see a map like this very often.

Somebody should do a thread about noteworthy tropical remnants in the Midwest. There was Erin in Oklahoma a few years ago. Closer to home, there's been Carla (1961), Gilbert (1988), Dennis (2005), Gustav and Ike just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 whats up MIAMI This has my interest for later on in the period, pattern looks really good for the remments to slide Northward into the GL/OV. I just pray that I work when that comes because that would be a fun shift at DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really like having a tropical storm pass through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
