Hoosier Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Furnace kick on? With the summer we've had, would rather not run anything unless it gets unbearably hot/cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Got down to 47 here this morning. 45 at DVN. Temps are only in the mid 50s ATM in western Iowa underneath the stratiform rain. Probably feels like Actober out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just a top shelf day with lots of sun. Today is the first time there has been a double digit negative daily departure at LAF since June 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wow, 50s during the day in Iowa on August 18th! ~Impressive. Through the 18th here, the month is now -1.19°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the under on the point and click min temp of 55º. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That is an incredible shot, where was this taken, do you know? Mid-Lake. Activity was just to the south/east of the southern buoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Mid-Lake. Activity was just to the south/east of the southern buoy. Likely a shore parallel band then, where the flow from the east and west is converging, generating a vorticity sheet which subsequently becomes unstable and breaks into multiple vortices. Undoubtedly the most spectacular water spout image I've seen, I can see this going viral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that pencil thin one just right of center...the funnel appears to be well above ground yet there appears to be a debris cloud (in this case water) underneath.

All but the leftmost spout have a debris swirl at the surface, seems to be more the rule than the exception that if you see a condensation funnel the circulation extends to the surface.

Geos Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wow, what a waterspout picture! I see 5 surface touchdowns with an additional funnel to the left side. Kinda cloudy out tonight. At 58°. Below normal temperatures bringing back Lake MI water temps back to somewhat normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 August average temperatures/departures so far in Indiana, through the 18th. All values from the NWS. North Webster IWX: 69.5º -2.5º South Bend: 69.6º -2.3º Muncie: 71.0º -2.0º Fort Wayne: 70.3º -1.7º Goshen: 68.9º -1.6º Lafayette: 72.3º -1.6º Evansville: 76.9º -0.4º Bloomington: 73.3º -0.3º Indianapolis Eagle Creek: 74.1º -0.1º Indianapolis: 75.8º +0.8º Shelbyville: 74.4º +1.6º Terre Haute: 75.4º +2.0º The departures for Shelbyville and Terre Haute look a little funky IMO when looking at their average temps compared to everyone else. Alas, that's what IND has for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 -0.8 in Lansing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 -2.8F in La Crosse... Been loving this ... I could handle wx like this for the next 2 months...maybe a little cooler... showers maybe today and then back to the 80Fs for next week. Should still be able to squeak by without AC.

wisconsinwx Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 So hard to get negative departures here this month due to the urban heat island and moderating lake influence, with lows dipping down only into the mid to upper 50s even on the better radiational heating nights. We're on the brink of a negative departure though (+0.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 So hard to get negative departures here this month due to the urban heat island and moderating lake influence, with lows dipping down only into the mid to upper 50s even on the better radiational heating nights. We're on the brink of a negative departure though (+0.1). MKE has to be one of the only locations in the area with a positive departure. Madison is at -0.6 for the month, Chicago -0.5 and Rockford is at -1.9 Anyway today will be another comfortable day, with some shower/thunderstorms later this afternoon. Maybe even some more waterspouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Clouds really building in as it gets closer to noon. Looks like rain... Sitting at 72° - low 57° this morning. Today looks to be the 11th day below normal this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
