Geos Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Quite a cool day, especially after the storms earlier. Only 64° right now. High 73° and 0.10" of rain. Picture of the storms over the lake this morning. Not the best given it was through the windshield and at rush hour! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Another perfect day... Can't complain about this wx. Gone through 3 hard drives in 2 years on this Dell.. Warranty still covering it (along with new power supply/new keyboard), but man it sucks to lose stuff...

daddylonglegs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Riddle me this... La Crosse is -2.9F for the month...Madison (100 odd miles away as the crow flies) is -.9F... IS Lake Michigan the cause of that, just the placement of the cold air or some other factor (Lake Monona/Mendota)??? Turtle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Just got a brief heavy shower. We've had more rain from these last couple days of unexpected heavy downpours than we got the entire month of June basically when we had dry cold fronts galore. Weird how things work out that way. 5 soakings since yesterday...one of today's was a good half hr of borderline.moderate rain...should be right around 1.5" for the 2 day total while the airport a few miles east only reporting .50" Wuakegan got hosed also - .10" only while just west of 94 cleaned up. Hard to believe less than a month ago it was a burnt out wasteland and now the lawns are looking about as good as can be. Now the lakes and rivers are going to take a lot more rain to get them to normal levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS Lake Michigan the cause of that, just the placement of the cold air or some other factor (Lake Monona/Mendota)??? Turtle? Definitely not Lake Michigan, because I'm at -1.58° now for the month. A localized influence by Lake Mendota/Monona sound reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS Lake Michigan the cause of that, just the placement of the cold air or some other factor (Lake Monona/Mendota)??? Turtle? Definitely not Lake Michigan since it's downstream, nor Lake Mendota since it's too small and not exactly next to the airport. It's just been a little colder in La Crosse, whether that's due to being closer to the cold air source, more cloudiness/rain in the day, or clearer nights could be determined with careful analysis.

Kinda blown away by DTX temp departure.. Still + 0.1 as of yesterday. With the upcoming return to Summer warmth the odds of seeing a negative departure look slim as we progress forward.

daddylonglegs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I can't afford a Mac... Weird its been so cold here...can't be clouds...been very sunny the whole month...must be cold overnight temps or just closer to the cold air source... My guess is Saukville is +5F for the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 The last 12 days at LAF: 0, -6, -7, -8, -4, -3, -2, -5, -8, -10, -7, -9 11 consecutive days with a negative departure. For real, have to go back to February 7-17, 2010 the last time that has happened at LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since the last 90 here. Summer effectively shut off like a switch. Looks like DVN was correct a few weeks back. Some warmer days ahead, but the intense heat looks over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Neat view of the pattern change, a crisp 49 °F outside Usually never up for the low temps but I went to sleep at 8 pm, really early run it is. Nothing beats 40s in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 For august? I'm sitting at -1.3 out this way. Yes, for August. To be technical. Yesterday's high of 78 @ DTW brought the DPTR to -0.2. Given the progged temps for the rest of the week that number will move into positive territory in a few days and continue to move higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The cooler weather and wind this month really shows how quickly the water temps on the Great Lakes can change. After being in the low to mid 70s in July, Lake Huron is now down to the mid to upper 60s. Southern Lake Michigan was near 80F in July but down to the low 70s now. I don't know what "normal" is for late August but I would think we are pretty close right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting occasional thunder from that cell you're getting hit with. It's getting gradually darker to the north, but overhead the sun is still out in full force. It looks like a line may be developing to the WSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
