Stebo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 This was at 13 mile and Hoover. It's even worse now. That is 12 mile and Hayes I recognize the intersection very well. When I left home it was pitch black outside and there was plenty of CG just to my north, and yet people were walking about as if nothing was happening. Sometimes all you can do is shake your head.

wisconsinwx Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The "return of the heat" certainly hasn't arrived yet. 73.8F here in the middle of the afternoon courtesy of the lake breeze. Topped out around 77. Certainly we're heading into a warmer pattern, but hardly the roaster Tropical is hyping I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 These cells produced some very vivid CG. Plenty of forks and a few anvil crawlers. Had some nickels and quarters that fell from the cell in N macomb earlier. These surface boundaries really seemed to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Anything will seem relatively tame compared to what we went through earlier this summer. That said, a prolonged stretch of average to above average...probably numerous +3 to +7 days or something like that...lowest anomalies possibly the farther northeast you go.

Geos Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would hardly call my forecast a roaster. Just typical late August weather forecast. Chilly morning and foggy, @ 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Kind of interesting post on NWS Chat out of Indy. After the record heat, they are now experiencing an anomalous string of below normal temps days (12 days and counting): "The last streak of 12 or more days of at or below normal temperatures for IND was a 12 day period of Feb. 23 through Mar. 6, 2010 (exactly 12 days). The last streak of more than 12 days of at or below normal temperatures for IND was the 14 day period of Feb. 6-19, 2010. These two together made up a period 26 out of 29 days at or below normal. Other notable recent streaks were 10 days at or below normal Mar. 24-Apr. 2, 2011, and 12 out of 13 days at or below normal Jan. 31-Feb. 11, 2011 (exception was Feb. 6)."

daddylonglegs Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Spent the afternoon in Madison... Very dry air...nice temps...too much traffic. Traveling with 3 kids in a car is no fun. I noticed on the way down some trees that are either changing color or they are dying... Noticed a lot of fried trees at the zoo down (Henry Vilas).

Most people know, especially around these parts, the world isn't going to end because of a t'storm or snowstorm (which probably correlates with the very dumbed down mainstream forecasts as well). Business must continue as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about shutting down the city because of a thunderstorm... I know what you're talking about. As I said, business must continue as usual. It was a t'storm, the folks you saw have experienced plenty of them and lived to tell about them. Today probably wasn't any different for them. Extreme weather in which the situation is truly life threatening is already exceedingly rare overall, but that's triple time for t'storms and snowstorms in our region. In fact, I would bet most folks will wonder what the heck was all the hype about with the 2-3" of rain on the far east side and NW suburbs.

I am not talking about businesses staying open or any thing like that. I am talking about people walking around outside as if nothing is wrong with a thunderstorm approaching with numerous CG. My point is about public safety and the apparent lack of lightning awareness. I have no idea what you are spouting off about businesses and extreme weather...

Geos Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Really nice afternoon, mostly sunny 77° before the lake breeze knocked 5° off that. Month to date is -1.80°. No distinguishable signs of tree stress around here. Some lower branches on my conifers died back about 5 weeks ago, but little other impacts on the trees. Edit: 71.93° for the average temperature this summer so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 am I sensing a little fear........ No, but warministas are sure becoming easier to sense this summer, and you're starting to make your position very apparent, as is SpartyOn, although both of you are respectful posters.

Geos Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 At least what Skilling is saying, a 3 day spell of 90s; for Chicago at least, then another cool down going into early next week. Mentioned if Issac moves into the Gulf later on it could pump up a hot air dome over the OV and lower Lakes if it were to make landfall on the US Gulf Coast.

michsnowfreak Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The heat island is strong in southern Oakland, I thought the entire state was negative. DTW briefly sneaked to 79F today. High imby was 76F. 11 of the past 13 days have had below-normal departures (the two other days had departues of 0F and +1F). But still, DTWs departure through the 21st is I believe just -0.4F, but as others said that will go up at the end of the week. I honestly cannot explain why almost EVERY day they are warmer than every station, including those in Wayne county. The only 2 things I can think of is thermometer calibration, which per stebo they take very good care at DTW and have backups...and the more likely theory I guess is downsloping (see YIP). I just dont understand why this is a new max-temp-phenomena not experienced until about this spring or so. UHI for low temps has been going on for years though. Down in TOL I think their station is in a rural area, as they radiate very well...their departure is over -2F (and likewise they are over 2F colder than DTW on mean temp this month). BTW picked up 0.34" of rain in those storms this afternoon. Thunder was LOUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The "torch" will probably still be too little too late to reverse the negative anomalies in most places. However, the latest EURO is really steaming. There's another "passive" cool down and then a 594dm ridge pops over the Ohio Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
