That 90 in A2 makes it seem possible, maybe the heat island adds a few degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Looks like DTW topped out at 88. Falling short of 90. Given the trends in the overall air mass and the going forecast, 90 seems very likey tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fickle Heights Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yes...do October 1989! I know there was a discussion about it on here a while back. That may well be one of the most anomalous weather events that the area has ever seen. I agree. I can't think of anything else quite like it. The general public may have a tough time understanding dual pol. The Oct. '89 storm would be a good event to cover. It wouldn't publish until the last Sunday in Sept., correct? After last year's brutal winter and the record heat this summer, readers may find '89 interesting. I remember it well (I was 31 at the time). Yes, I won't run until September 30, so it will actually be pretty close to the anniversary. I think it will be a great topic. A lot of people don't remember it for some reason. My parents don't, lol. I'm hoping I can go through the J&C photo archive and find some good art to go with the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 88*F today. The average should move up to -0.2*F. The overnight lows are still killing a more significant recovery of the August average temp (low was 63*F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 90F again today even with a lot of clouds... Ragweed must have been THICK today...just horrible. Couldn't go outside for more then a few minutes. AC cranked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 90°/67° for today. Down to 72° at 11pm - dewpoints still low, which is nice. -1.11° for the month to date. Allergies have been really bad the last 3 days. - The first frost can't come soon enough IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Interesting to note -- yesterday marked the one year anniversary when 10.5 million, almost 1/3 of Canada's population, went under a tornado watch. An additional 5.216 million people were put under a tornado warning, thanks to blanket warnings... sometimes for 3+ hours. Only three weak tornadoes were confirmed, but it's a violent storm day in Ontario history. 80,000-90,000 lightning strikes occurred that day/night. We were put under tornado watch at 10am many hours before initiation. I think the SREF had 50% tornado probabilities over Southern Ontario. It was a wild day... just three days after the deadly Goderich F3 tornado. Everyone was on high alert and I think it was the first time I remember with a lot of tornado hype with mass media following. Summary... (a third F0 tornado was confirmed in Grey County that I never drew on the map). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 As far as Isaac is concerned, if that ridge gets as strong as the EURO suggests, we can forget any "appreciable" rains from it, as that will likely rip it to shreds even faster. Many areas will probably get some decent popcorn tropical downpours, but nothing heavy and widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is indications of a cool down around and after Labor Day. I dont think this warmth will be as dramatic as your making it sound at least not around here. Like sparty said short work week enjoy it. Mid 80's is not bad. Edit: Did not realize you had allergies issues this time of year. I have severe allergies in the Spring. No Rain just makes it worse and I work outdoors. This past May/June was the worst I have ever seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the allergies that are sure to ensue? No, people like us (DLL and myself) have to stay inside with the AC at this time of year if there is this much heat. That's why it's garbage.

Or some of the over the counter meds. I too suffer from allergies. Its part of life downwind from the great plains and boreal forests. Arizona is the cure. If ya hate heat stay in WI.

Its part of life downwind from the great plains and boreal forests. Arizona is the cure. If ya hate heat stay in WI. Don't want to get into an argument regarding allergies, but personally I've tried several OTC medications, and none have worked for very long. My allergies have actually gotten worse throughout my childhood years into adulthood, counter to what I hear many people going through where they outgrow them. Also, since dry weather and wind exacerbate allergies, I don't think Arizona would help. There are still some potential allergens there. Anyways, I figure DLL is in a similar predicament since he mentions not being able to be outside for more than a few minutes without feeling them. Thankfully, mine are not that bad but I can't imagine what it would be like if they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 My forecast doesn't look too bad starting tomorrow through Wednesday - low 80s and low 60s at night for the most part. Surprisingly the ragweed isn't bothering me today. "knock on wood". I know the situation WisconsinWx is talking about with OTC medications not working fully as you go into the future or even the full length of time stated on the bottle/package. A 24 hour med sometimes only works 15-18 hours on really bad days. - Some meds worked 5 years ago, but don't now. West coast folks don't have to deal with ragweed - it doesn't exist out there! Lake breeze today should keep it from getting too hot. Up to 81° now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 87 already here so we have a pretty good shot at 90 today. In regards to allergies, personally I cant wait for the first frost/freeze, I have never had allergies this bad until this summer and the OTC medicine can only do so much.
