Geos Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 NWS raised temps for Sunday to 80F (from 77F earlier)...blah... Give me 65F I have seen a fair share of 60s in August before. Courtesy of a wet trouffy pattern. Might be hard this go around - unless we can tap that really cool stuff up in the NWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've seen 30Fs in August... About 10 years ago we had frost in late August. I just want a streak of cooler weather. This 90F crap can set up over Saukville down to Chicago and points east 93F today..dew point right now 69F... steam oven continues. Looking forward to Sept/Oct/Nov ...best time of the year.

Do you happen to remember August 2004? I recall several nights in the mid 40's around here and a day or two that only made it into the mid or upper 50's. It was the second week of the month, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hello from Austria...caught some decent towers today, brief storms and lots of upper 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Upper 50Fs right now in North Dakota... That could have been when I had frost (I was living in West Salem which is east of LSE)... I think my sensor showed 34F one morning (20th?) and the roof had a layer of frost on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks like the high here today was 97, the 42nd day AOA 90 this year and the third consecutive day, which satisfies the official definition of a heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 97 today here and at Sterling. Also at Savanna. MLI strangely underachieved at 94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 93F or 94F here in La Crosse... Saw a young girl hitch hiking along I-90...no shade...should have picked her up, but I was getting off on the next exit. Never picked up a hitch hiker before..knowing my luck I'll get some nut job and end up as a lamp shade... in other news...its $%U&(*&ING hot outside!

Geos Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 High of 87° with clear skies all day. ...Well actually this morning there was some ground fog - everything was dewy this morning. Point dropped to 89° tomorrow. T-storms chance are in the likely category tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Today's high was 93*F at Metro Airport. It was an intra-hour high though, as the lake breeze kicked in and the hourly temp was stuck at 92*F for about 4 or 5 hours. Even City Airport crawled to 92*F late in the day thanks to full sunshine, despite the marine layer. If my math is right, as of today the month of August is already 7*F above average with a temp of 79*F (average is 72*F).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm about 10-20 miles West of Cadillac MI in the Manistee National Forest. It's swampy here with little relief. Tomorrow night looks fairly decent around these parts for severe weather. Not into that stuff when I'm backpacking and hitting the kayak.

Chicago WX Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 LAF has got its groove back...high temps in Indiana today below. And a 3 degree intrahour bump to get to that 96º to boot, icing on the cake. Hoosier is pleased no doubt, though maybe too little, too late.

turtlehurricane Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 10-15 mph southeasterly winds in Minneapolis with temperatures in the lower 80s, 60s with winds gusting from 40-50 mph west of town. Too bad this will probably die out before getting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 .25 inches of rain...still coming down.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 1.09" of rain here, our first 1" rain since mid April. The rain was very heavy, so it must have been a total bucket dump down at the airport because they got 2.08". This event was great because a large, very dry area got 0.75-2.00".

hm8 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 NWS has a forecast high of 74 for next Saturday... A MUCH LARGER WAVE IS FORECAST TO DIVE DOWN INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THEN SLOWLY LIFT THROUGH NORTHEAST CANADA (GFS) OR TO THE ATLANTIC COAST ON SATURDAY (EURO). THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES (HIGHS IN THE 70S!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
