SchaumburgStormer Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 65/48 right now at the noon obs. Some clouds passing on by on the NNE wind. The longer the heat up is pushed forward, the less intense it should be. Lost about 75 minutes of daylight since the Solstice. Will see how this plays out... predicted upper air flow on Sunday and departures in Chicagoland for the 1-2 week range. wgnwx081313.pn I dont really mind this weather... Spending the last week in Italy, where it was hot (including a 97 degree day in Rome) reminded me of how much I dislike intense heat. Windows open, lets runs this right to October.

SpartyOn Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just the annual lets call for a warm winter to rile the board. I always have an underlying concern we are due for several more stinker winters (we had one, 2011-12, after a 4 year snow blitz) but everything ive heard so far points to a decent to good winter. We always hear its going to be a good winter. 2011-12 prime example of why caution should be used. The usual personal preference plays a role on what is considered to be a good winter.

wisconsinwx Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 We have about a 50 percent chance of an above average snowfall winter IMO, illustrating my lack of trust in long range forecasting and the localized nature of many snowstorms.

Yeah really - let's do it! Sounds intense. Was that kind of heat, humid? Clouded up really good here now. Made it to 67° today. Lake was pretty choppy even up into WI.

IWXwx Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 IND's record low for 8/14 is 48° ('64). The p-n-c for the airport is 50°. Could be close. The same year, FWA dropped to 41°. Ain't catchin' that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hit 69 today for the high, amazing for August 13th. The record tonight is 48, probably going to be tough to hit that, unless the wind calms and the clouds break up, which is possible. Forecast low is 50 tonight.

Geos Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Supposed to dip to 48 here tonight. Excellent bonfire weather. Speaking of a bonfire... was that gas pipeline explosion real close to you? Can imagine that could have warmed the air up for a good distance around it! --- Really chilly in northern WI, MN this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The high at DTW was 69F todays, despite afternoon sunshine. This makes it the 3rd coldest high temp for August 13th (#1 is 66F in 1964, #2 is 68F in 1992). Tomorrow's record low is 48F set in 1964, MOS has DTW at 51F (GFS) and 52F (NAM), so while 40s are a sure bet in the outlying areas, lets see if DTW can sneak a record in.

Can imagine that could have warmed the air up for a good distance around it! --- Really chilly in northern WI, MN this morning! 081313lows.png Yeah it was on the north side of town. The whole northern sky was lit up from the fire. Apparently they could see it for 50+ miles in all directions. They evacuated areas on the north side of town. When it initially blew I thought it was thundering for a sec. Sounded just like it. Instinctively checked the radar on my phone and saw there was no precip anywhere near here. Flames were shooting almost 200ft up into the air for several hours until they finally got the gas feed shut off. Temps really crashing here. Down to 54 already.

Geos Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Cyclone - sounds like quite of an event! Down to 54.0° imby. Looks like upper 40s if clouds don't drift in from the lake. Edit: 1:45am, 51° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 with a couple hours yet to fall, Grayling is 38, I'm 44, Bellaire is 43. the warm spot closest to me, 12 miles north on the coast is Charlevoix, at 57.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Had a high of 67 and now down to 49 here which is the first time since June 19th that it has been below 50. Record low is 41 which is safe. Thursday the record low is 39 which also looks safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Low of 53 at RAC and MKE. The few lake effect clouds and light winds probably kept us warmer. 41 at BUU, 44 at FLD, 36 at AIG and 32 at TKV. GRB dropped to 43. New record low of 34 at RHI.

weatherbo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks like Grayling fell to 38, Bellarie, just to my south was 40. Low at my place was 43 but a couple miles north of here in a typical cold spot, it was 41. A couple shots from across the road this morning. Lake has cooled to the point it's too cool to swim comfortably.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Lake has cooled to the point it's too cool to swim comfortably.... 814131.JPG Tried swimming last weekend in lake Erie just north of Pelee Island....

Jonger Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 As I was telling my mother yesterday, you really need above average summers to enjoy the water in Michigan. An average summer, which we have had so far, isn't ideal for swimming. Obviously the last 3 weeks have been below average, but as a whole the summer has been average.

wisconsinwx Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Allergies have been plaguing me pretty bad lately. Ironically, I will be heading up to an area that saw near freezing temperatures last night. If only they were a couple degrees cooler, perhaps they would have had a killing frost already.
