RobertSul Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Looks like Detroit Metro was literally drier than Hell. Not sure if this was posted but some impressive 2-month rainfall totals from June-July, which were very wet around the Detroit area 2013_Jun_Jul_Precip_Table.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This weather has just been perfect. Say what you will but this isn't winter where you're cooped up all day waiting for a blizzard to provide a nice change and excitement. 75-80 with low humidity and sunny is awesome weather for boating and fishing and golfing, plus I've been outside almost daily this entire summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 At 56° IMBY already. Thinking low 50s will be very possible tonight. Weather has been a bit boring, but it's very comfortable out! Keeping the windows open 24/7 is better than having the AC running non-stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 0.70" at LAF. Hopefully that cuts down on the daily dust storms. For real though, with the missing rainfall/obs from earlier...that probably puts LAF at around normal for summer. Ho hum. FWA has received a bit more than their normal August rainfall in the past two days...3.75" for Aug 2-3. Normal August rainfall is 3.64". Also, broke a daily record at FWA...and it was the 4th wettest August calendar day on record. 4.93" on August 1, 1926 4.78" on August 26, 1899 3.88" on August 9, 1957 3.59" on August 2, 2013 3.40" on August 20, 2007 RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 0124 AM EDT SAT AUG 03 2013 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL SET AT FORT WAYNE... A RECORD RAINFALL OF 3.59 INCHES WAS SET AT FORT WAYNE YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1.71 SET IN 1921. Based upon what the models have been showing and the pattern we are in, there is certainly a potential they could make a run for the August all time record there especially considering the start they have gotten off to.

Better start torching soon. For real though, September and October 2007...very toasty. November cooled off. We know where that winter went...

What makes you so bullish on that year? That was a very robust Nina which it appears we will fall short of this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Chilling out nicely tonight - down to 55°. Definitely noticing the days shortening now. Edit: Currently running -0.2 on the ONI index. Very close to the 2007 levels at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 What makes you so bullish on that year? That was a very robust Nina which it appears we will fall short of this time. The Nina really didn't get going until Sept/October and like that summer we were pretty much neutral ENSO this summer with a trend toward negative coming up. It might not be as strong but the trend is similar to that year. It just remains to be seen how strong of a Nina we get this winter, I don't think there is any question at this point of whether or not we are going to have a Nina however.

The trend toward the Nina side has been looking better as of late but I'd say there's still a reasonable shot it doesn't make official Nina status.

Sure there is, however I am hedging my bets that we make Nina status, somewhere in the -0.6 to -0.9 range. Not quite to the levels of 2007-2008 but closer than we currently are.

weatherbo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 was 43 at my house this morning. cool enough to accelerate the leaf change I think. went out on Ellsworth lake yesterday and the water temp has definitely chilled off from its peak a couple weeks back.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Got scraped by a couple lines of storms this morning. 0.15" at my house while 1-1.5+" fell north and east. We could certainly use more rain, but with all the cool/pleasant weather the grass is still green and the garden doesn't need much extra water.

Geos Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 was 43 at my house this morning. cool enough to accelerate the leaf change I think. went out on Ellsworth lake yesterday and the water temp has definitely chilled off from its peak a couple weeks back. I've noticed the drop in the water temp in my pond. The breezes off the lake have been noticeable all summer. Usually by late July there pretty weak and almost non-existent by August. Down to 54° here. Cloudy morning with no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Is it safe to assume that the lower lake temps from this cool summer will have an effect on LES production this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Is it safe to assume that the lower lake temps from this cool summer will have an effect on LES production this winter? Good point! I would say very likely. More ice coverage on the lakes this winter? Edit: I think it could end the LES a bit early. Although windy conditions can keep waters open and whether we have a mild autumn or not. Lake Michigan has taken a hit on the temperatures. Huron as well. Getting close to 2009 levels. --- No torches with a jet stream like this later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Is it safe to assume that the lower lake temps from this cool summer will have an effect on LES production this winter? It has been pretty normal, I don't think it matters anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
