wisconsinwx Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The far SE areas have had full sun all day and with 850mb temps around 13c. So making it to 80 was kind of inevitable. RAC and ENW will probably crack 80 as well. That explains it, because I ate lunch downtown as I was typing my message and it felt comfortable and cloudy, so it was difficult for me to believe the airport hit 80F at noon already.

Geos Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hit 81° today. I hoping these dewpoints come down tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It would be interesting to do this with the low temps. With the way LAF radiates I would guess there are a lot more low temps AOB average than say IND. LAF min temps: 28 days above...34 below...7 normal June: 12 days...12 days...6 days July: 13 days...17 days...1 day August: 3 days...5 days...0 days LAF overall average temperature days (June 1 - August 8) 25 days...37 days...7 days IND isn't a fair fight though, as they're usually the highest in the state with min temps.

Stebo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Some of the maples in my neighborhood are starting to show color on their tops, unreal for the 2nd week of August. Oh and this excerpt from DTX's morning AFD says what you see is what you will continue to get. MODEL THICKNESS FIELDS SUGGEST THIS AIR MASS COULDBE THE COLDEST YET IN THE RECENT STRETCH OF BELOW NORMALTEMPERATURE CONDITIONS. My point and click for next week: Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 71. Tuesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 53. Wednesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Wednesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 56. Thursday Sunny, with a high near 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Surprisingly mostly cloudy for the last hour or two. Holding steady in the low 70s with a lake wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it has been many years since we have seen such a onset of colder temps like this so early into August. I wonder if all the rain of July is the main culprit of the yellowing trees in the region ?? Even the acorns are falling..... Never the less the dog days of summer are feeling more like fall.

Geos Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Daff - wow you got acorns already falling! A bit early for that. I think last year due to the drought they fell a bit early. Like the 3rd/4th week of August, but now is early. Some trees around here change really early and I've always heard it's due to some disease or disorder the tree has. Anyways, a beautiful day today, high 74°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Perfect weather for hiking and nature study, which I did yesterday and today since I had two days off. Perseid meteor shower the next couple nights. Gotta observe nature in ways other than the usual met concerns around the Midwest until hurricane season starts to rev up in the Atlantic and Gulf, which is usually the only time I read the main page of this weather forum anymore.

nwohweather Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Awesome weather although the last two days we've been socked in with clouds, kinda stinks but it is nice to be golfing and fishing without breaking a sweat in early August. Such nice weather, or as I like to say Northern Michigan weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looks like a good chance of rain tomorrow especially towards night time. Hanging in the low 60s right now. Pretty nice out. Departures for August so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Had a pretty good time today hiking up along Lake Michigan near Port Washington, WI today - after the rain quit. Only a trace of rain down here all day. 75/53 for today. Very green! Very straight for a path! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 actually lucking out in to some decent rain by looking at radar and it started raining just as we pulled in the hood...didn't feel like unpacking the truck at midnight anyways...even a few rumbles of the elusive thunder...should probably buy a few powerball tickets this week. Great pics, Geos. I wish Port was closer... I love the area and don't utilize it hardly at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 MKE picked up 1.10" of rain overnight. Only 0.35" at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Wow...lot of rain over to the east... We picked up just over 1/2 inch yesterday...biggest rainfall in a loooong time. Still bone dry here. Amazing flip from May/June... Temps have been basically stead in the 70Fs during the day and 50Fs/low 60Fs at night... NAEFS shows above avg temps coming back to areas east of here in the late Aug time frame... Still shows avg here... at that point though, temps are gradually falling...avg temp on Aug 28th is 80F/60F.. Haven't followed the weather at all lately...haven't look at the GFS/Euro in probably a month. Can't complain about this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Finally we got some needed rain this morning. In fact, the airport recorded over an inch between 1am and 7am. I can't remember the last day we received over an inch of rain without looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sun poking through now...it was actually misting lightly with the thick fog in place... Looks like a heck of a stretch this week again. Really got to wonder if the 90Fs are done for the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Looks like the cold front is almost here. Up to 77° here now. Was wondering too, whether the 90s will ever return this year... The warm-ups always seem to be in fantasy land on the models lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Looks like the cold front is almost here. Up to 77° here now. Was wondering too, whether the 90s will ever return this year...

BowMeHunter Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Definitely needed that inch+ of rain and that skinny snake of better rains could've easily mostly missed us like it did just a short distance away by Brewers and wiwx. Hopefully we torch around and through labor day weekend.. It will be right near a month this coming weekend since we've had even a small stretch of real good beach weather and I'm kinda actually missing me some of those upper 80's and 90's days. Avg high temp dropped below 80 on the 5th but we only lose 2 more degree's the rest of the month. Around this time next month we'll be losing about a degree on the high temp every 2 two days!

hawkeye_wx Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Euro trending toward the jet stream lifting north and getting this area back into a more summery pattern beyond a week, but it doesn't look any wetter than the current bone dry pattern. Parts of Iowa(Des Moines, in particular) have been so dry the last couple months they are now back below average for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Might be the last stretch of below average temps before we warm back up again. RAC MOS guidance shows upper 60's the next two days and lows in the mid-low 50's. MAV guidance for BUU shows 45 Wednesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
