Cyclone - where is that awesome looking map from?

 

69/65 currently. Probably still cloudy too.

 

It's GREarth.  Love the program.  It may seem a bit pricey but it's a very cool tool for current analysis of all kinds, along with model forecast features.  It's also very customizable.  I've built several custom color tables for various attributes.

Very cool. Maybe closer to winter I'll invest in getting a data feed. 

 

Only a 4° spread in temperature for Sunday here. 68-72

I'll bet you're looking forward to going from the 90s early this week to 60s late in the week like I am, the rollercoaster looks to continue.

 

Yes.  :)

Hopefully the last high peak for the season.

 

Those are some really low heights rearing their head in 72 hours.

Very impressed at the shot at 100 both today and tomorrow.  Can't remember it being this hot so late.  0.22" of rain in the last 34 days here, with 0.00" at MLI in the same time frame.  Ground surface is completely baked, and with all the right ingredients coming into place today and tomorrow I think we'll hit 100 either both, or at least one of the two days.

I wouldn't call the upper '80s on deck stifling summer oppression but yeah, many more well above normal stretches to come. It's going to be a warm fall.

 

It looks more favorable for heat toward your direction, even worse for Iowa going through the month.  I would agree with the 8-14 day CPC prediction, but who knows beyond that.

Well ladies and gents, looks like these next 2 days are going to be summer making its last impressive stand across most of the subforum.

I'll be trying to make the most of it. Then I'm ready for a change of seasons.

 

Yeah.

 

With each consecutive model run, it looks like we're going to hit at least 90*F on Wednesday as well as Tuesday.

That's definitely going to have an impact on the dewpoint pooling this way tomorrow (limiting mixing heights?), as well as the high temperatures tomorrow across those locales where it did rain.

 

Hmmm...

Already uncomfortable outside now. The light winds should allow for a lake breeze today though. I predict tomorrow will be the last 90° reading of the year here, probably the last shot at 70° dewpoints as well.

Warm first half of the met autumn is what I'm thinking. That CPC outlook though is different in terms of above normal coverage. Past Autumns you would see a much larger above normal area.
