michsnowfreak Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I would say that high temperatures that occur just after midnight are much less frequent than low temperatures that occur just before midnight. I have a personal weather station and can easily tally up my stats for the year. I had 61 days this year where the low temperature was recorded prior to midnight. Conversely there only 28 days where I had a high temperature that occurred just after midnight. I know a lot on this board like to moan over the midnight highs, but rarely a peep over the much more common low before midnight that has pretty much the same effect on a day's weather stats. I'm curious what this ratio is at DTW? It might not be as even as you think. Very interesting...not sure how I would tally it for DTW. I guess my main point is, as long as its consistent (ie its been done that way since 1874...the high and the low for the calendar day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'd imagine that wisconsinwx is liking the medium/long range outlook. A lot of sun and 70's from what I see. At this point, I can't complain if we get a few more days like today going into August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 That I am nwburbschaser. This summer has been the best I've experienced since 2010 (a warm, active summer is about equal to a cool, moderately active summer in my book). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer has been the best I've experienced since 2010 (a warm, active summer is about equal to a cool, moderately active summer in my book). This is more typical of a Thunder Bay, Ontario summer than SE Michigan. Its been wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Rainwise, it seems to be all or nothing around here the last few years. I got record rainfall in June with over 14 inches. After another good rain event in early July the faucet has been shut off. After two completely dry weeks today had looked like a good shot at moderate to heavy rain, but I only managed 0.49". The next 7-10+ days look very dry again so July will finish below normal. At least this year is heat-free. The excitement of endless early summer storms may be gone, but the long stretch of pleasant weather is certainly an acceptable replacement.

cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Only 70 for a high today. Was cloudy most of the day, and rained all morning. Picked up 0.28". Up to 1.32" for the month. Since the rain is pretty much over for the month it's looking like we'll end up with nearly 11" less rainfall than last month. What a change.

Powerball Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It was a easy call Here, at least, we'll probably get some stratiform rain or light rain showers at some point. But yeah, severe weather potential is marginal at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Looks like extensive cloud cover, sprinkles and an occasional light shower spreading this way. This was supposed to be a sunny warm day, but it's possible extensive cloud cover could persist much of the day and keep the temp from reaching the mid 80s.

wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 gonna be a good call It was an easy call, except for last night, this morning, as the models showed some better precip in NE Illinois, but today's action was always progged south of the majority of the Chicago metro, and who knows about tomorrow, that may fizzle into barely even a shower itself.

wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just did some quick research, and Milwaukee has not had a July low average of below 60F in the last 16 years, I'll look further to see how long it's been. With six days to go, we're sitting at 59.6F for our average low, very good chance we can accomplish it. In today's day and age of the high minimums, that's pretty impressive.

cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Been a cloudy, but muggy day here. Had a few sprinkles a little while ago. Not really expecting much here. May get grazed by something later, but looks like things are gonna want to plow south towards the better instability. Complex organizing in NE probably gonna plow southeast into MO, and then turn more left as mature mesovorts start pulling them a bit more towards the north.

Geos Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hit 80 degrees today. One of the more humid days of the week. Last 10 days has averaged 77.1°. About 3° below normal for the time span. Hopefully the area will get some rain again. Starting to water the small plants outside now. 1.08" of rain month to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
