Harry Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 And Fall is once again in the air! Been the case alot of this month.. Was looking at Battle Creek 5nw daily stuff for the month and it has fallen into the 40s 10 times ( lowest 43 on 3 occasions ) while it has only dropped into the 60s just 5 times and warmest being 66. Pretty remarkable. The warmest high at either KBTL or 5nw is 87 which was hit again today for the 3rd time this year at KBTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Latest Lake Michigan surface temps. Finally managed to get under a decent shower. Pouring pretty good atm. Question for those more familiar with LES. Is it necessarily a foregone conclusion that this coming LES season is headed for the crapper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Question for those more familiar with LES. Is it necessarily a foregone conclusion that this coming LES season is headed for the crapper? I wouldn't completely write it off but without a very warm August-October, the season will be shorter this year. The maps shown are surface tempatures but the sub surface temps are much colder and haven't warmed a considerable amount especially Superior. A good fall system would overturn the lakes and even squash the LES season even more. In other words don't look for a good LES season this year.

DAFF Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The cold water of Superior is even more impressive. Even in the shallows of lake St.Claire temps are much colder than usual. With the sun angle decreasing and a constant NW flow fall looks to be more likely here sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It was almost "brisk" this morning. Low of 55°. Here's the average bottom temps for Lake Michigan. Not that far from typical though. Lake Superior surface temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 59 here and a chilly 54 in Gaylord at nearly 2pm. with the wind and clouds, it's cold feeling out. Too soon.... I'd like a warm August please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Absolutely phenomenal out there today. Fresh northwest breeze, low humidity, puffy clouds whizzing by, and temps in the upper 70s. Just about everyone is outside doing something today. It felt pretty nice walking around, but it was too windy to be called 'phenomenal'. It was really howling at times. I had to move one of my big potted plants into the garage for the day to prevent it from being shredded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Another crisp fall (oops, summer) day with temps holding in the mid 60s close to Lake Michigan. It could be the 4th day in July with a high in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's tough to beat today's weather. At mid-afternoon it's 75/50 with a 10-15 mph north breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Mid 60s with sunny conditions at this time of summer is noteworthy! ...especially with the combined dewpoints in the upper 40s! - Something I would expect more in June! Yeah - no kidding Wisconsinwx. You could have days like this in October and even November! Extremely nice weather today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Assuming we do not see 80F again til August...this July saw just 13 day with a high temp at or above 80F. This ties for the 4th lowest on record! Since 1874, or 141 years, only 9 Julys have had 13 or less days with a high of 80F+. And 3 of those 9 are since 2000. 1884 - 13 days 1891 - 9 days 1895 - 13 days 1920 - 12 days 1924 - 13 days 1992 - 13 days 2000 - 10 days 2009 - 13 days 2014 - 13 days So if you want to rank in the order of least amount of 80F days.... 1.) 1891 - 9 days 2.) 2000 - 10 days 3.) 1920 - 12 days 4.) 1884, 1895, 1924, 1992, 2009, 2014 - 13 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 58.8° water temp recorded today in southern LM (mid lake buoy) Second coldest temp ever recorded this late in summer. Yep...from LOT: INTERESTINGLY...THE LARGE WAVES ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED TO NEAR RECORD COLD WATER TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING. LARGE WAVES CAUSE UPWELLING...WHICH BRINGS COLDER SUB-SURFACE WATER UPWARD TOWARD THE SURFACE RESULTING IN A DROP IN SURFACE WATER TEMPERATURES. THE WATER TEMPERATURE AT THE SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN MID LAKE BUOY DROPPED TO 14.9C (58.8F) FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS MORNING. ONLY ONCE BEFORE HAVE WATER TEMPERATURES COLDER THAN THAT BEEN OBSERVED AT THE MID LAKE BUOY THIS LATE IN THE SUMMER (JULY 28TH THROUGH AUGUST 31ST)...WHICH WAS BACK ON AUGUST 29TH/30TH OF 2009 WHEN THE WATER TEMPERATURE DIPPED AS LOW AS 14.1C (57.4F). TYPICALLY WATER TEMPERATURES AT THE SOUTHERN MID LAKE BUOY IN LATE JULY AND AUGUST ARE IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S. A LOOK BACK AT HOURLY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SOUTHERN MID LAKE BUOY GOING BACK TO 1981...PRIOR TO TODAY THERE HAD ONLY BEEN 19 HOURLY OBSERVATIONS WITH WATER TEMPERATURES BELOW 15.0C (59.0F) THIS LATE INTO THE SUMMER SEASON. OUT OF OVER 25,000 OBSERVATIONS THAT EQUATES TO A FREQUENCY OF LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF ONE PERCENT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwburbschaser Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Just a little bit cool today. Today would have felt great if it was October, but I want a little bit more heat in July. Without the winds it might have been okay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Another fantastic day here, and with less wind compared to yesterday. Made it to 75 with dews as low as the upper 40s at times. Normally I want at least one or two major heat waves during a summer to sort of get my summer fix, but after the last two hot summers I don't care as much about not having major heat.
