cyclone77 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Only 70 atm with a few sprinkles. Humidity still pretty low. Gotta love that we're saving some on the AC which will help make up a little for the high heating bills from the past winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Today has been about as lousy as a July day could be. We've been stuck in the low to mid 60s with steady rain and a decent breeze. Most of the MCS went south, but my area was under the northern edge all day and it has been moving very slowly. I finished with 0.42". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hanging in the mid 70s here with cloudy skies. Not one day of 90° weather yet this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 This summer has been an A- for overall great weather, but a D for severe tracking. Plenty of time to go to determine final grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 This summer has been an A- for overall great weather, but a D for severe tracking. Plenty of time to go to determine final grades. Yep, just getting into prime derecho season. And if that fails there's severe chances in fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Pretty solid garden variety storm right now. Heavy rain, plenty of thunder and lightning, and winds to about 30-35mph right before the storm headed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I know that not many from the IWX CWA post here, but I hope that they get it repaired before tomorrow evening.

Geos Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Already feels nasty out there. 76°/70°. This humid weather has brought out the allergies for me... probably the mold spores. Picked up 0.11" of rain this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 No lake breeze in Racine yet. Although the dewpoint has backed down to 61°. It may be warm today, but the dews are solid, only upper 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Bigtime downpour with thunder/lightning going on right now in a storm that exploded right overhead. Makes up for missing out on most of the action last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It may be warm today, but the dews are solid, only upper 50s. Yeah not bad with the dewpoints now. This morning though, my windows were all steamed up! Pushing 86° here downtown Racine next to the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What a wonderful summer so far....few days of warm (not hot) and humid immediately followed by seasonally cool, low humidity, and sunshine. Some storms thrown in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Has to be nearing a modern record for resilience, if not already set. If it holds on another couple months a pleasant summer could turn into a suppressed fall and early onset of winter. 2013-14 redux?not holding my breath for a redux of 2013-14 lol.But the resiliency is amazing. Im not so sure the el nino is dead, but it is kinda funny how almost everyone was hyping a super nino (many said it could put 1982-83 and 1997-98 to shame) and now its looking weaker.

stormtrackertf Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Heaviest rain I've seen in a few years going on. Absolutely blinding with some 40 MPH gusts mixed in.Curb-to-curb water at the corner of my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 [Euro snipped] That is some pretty serious troughing for warmest climo of the year in this part of the country. 12Z ensemble easily gets single digit 850's down to Saginaw. Late July 2009 look to it with the ridge frying the west too. That summer also had a moderate El Nino developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Repeat of late July last year?! Up to 86° at home today. Lake Michigan water temperatures rivaling even the cool summer of 2009 by a long shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong/super Nino looks like it's off the table but still possible we end up with a weaker event. Climatologically speaking, Nino tends to increase in strength and peak later in the year so too early to write it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climatologically speaking, Nino tends to increase in strength and peak later in the year so too early to write it off. I dont know whats more impressive...75" at LAF or 95" at DTW.Weak el ninos tend to favor colder, snowier winters here anyway, so thats not a bad thing. It was the hyping of a record strong nino and the fact that karma owes us that I was already preparing for a super crappy 2014-15 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I dont know whats more impressive...75" at LAF or 95" at DTW. Trying not to be homer but I'd lean LAF. We blew the doors off our previous high snowfall season (like 60"). Detroit didn't beat its old record by nearly the same amount IIRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
