wisconsinwx Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 where's wisconsinwx? and free bowme Lol to both, I started a new job this week, so training and little ability for phone access, but was lucky to catch the storm as the building had windows, and I wasn't the only one checking out the show.

on_wx Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looked really impressive. Lake shadow screwed me though. Waterloo screwed me over, but up to dime size hail was reported in far northeast Waterloo and parts of Kitchener. Was excited and hopeful to see some hail of any size, but as if. I've personally seen brief pea size stones three times here. Looking forward to the day we get hail storm like I've witnessed in Kansas and Oklahoma. Whenever that'll be. Fun rare hail day for a lot of areas today, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Don't see hail accumulate like this around here very often. Nothing spectacular, but still kinda cool. Some more photos: http://interactives.wlfi.com/photomojo/gallery/13522/252502/photos-august-1-hail-storm/untitled-photo/ Going by #s 4, 8, and 9...the winter season frozen tally has begun. Remember something like this in 2003 or 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Had pulse storms all around this evening, but nada here at the house. Still had fun shooting some pics west if town earlier, and then tried for some lightning east of Prophetstown later in the eve. Lots of lightning, but all of it was either in the clouds or concealed within the rain cores. Here's a few shots of one of the storms west of town earlier on in the evening..

Geos Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 0.04" of rain last night - not a great deal. Sunny and a little hazy here as the noon hour approaches. Pretty nice out! --- So far not one 90° high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 ^ Thanks DVN took the 20% storm chance out of the forecast for today/tonight. Still wouldn't be surprised to see this developing cumulus field yield a few storms later on in isolated areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Back in MI. Pop up storms e'rrywhere but can't see clouds for ****... Gonna miss that part of OK Low 80s I can very much deal with however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It was a pretty nice day, but surprisingly felt pretty warm despite highs near 80 and dews only in the 50s. Must've been the crowds at State Fair and the full sun combining to funnel and trap the heat that was present. I am looking forward to mid next week and more perfect temps in the low to mid 70s.

Geos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Skies have been perfectly clear this morning. Nice summer day on tap again. Clear enough that you can easily make out the urban areas on the SSEC sat image this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear enough that you can easily make out the urban areas on the SSEC sat image this morning. You mean a scorcher (by this year's standards), right? It's already 82F at 11am with dewpoints in the 60s. Only a handful of days this summer have seen low to mid 80s before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a handful of days this summer have seen low to mid 80s before noon. Well within 5 or so miles of the lake it will be more tolerable. I don't mind these kind of days once in awhile! It's the summers like 2012 that I don't care to go through again! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Some seriously uncomfortable stuff over on the other side of the planet. At 12z at Abumusa Island in the Persian Gulf had 95/88 with a heat index of 134. Several other locations nearby with dews in the 84-88 range. Map with heat indices.

wisconsinwx Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Some scattered t'showers starting to pop. Temp has leveled out in the low 80s, so not as much bust potential on the temps as I thought before. I figured perhaps we would climb into the mid to upper 80s if storms didn't bust out soon.

Geos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Managed to hit 87° here. Outflow boundary flowing southward through Kenosha looks to bring some 70s pretty soon. --- Interesting satellite image taken this afternoon of cumulus that quickly formed during the heating of the day. All kinds of cumulus west of the lake, perfectly clear along the Michigan shoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Drove through Detroit today, including Wyandotte, and staying in London, Ontario tonight. Juat picture perfect weather up this way. Going to hit Hamilton and Niagara Falls tomorrow, Buffalo on Tuesday, Cleveland on Wednesday. In other words, I'm getting to see the towns of several posters on the forum. EDIT: I also drove through Toledo and saw the lines of people waiting to get fresh water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So how did you find the first round about you ran into just before the 401?? What a disaster of a project. While you are here enjoy the beer, wine and food. Tim's coffee in the morning (double double), Italian sub for lunch and a Poutine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Lake Erie has experienced an large algal bloom which has made the municipal water supply undrinkable for Toledo. This affects Toledo and several suburbs. Toledo even made it into Wikipedia under "Algal Bloom." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_bloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are here enjoy the beer, wine and food. Tim's coffee in the morning (double double), Italian sub for lunch and a Poutine too. The roundabout is pretty wild. The wife was complaining vigorously. I won 6 $100 Tim Cards in a sweepstakes awhile back, so the coffee's flowing. The closest Tim's to my house is in Lima, Oh., but it makes for a good road trip.

Gonna miss that part of OK Low 80s I can very much deal with however welcome back! Low 80s feels hot to us lol. DTW hit 84 yesterday, only 6 days in July were hotter than that, and only one of those days exceeded 87! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Pretty cool start to the morning with easterly to northeasterly flow keeping lakeshore areas in the 60s at this time. Hopefully we warm a bit to allow some fuel for t'storm activity that looks to be more widespread than yesterday's activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Up into the mid 70s near the lake now. Few high clouds, otherwise sunny out now. Could really use a good thunderstorm complex to sweep the area! Grass is burning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nothing crazy.....but some pockets of 2000 CAPE and decent PWATS around 1.3 to 1.4 per meso around LOT....while scattered in nature, there could be a few decent cells mixed in here and there this afternoon... Can't recall the last daylong strato deck with off and on showers that I have had IMBY...wouldn't mind one of those over the next few weeks for S & G's.... feeling very shticky out compared to the last 7 days or so...
