Gilbertfly Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 2012 was silly...i watered my backyard at night every few days just so the kids wouldn't get concussions playing on the lawn. Watching some cummulus build vertically to my east and to my north.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Can see the storms popping up in a linear fashion. SW of Milwaukee to near LSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wisconsin is the pop up storm capital of the world lately. They can do no wrong. Bring some of that south over the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Probably top 3 heaviest rainfalls this year just took place. Traffic on the interstate came to a complete stop (I could just barely see the car maybe 10 feet in front of me)... Like going through a car wash. Letting up now. When i left the store it was 83F and now its back to 66F at home... First heavy rainfall...grass around here was starting to get that August burn going, but this may help that some.

Chicago Storm Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 S. Lake Michigan buoy with a water temp of 73F, which is the warmest of the year thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 That cell in the northeast quarter of Cook County is looking pretty healthy! Cell approaching 60dbz. Lake breezy boundary clearly evident on radar. Cell west of Madison quite strong. No doubt blinding rain with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just heard there was enough hail to cover the entire ground in Grosse Pointe. And of course, I missed the severe t'storm just a few miles to my west on Saturday, and now I miss the severe t'storm just a few miles to my east today.

cyclone77 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nice!!! I am very much looking forward to winter pics with this new camera Thanks. Yeah I'm looking forward to fall foliage and winter time shots to be sure. A few storms have popped up around the area, but nothing here yet. Heard some thunder to the north a little while ago.

McDude Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Incredible down pour in la grange. Vivid cloud to ground lightening. Hail also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 As expected, the stable marine NE flow kept most of the storms at bay. Still had a 30-60 minute downpour in Bayside, but no thunder or lightning that I could detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 0.34" here in the last half hour. Had a good downpour for a few mins. Looks like a tiny hail core passed just east of here. Lightning was kind of weird. Single stroke CGs with very short duration thunder. Almost looked like fake CGI lightning from a movie lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Had an absolute torrential downpour around 6pm, not a ton of thunder/lightning, but some.....and 0.76" in the gauge. My sister had hail in St Clair Shores to whiten the ground and a lightning bolt skinned her neighbors tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Training thunderstorms, which I assume were lake breeze induced, produced at least 8" of rain on the southern Greater Toronto Area city of Burlington. Major flash flood event. News and hard facts are always scanty around here, but I imagine thousands of homes were flooded and several dozen people were stranded. Haven't heard anything about casualties. Halton Regional Police earlier tweeted stranded motorists were swimming from cars.

wisconsinwx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 If you add up all the anomalies from November 2013 to July 2014, you get -36.8F according to the official NWS Milwaukee stats in that nine month period. Dividing the nine months, it shows that through the period, the average anomaly was more than four degrees below average. If we can take this trend through the next three months, it will be pretty impressive considering we haven't been able to muster a below average temperature year period recently. Steering this toward the topic, I think August has a good shot of being yet another below average month. It may be much closer than recent months to average if we don't get as many cool shots as July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cloud have hung on all day across eastern Iowa, keeping the temp down in the low 70s through 2pm. We may be lucky to reach 70 the next two days with rain moving in. I'm still not sure how much rain I'll get. There may be a sharp northern edge of the heavy rain and I should be just inside or just outside of it. An inch would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Oh how could I forget Fall foliage! Should get some spectacular shots! Is this the 3rd or 4th straight day of heavy rain in the Detroit city limits? I am seeing 50 reflectivites around I-96 in Wayne County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Foggy morning today as a few locations have been down to .06SM visibilities this morning (FWA/Grissolm). Its made for a nice morning in BG, although golfing may be a little tougher than I originally expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sunny morning - very nice outside so far. Wish the NE flow would relax and allow some of the rain to the west to move in. Very sharp cut off to the south in rainfall tallies this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 48 this morning but some inland areas were down a little lower. doesn't get any better than this for late Summer. Looking like August will definitely be the warmest month of this Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 My gauge recorded 1.08 inches yesterday, I picked up around 0.40 in the morning and 0.68 in the evening. My wife said it was an epic downpour..... I should be able to turn the sprinkler off for a week at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for some cool whether up that way, I'm going to be tenting it... Can't sleep in +70F temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading to camp at Muskallonge st park in the UP towards the end of the month as school gets closer to starting and the Summer tourist begin to thin.

Hoosier Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Date to watch for Lafayette is August 15. If we make it past then with no 90s, we will have done something that hasn't been done in over 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 gorgeous day in NW lower... 78, breezy and sunny. side note: officially listed my house on the market today. decided to head to the UP.... going up to look around Alger or Luce counties!
