michsnowfreak Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Crazy about LAF. We are much further north and have managed to squeeze out two 90F days at DTW. However, looking at the extended, while I wouldnt be shocked to see a 90F (as they can happen well into September), Im extremely confident that this summer will slide by without a single heatwave (and really, nothing even remotely resembling one). If the 2 days of 90F hold...2014 will be added to this list for the least 90s on record...records to 1874 0 days – 1882 0 days – 1907 0 days – 1915 1 day – 1875 1 day – 1877 1 day – 1883 1 day – 1885 1 day – 1979 1 day – 2000 2 days – 1886 2 days – 1992 2 days – 2014? Whats impressive is when you look at the dates...most of those summers were long ago. 8 of those 11 are from 1915 and earlier. So since 1916...or the last 99 years.... 1 day – 1979 1 day – 2000 2 days – 1992 2 days – 2014? Still, Im sure these stats will take a backseat to all the winter records we smashed when lookin back on 2014. 2014 is definitely my favorite weather year lol. For a contrast look...here are the 10 years with the MOST 90s. 39 days – 1988 36 days – 1934 32 days – 1955 31 days – 1931 30 days – 1944 30 days – 2012 29 days – 1952 26 days – 1941 26 days – 1964 25 days – 1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Indystorm, I think you'll get your wish, the 7 day HPC Precipitation map clearly keeps Wisconsin mostly dry and looking at most models, they seem to keep weak dry cool troughing in the Western Lakes, which means endless cool, sunny pleasant days for Door County most likely.

nwburbschaser Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Long range GFS has continued to show a nice ridge developing from the Midwest on east. CFS seems to agree.

wisconsinwx Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Great day to live near a lake, most cities around us hit the 80s, and we were in the low to mid 70s all afternoon with a nice, fall-like easterly breeze. Perfect day, too bad I spent much of it watching the PGA (though it is shaping up to be a good tourney). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many severe warnings have you had in Tippecanoe County this year, out of curiosity? Of course, not always the best criteria for 'interesting' as much as observed severe, but it would still play a part. Our average here is about six warnings per year, and I believe we've had seven or eight this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good memory...we've had 7 severe thunderstorm warnings and no tornado warnings. I don't know your severe climo as well, but that sounds about typical for this point of the year, I'd guess you average 8 or 9 severe warnings a year, is that in the ballpark? If so, it's not bad considering it was not one of the stormier summers in LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a great time, thanks for asking. The weather was perfect in our "Circle Lake Erie" tour except for one storm we ran into in Pennsylvania that was dropping 2+" an hour rainfall rates. We just stopped and waited it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I stand by my opinion that it's been a bit boring here this year in that department. Like I said though, stuff happens...oh well. Hoping to dodge some rain today, as I'm playing in a golf outing this afternoon. It's usually a pretty fun event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The amount of days this year where I have heard many people complain how hot it is when its in the upper 70s to low 80s is truly telling of the kind of summer we have had. 2014 - what a year for the cool crowd. Looks like a scorcher today - all the way to 84 - before we once again cool back to below normal temps the rest of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 7th straight day coming up with primarily east or northeast winds, hence very likely the 7th straight day with highs in the 70s. Pretty impressive, and that streak has a shot of growing quite long if we avoid 80 tomorrow yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 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. To answer your question, except for Monday 7/28/14, there was +TSRA and/or +SHRA in the vicinity of Detroit's city limits every day from 7/27/14 to 8/5/14...

wisconsinwx Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 What did the PGA Tour do to tick off the weather gods? Checked the Louisville radar about two to three hours ago and looked like all the scatter thundershowers were east of L'ville and now I turn on the golf to find out they received a quick inch of rain.

Hoosier Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 wisconsinwx, here's the number of warnings issued for Tippecanoe county year by year since 1986. Obviously have to take older years with a grain of salt as radar technology was less advanced back then, which would affect how many warnings were issued. Plus I don't know if there may be some missing data. Also, some of these warnings did not actually include LAF as the polygon was for a different portion of the county, but they were counted anyway. year/severe/tornado 2013: 12, 32012: 12, 12011: 37, 72010: 23, 32009: 12, 32008: 13, 32007: 8, 12006: 9, 42005: 18, 12004: 9, 22003: 10, 32002: 4, 02001: 14, 02000: 8, 11999: 3, 01998: 7, 01997: 1, 01996: 4, 11995: 2, 01994: 8, 11993: 4, 11992: 7, 01991: 6, 11990: 0, 01989: 7, 11988: 4, 01987: 7, 01986: 3, 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
