Chinook Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The balloon-shaped thing in this picture is the NWS Cleveland radar dome. I saw this from across the runways at CLE airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 At 5Am dew was 68F...at 8Am the dew was 60F... looks like the cold front has moved through finally...dry of course. Could use some rain around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Had some moderate rain for a brief while early this morning, otherwise, it was a dry frontal passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The heat looks to be on in the extended in the middle of the country, places like St. Louis. The Western Lakes will be in the stormy portion of this ridge, so any heat looks to be substantially mitigated from convection and cloudiness, and I am thankful if this does happen.

michsnowfreak Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Going on 24 consecutive days at CLE without a positive temperature departure. The last above normal day was July 22, when it was 1 degree above normal. From July 15 through August 15, July 22 was the only above normal day at a paltry degree above they norm. Just an incredible stretch of cool weather. DTW snuck out a positive on August 2nd, so our consecutive streak isnt as impressive...however...since July 15th.....or 33 days (and likely 34 today), DTW has had just TWO above normal days (July 22 & Aug 2). Anyway you slice it...and impressive stretch.'= DETROIT Since July 15th... Above Normal...2 days Exactly Normal..3 days Below Normal..28 days Since July 1st Above Normal...7 days Exactly Normal..5 days Below Normal..35 days ********************************************** Of course...who can forget our historic winter? The snow was probably a bigger story...but the cold....38 of the 90 days were -10F departures OR COLDER. Obviously, winter is prone to much greater temp departures (both + and -) than summer. In the end, 62 days were below normal, 24 above normal, and 4 exactly normal. *********************************************** 2014 CALENDAR YEAR....January 1st - August 16th.... Above Normal....71 days Exactly Normal...13 days Below Normal...144 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Had some rain showers pass through late yesterday evening, but a nice sunny day looks to be on tap today with the Lake St. Clair marine layer having moved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Looking like some pretty hefty humidity moves back in here for the first time in quite awhile later in the week. May not be any 90s, but with dews potentially well over 70 for several days it's still gonna be a big change. Sitting at 1.74" since Jul 1.

Hoosier Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Looks like we may get another crack at 90 degrees in the extended, although considering what happened last time and over the course of the summer, I'd like this to be showing 95+ to have a lot of confidence.

MEX (and its parent the GFS) have been awful in the medium range...but, all guidance points to some good heat getting in here. I'd be shocked if we don't rip off at least 2-3 days of 90º+...possibly more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when you have 90's in every 7-day forecast since April, you better make sure you verify a few. He's a clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'd play the under on this. Looking at the Euro 850mb maps I thought we might have an outside shot at a 90 later this week or next weekend in Detroit, but the MEX doesn't even tease one 90 for Detroit. Looks to be littered with convection and convective debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be littered with convection and convective debris. I still think the potential is there for at least one 90*F, as the upper level ridge folds eastward...

The_Doctor Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 This sounds familiar FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...OPERATIONAL MODELS INDICATE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL BE OVER THE CWA FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH THEPOTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER MCS FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS TO BE FOLLOWED BY ASTRONG COLD FRONT BY SUNDAY WITH MORE THUNDERSTORMS. A SHARP TROUGHTHEN DIVES INTO THE MIDWEST DURING THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST WITHBELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. -DVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the local stations had a graphic up today that it has been 330+ days since the last 90 at IND. Looks impressive when stated that way.

Looks impressive when stated that way. Indeed. Though, nothing will probably ever top the 651 days in-between 90º temps at IND..from 8/24/2003 to 6/5/2005.

Spartman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dayton is currently still on target for the earliest final 90-degree day ever as of today. Unless temperatures luckily overachieve enough for another chance at 90 at least one of the days later this week, there are great concerns that the warmup by next weekend won't really cut it. We'll have to watch this closely through the end of next weekend.Top 5 Earliest Last 90-degree Days on Record:1. June 23, 2014 (as of August 17, 2014)2. July 8, 1971 (record)3. July 13, 19814.

cyclone77 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Pretty nice day here for August. Maybe a little warm/humid for some with temps in the mid 80s and dews in the mid 60s. All in all a pretty respectable day for the dog days of summer. The sky was kind of hazy again this afternoon from what I'm assuming is more smoke from somewhere. Made for another decent sunset, although not as spectacular as some of the ones we had a few weeks back. Shot this pic of the windmill here on the south side of town.
