Thundersnow12 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah, little to no wind is good. Especially where I play in league on Mondays. Course has been in top notch shape with this tame summer. Firmer fairways would be nice, but beggars... Been playing a lot lately. Shot a 78 on Wednesday. Greens were quite soft with a lot of rain a days before so could go at flags. Usually can't around here in August. Couldn't ask for a better forecast tomorrow.

Hoosier Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 00z MEX has 95 here on Saturday. I haven't followed it a ton this summer but I don't recall it having temps that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually can't around here in August. Couldn't ask for a better forecast tomorrow. The beautiful weather is adding insult to injury. I had a woman take a left turn directly in front of me in early July, totaling my car and tearing my rotator cuff. Most beautiful golf weather we have had in some time, and I get to enjoy it as I walk in and out of the physical therapy building... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 MEX cooled off a bit for the weekend here. IND not forecasting any 90s yet...probably going to wait until it gets closer and there's compelling evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dew point up to 71F... can't go outside unless i wear a gas mask because of ragweed. Hope we get a good downpour later this afternoon to wash this crap out. Nasty thing year. I don't look forward to winter, but at least we can say bye bye to biting flies, mosquitoes, allergies.

cyclone77 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking like the main action will fire off over the western half of Iowa and crap the bed before it makes it in here later this eve. Only hope for rain here may be if anything can pop up ahead of the main convection, which the HRRR and others have hinted at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny the ragweed hasn't been that bad over this way and neither has the mosquitoes. Usually my allerigies are pretty bad at this time. But not now at least! Hanging in the mid 70s here up near the lake in Racine. Plenty of sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Geos, that NE and E wind that has been prevalent near the lake this year is a deterrent for spreading the ragweed, given that we have a big lake in that direction and not much land between us and the lake for allergens to be picked up.

cyclone77 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 This one's looking like another dud for northwest IL. Had 70% chance tonight, but don't think we'll get much. Next bust forecast for Wed night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Wow...rain everywhere around me, but just a few drops here...not enough to get the pavement wet...hit 89F here this afternoon... Ragweed usually peaks here pretty quickly and falls off quickly...so hopefully it lets up soon...all this rain around should wash a lot of it out of the air. Its been bad, worse then i can remember ...as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Temperatures overachieved at 88 degrees intra-hour today. Highest temperature so far this month. Forecast highs were originally low 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Detroit still managed negative temp departures yesterday and today...so updating... Since July 15th... Above Normal...2 days Exactly Normal..3 days Below Normal..30 days Since July 1st Above Normal...7 days Exactly Normal..5 days Below Normal..37 days This looks to come to an end this week, though Im still not sure if Detroit has anymore 90s in their future in 2014. We had two days of 90 this year, and neither was that humid. We have not had a single honest to goodness hot, humid day all summer. Not a single one. And hardly any summer haze this year. So Im thinking the increasing humidity this weekend will make for the most uncomfortable days of the entire year, even if its only in the mid-80s. (I would say some mid-upper 80s in late June were so far the most uncomfortable days of the summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm surprised the SPC put us in the slight risk area for severe weather today. It makes sense though. We have some opportunity to see a fair amount of daytime heating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Like cyclone, we continue to get missed by every possible rain event. Our last good rain was July 12th. My gauge has collected 0.08" over the last four weeks. There's a shot at storms Wednesday night, but it's possible the building warm dome keeps them north. It seems likely our 90-less summer is about to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah i was thinking nothing for my local based on trends to my south and west....but the initiation over the lake is intriguing.....pwats trying to hold on in a narrow ribbon between the 2 areas. As you said, overhead initiaion is prolly likely for me down here. Of note, this feels like the first time in awhile that there is actually movement within a warm moist sector (imby)...the last month has been stagnant when DPs creeped up. Its nice to see some decent motion in the low and mid levels. Edit: and RC....nice to see your "Chiberia" still making the rounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ervin from DVN was mentioning on fb that we may be seeing one of the driest 4 week stretches of weather during the summer in a long time if the rains later this week miss again. Hit 87 here today. Gusty west breeze made it feel cooler than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 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, 1981 4. July 26, 1967 5. July 28, 1921 Temperatures overachieved at 90 degrees today. Forecasted highs were the mid-80s. The all-time earliest last 90 on record is finally safe! Today marks as the 4th 90 degree day of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
