daddylonglegs Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 58F here...perfect out...mix of sun and clouds..winds are a little below hurricane force. I'll take 60F for a few months. Can't complain..no need for heat, no ac... Extended looks mild/warm..NAEFS shows warming moving back in the extended half..probably finish sept warm...good thing we do have clouds around..should protect us against any frost. Sat morning might be close, but looks more likely the coldest temps will stay north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 57 here...impressive but kinda depressing. Likely would be setting a record low max for the date had it not been for the early morning high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Still only 49 here. Had a high of 52 or 51 at midnight. Shaping up as one of the coldest days within the first 2 weeks of Sept ever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 High of 74 today 10 minutes after midnight and a low of 52 at 910 this morning. Currently a balmy 59 outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looks like today's high at ORD will be 56 (at midnight)...breaking the previous record low max for the day by 5 degrees. If today's high at MKE remains 51, it will be the coldest high temp on record for so early in the season. The next earliest high temp of 51 or lower was on 9/15/1916 (50).

Geos Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hit 50° finally at RAC. Solid stratus all day. Everyone at work is commenting on how cold it feels today! 53° for the high at UGN at midnight. 50° for a high during the day only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely would be setting a record low max for the date had it not been for the early morning high. That's a recurring theme in the winter. Never thought I'd hear it uttered in September.

London snowsquall Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Last Friday's thunderstorms were cool. A good 3-4 hrs of continuous t-storms from about 6-10 pm. Those dropped 2" of rain. Yesterday's monsoon dropped another 2.75". So pretty close to 5" in 5 days. The ground is not coping well and the result is some fairly substational water in the finished part of the basement and me ripping up the carpet and underpad. Nothing cool about that........... but yesterday was rather remarkable. It may be the closest I get to a tropical storm. Incredibly muggy and the rain was wind driven and torrential and lasted for a good 5-6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Speaking of the Great Lakes, remember the gloom and doom about the extremely low lake levels? I just read this on Bill Steffen's blog: "The water level of Lake Superior is up 1″ in the last month (at a time when the lake often loses water) and is now up 8″ in the past year. Superior is now 7″ higher than the long-term average water level. The water level of Lake Michigan/Huron (one lake for lake level purposes) is up another inch in the last week and (drum roll) the water level is now one inch ABOVE the average September lake level! Get this…Lake Michigan/Huron is now 19 inches higher than it was one year ago, an unprecedented 12-month increase! That’s a gain of 7.41 trillion gallons of water in just 12 months. Lake Erie is 6″ higher than it was one year ago and 6″ above the average water level. Lake Ontario is unchanged in the last year and 3″ above the average water level. Lake St Clair is up 11″ year-to-year and is 7″ above the September average level." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The temp has been in the 50s all day since 4am, but thanks to the timing of the frontal passage, the high at midnight was 74F. Nevertheless, the fall nip in the air today, along with the dark stratus, gave me a mad case of Fall Fever! I have noticed tons of trees starting to get some color too. Here are some pics I took over the weekend in Mackinac. First pic is the storm I got caught in on the way up just north of Saginaw (though not near the severe outbreak Detroit would see hours later), the rest of from the sunny weekend by the bridge.

wisconsinwx Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have to say, this brief cold snap is quite impressive! Decent chance we set back to back record low maxes, and today it may be by 5F. What a stark contrast from touching 80F yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Solid overcast all day. It has been quite awhile since we have had a day like that in these parts. It just looked like winter outside all day. Dull solid grey clouds and trash blowing around in the breeze. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Today was more like early November...when normal highs in the LAF are in the mid/upper 50's. End to end solid overcast, as well, certainly helped set the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Great pictures Snow Freak! Hanging steady around 49°.

cyclone77 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Parts of Iowa are probably gonna be stuck in the 40s much of the day with that shield of stratiform rains moving through. 45 here early this morning, which is the new low for the season.
