Chicago Storm Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Topped out at 90 here yesterday. Hit 91 here today and 90 at ORD. 11th 90+ day of the year here, and the 8th at ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thought we were going to get 89'd there for a minute. Agreed, especially since there was some convective debris along the I-94 corridor around midday. It would be nice if we can get in on a t'storm this evening. I see downtown already got a pop up cell.

Chambana Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hit 91 here. Jeez seems like since 2011, every September has started off like this until a few days after Labor Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 our forecasted record breaking 7 day stretch of 80's only made it 3 days. rain and clouds kept the temp from hitting 70 so far today. .43" fell in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 88° yesterday and 89° today. Quite a few clouds and hazy today. 5 day temperatures dropped across the board - low to mid 80s now. Low of 72° this morning was the warmest low of the year I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Persistent mid-upper level clouds COC blocked 90+ prospects in this area today. Only made 87 here and at MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Like Cyclone, the convective blow off clouds limited the afternoon temperature rise and we only got to 85 here. The humidity was definitely noticeable though. I'm ready for some fall like days after Labor Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 8th 90F day of the year today at DTW. While 2015 will still finish below the normal of 12, this is the most we have had since 2012. These first few days of September are arguably the most "oppressive" days of a summer which has lacked extreme heat. Despite 8 days of 90F, they have all been 90F-92F.... 92F - 1 time 91F - 4 times 90F - 3 times With the hottest temp of this summer being 92F, only 15 times since records began in 1874 has Detroits hottest temp of the year been 91F or cooler. In the last 100 years, this has only happened 4 times. Several of those 90-91F days most of SE MI did stay in the upper 80s, and in fact today was only the 4th 90F of the year at DET, the hottest temp of the year there being 91F. DET was cooler every month this summer than DTW. My how times have changed. 90F+ days....DTW....DET 2015 ----------- 8 ------ 4 2014 ----------- 4 ------ 6 2013 ----------- 7 ------ 7 2012 ---------- 30 ---- 25 2011 ---------- 23 ---- 23 2010 ---------- 17 ---- 14 2009 ----------- 4 ------ 3 2008 ----------- 7 ------ 8 2007 ---------- 14 ---- 14 2006 ---------- 11 ---- 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Had to peel the shorts off this evening. September is the new July. Meanwhile, a slow moving, pulsing storm dumped for a couple of hours over the eastern part of Fort Wayne. Looks like it's finally deciding to move/dissipate.

michsnowfreak Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Meanwhile, back in 1953 the nation was broiling in a record-setting heatwave.

wxman1952 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Had a few surprise showers rumble through the area later this afternoon and early evening. They didn't call for any in yesterdays forecast. Looks like they could be more likely tomorrow in my area. The Humidity is back to mid summer humidity.

stormtrackertf Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Agreed, especially since there was some convective debris along the I-94 corridor around midday. It would be nice if we can get in on a t'storm this evening. I see downtown already got a pop up cell. Yeah, I actually was driving through downtown when that one cell popped up. It was really small, it basically only stretched from the central business district down to the Ambassador bridge. At my house you would never know anything even happened.

Chitown Storm Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 MPX talking about the possibility of heat advisories this weekend. Good thing I'm headed to Banff, Alberta on Sunday. 40s with a rain/snow mix there today. Bring it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 CFS has a warmer than average September for about the eastern half of the nation. Looking at the weeklies, it seems like a lot of the positive anomaly "damage" is done in this first week. Seems like a distinct possibility.

Geos Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Today ended up being the warmest day; as a whole, for the year with the low being way up at 72°. These Dog Days belong in July and August, not September imo! Edit: Few storms popping near the lake up this way tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianGuy Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice MCS feature moving across lower central MI this morning. This should impact imby in about 4 hours and (hopefully) cool things off for the evening. It's currently 82/74/89 and foggy. Muggy as #@^@.

Stebo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That was one intense storm I had to drive in coming to work. Tons of CG including one that hit the tall highway lights at 94 and the Lodge right as I passed by. Of course it missed the airport mostly but I am there are parts of the area that got over .50" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it missed the airport mostly but I am there are parts of the area that got over .50" of rain.I live about 2 miles northeast of DTW now and it was a lot more disorganized there, but we did get some brief torrential downpours. I haven't set up my rain gauge yet but it seemed like we were a quarter of an inch or less.Meanwhile, downtown where I am at the moment is getting a huge lightning show from the convection building right along the riverfront and on Belle Isle.
