Powerball Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Gotta love it when highs in the mid-80s is considered a "cool down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'll be at Silver Lake, MI this coming week... So glad that I'll miss all the upper 80's there. The wind direction should allow lake Michigan to cool us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 One of the best days we've had here in a long time. Temps near 80, dews only around 60, and deep blue skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind direction should allow lake Michigan to cool us down. It should still be pretty warm up there and Lake Michigan is running above normal so the effects will be negligible.

IWXwx Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Entering the quietest time of year for the region for the next 8 weeks or so. Hoping for the rogue trough as Angry says for a little action. Otherwise, I'm resigned to watching how far drought conditions creep west toward mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Interesting streak developing at CLE, today is the 22nd consecutive day with a high temp above normal. The streak should continue through next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At DTW, all but one of the past 22 days have featured high temps that were above normal, but today will be the 22nd day without a below average daily temp and the 22nd consecutive day with 80*F+ highs (which doesn't look to end any time soon).

Remember the days when hurricanes hit the US and sometimes the remnants would come up this way? Could always hope that happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the record streak there for consecutive 80+ days? Wasn't that just set back in 2012? CLE is also on day 22 of their 80+ streak, with no end in sight. Even more impressive is that it's actually an 83+ streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Detroit Metro had 80+ for 23 days in a row in 2012 (June 26-30, July 1-18). I don't know what the record is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoof Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 This is the driest I have seen my yard in many years, hit stage1 moderate drought on the us drought monitor recently, almost all the grass in my yard is going dormant now (yay no mowing).... the corn / bean crops in the rural fields here have been looking so sad and wilted for a couple months now, it has to be killing crop yields. At least the low pressure coming around on friday gives a chance at some decent rains, really need a lot here. I'm glad I didn't bother to grow my garden this year after my young plants got nuked by some fungal disease in late may / early june... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Looks like another shot of temps around 90 Tue-Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 With any luck we could have a streak of 4 days above 90 coming up at Detroit, which would push the seasonal total to a pretty impressive 21 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 MLI has had 15 days AOA 90 so far this year. Max temp has been 96. (Peak HI reached 113 per hourly obs. Possibly sneaked higher in between obs but no way of knowing.) Here we've had 12 days AOA 90, with a max temp of 95. (Peak HI has reached 117).

cyclone77 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just spent a good hour reading the Nov 20-21st storm threads from last winter. I forgot how insane that fronto band was up in far northern/northeastern IL. Kind of getting pumped for the upcoming winter already lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 couldn't get any worse than last winter IMBY, the lack of snow (including misses just miles north and south) combined with the complete lack of large dynamic lows made for a brutal winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just back from a vacation in New Orleans and just missed seeing the EF-0 tornado in Treme near the French quarter by hours as I left that morning to travel north to the Natchez Trace. My hotel view from the 22nd floor looked ne as the storm came sw and would have been a great vantage point. And I wasn't even chasing! Darn! Seems pleasantly cool here compared to upper 90's temps and upper 70's dews in NOLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 35ºC was forecast for Thursday (now its 34ºC a day before) which would be the hottest August air temperature I've experienced locally. The upcoming heat wave will be among the worst of the year and EC agrees. Man its going to be one horrible week for sleep for those without AC.

UMB WX Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Lake breeze has ruled this summer outside our couple hot spells that weren't remotely impressive but maybe one day. Every weekend has been perfect for the last month and a half. Just an A+ all around summer even with getting missed by rain time and time again during that span. Winter is going to rock.
