cyclone77 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Nice thunderheads billowed up all over the sky earlier. Each updraft had a blocky lowering beneath. You could tell the atmosphere had some mojo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hoping to get rocked with the incoming MCS. Surviving well so far. The instability is on the wane going east, but there's decent shear and the lake isn't all that cold anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was what June and July were like here. The switch finally flipped at the beginning of this month. Grass is spring-green again, but there's still evidence of stress to some of the younger trees.

Chicago Storm Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It took until the last few days of the month and it’s lower end, but finally a shot to rival my call.Brushed by today, but shall see how tomorrow trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary67 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Making up for drought in extreme N.IL from last summer. Keep getting decent rains. About 2.5" here this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Up to just 5.5 inches for the month of August now. Could have used some of this rain in June and July. Evidence of the early summer drought is harder to find at this point. Some trees are have patches of yellow/brown leaves. More splotchiness with a lot of weed and crab grass in my yard as I hate watering. I water my baby trees and flowering plants, but screw the grass if it doesn't rain.

The Jul/Aug departures in particular are about as ho-hum as it gets.As a few others have said, the heatwaves and increasing drought in May and June had you thinking a hot summer was on the way. But the persistent GOA/Pac NW and Hudson/Greenland troughing combo that developed in June really snuffed that hot summer idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm up to 107 mm of rain for the month, likely in the top-tier but since my records are incomplete I'm in the dark. The pattern of getting moderate rains and then sunny days spaced ideally maximizes crop growth. I can't recall an August that was this perfect for growing. Morning had a stray isolated shower pass over me then another at noon, followed by partly sunny and very humid. I missed the main MCS that rolled through MI/ON in the evening to the south.

bowtie` Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 After what seems like a month of only a tenth here and there, so far totaling 2.21" in the tippy bucket this morning. Some impressive rain last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 August here in Two Harbors has temps/precip below avg at 63.9 (65.3), and 2.72" (3.48"). Precip is right about avg for the year now at 21.89" (21.42"). Summer was on the cooler side with 60.8 (62.1), and drier with 9.36" (11.76"). With the Lake being so much cooler this year, it had a big effect on temps here, and the weather pattern really helped it stay that way through the summer with so many cooler, drier nights. In looking at the data, we really didn't see a steady stream of warmer nights until mid August. The lower humidity allows for more cooling at night.

luckyweather Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 August was an idyllic month in the Rockford region. About as close to a paradise as I can imagine. The most comfortable temps, abundant sunshine, abundant rains, a lush landscape. Even miraculously the mosquitos stayed at bay. It was a great month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more days with lower dew points allowing cooler nights. It seemed like we were never going to have summer dew points below 60 again after the last few years.
