cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Looks like we'll finish August with our 1.42" of rain. Looking pretty dry for the next few weeks. The way this year is going we'll prob get drenched in the latter half of Sep, then have a dry Oct, etc. Overall it's been sort of a dry year. MLI is down over 9 inches for the year, and over 5 inches since June 1st. The heavy rains in July definitely helped, but we've sort of reverted back into the default dry pattern again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 DVN has been 80 or above for over 60 consecutive hours now. Dews are a little lower tonight, so good chance the streak ends in a few hours. Still extremely impressive. EDIT: DVN dipped to 79 at the 1am ob, so 61hrs will be the total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reached 88 today. That's it on the 90s. What's happening during next weeks looks to be the final nail in the coffin for the summer. Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 79.

Chinook Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Today was, thankfully, a very normal day with partial clouds. It topped off at 82 with a dew point of 64. Yesterday was almost entirely cloudy and in the upper 70's for the high. The sunset tonight has some pink cirrus clouds and some gray cumulus clouds that are kind of blocking me from seeing the sunset. Also note: Toledo CoCoRAHS reports got 3.09" to 3.85" over 48 hours this week. I was able to stay up to watch a lot of lightning on the second one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Today was the 4th day of overcast crap that I've been dreading to see make itself again. TWN forecast completely flopped showing partly cloudy, early this morning it was dark with thicc canopy. Got this blast of rain coming from the north at noon that also sucked. The last 4 days my forecast was completely wrong and its been awful. The sun came out at 5pm today so got something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we're lucky to see a day or two below 50F, but it used to dip into the 30s in August regularly. It's that dramatic of a change. We likely won't see 1982 conditions for two months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Anyways, I'm allowed to be upset about the loss of a natural climate. Regardless of whether the elimination of occasional late summer frosts and freezes were advantageous to agriculture. Just look at Bradford, Pennsylvania. Used to be one of the coldest spots in the country. August freezes in 1965, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1982, and 1986. None since 1986. It hasn't even been below 40F in the month of August since 2014, and the last time below 38F was in 2004. I mean look, it's barely dropped below 50F this month. This type of a change has to have a drastic impact on the local ecosystem. Just because it hasn't impacted the U.P. to the same degree yet, don't think you won't escape these changes. Bradford, Pennsylvania is in one of the most remote parts of the eastern U.S., surrounded by the Allegheny National Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
