bowtie` Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I had hoped to get at least 0.75" with today's rain just to help the health of the grass but 0.17" was all that I got. Maybe next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I associate the Dog Days with the hottest month of the year, which would be July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to me it's always August. It's still very warm and humid stale air. Not until the end of August do you start to notice the subtle changes that the season is about to change.

cyclone77 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Not in our sub but impressive heat up in the Dakotas. Temps pushing 110 in western North Dakota. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 44 this morning and a pleasant 73 this afternoon. Ready for a week in the low to mid 80's to give the garden the final push it needs the next few weeks before the sun angle begins to fall behind the hill and trees during the late afternoon hours. Lost 2 minutes 18 seconds of sun today and around 20 minutes on the sunset since late June. A few mid 30's reported this morning with 34 being the coolest over in Baraga County and 35 the coolest here in Marquette County. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Meant to post yesterday. July 24th was the 90th anniversary of the hottest temp on record for both Detroit and Chicago. Both places hit 105° on July 24, 1934. Regarding dog days. I always considered the dog days the hottest two weeks of the year and the dead of winter the coldest two weeks.

WestMichigan Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 At -2.0°F for the month it looks like GRR is headed for a below normal July. The end of the month will eat into that a little but I don't see the negative departures being completely erased. Not bad when earlier this summer the general thought was a hot summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 High of 81 yesterday, the first prolonged heatwave of the summer begins today for the Twin Cities. We look to have a week+ stretch of 85-90 degree weather and ~70 dews. July is running -1.6 below average so far. That deficient will be eaten away these last several days of the month.

Brian D Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 As of 10 am, skies are cloudy with temps in the low 70's, and dews as well. Very muggy. Sun should pop out later, and temps rise into the mid-upper 80's. Dews should drop some, but it's going to be a stifling day. Same for tomorrow, but then stms enter the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 88/70 currently. Swamp weather outside. Should bag our 2nd 90 of the year soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Temps peaked around 88-90 with low-mid 70 dews around here. Sweating to the oldies day lol. Normal stuff for S sub tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Another round of 80 degree dews on the way for Wednesday and Thursday it appears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 High of 91 yesterday. Warmest temp of the year. Will make another run at 90 today, dews are running 65-67 today versus 68-70 yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Another warm, muggy day on tap, but today will start the stm/svr stm potential thru tomorrow. 1-3" forecast for my area. Currently only have 1.88" in the bucket for the month. 4.05" is the avg. Lack of substantial rains recently has been a good thing, tho, as we had too much in June, and early July in NE MN. Hydro system has mellowed, so any heavier rains should not be a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Bagged our 3rd 90 of the year with a brief high of 90 today. Storms are doing a good job of dodging mby so far this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 0.53" with the noon downpour today. Could use a little bit more. Had a few sprinkles around sunset that did not budge the tippy bucket though. Maybe tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Today looks to be the crappiest of the active week. With the cloud cover around and upcoming MCS, get ready to be stuck in the 70s for an early Fall-like look the entire day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I finished last night with 1.01". It was heavier just south of me where the storms trained. My July total is up to 7.97", which makes this my wettest July since I began keeping records in 2007. This is just one of those months in which we are maxing out every event. We aren't done, either. There may be more MCS activity Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 We had the perfect summer weekend here with a very rare instance of blue skies with almost no clouds at all Sat/Sun!! On Sat there wasn't any clouds for over 100km around me on Satellite - can't say that happens much around here. Sat evening was among the best of all of 2024 with low wind, quiet, just the right amount of green. More smoke the last few weeks and increasing. About a week ago I finally got a t-storm but it was a dry one. I had 3mm during the early evening with some cracks but then at 10pm Tues there was a spicy cell that side-swiped me with good lightning and thunder. No precip at all from it.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Most of the storms missed us, only ended up with 0.36” overnight. Another hot week on tap with temps running 85-90 daily. Hopefully we can get in on some MCS action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
