MKE hit 100. First 100 in August since 1988. I think it’s latest 100 ever as well.

The current temperature at MKE is 98F. If it holds or increases in the next hour, it would be the highest 2 pm reading on record dating back to 1947 in the month of August. The current record is 98F, from August 16, 1988, and earlier dates. Not sure of the earlier date(s), but I believe August 1, 1988 is one.

MKE is 99 now.

Yeah, unless prolonged, temperature extremes (at either end of the spectrum) aren't really that remarkable for most people. That's why 1995 was one of my favorite summers. Hot but stormy for what seemed like weeks on end. That's why even though I was only 9, it still stands out in my memory.

September got cold quick with MKE hitting 32 in the third week of the month.

A bust with the storms last night. 
currently 62/62 with low clouds. Temp probably won’t move much today. Heat looks wicked to the south.

Only got down to 78 overnight. Today is our shot at hitting 100

 

IIRC the old benchmark was hitting 90 by 10 AM to be on pace for 100 

Thinking MKE has a shot at 102 today.

Let's see if MKE can hit 100 today.  Haven't done it in August since 1988.

@hardypalmguy I correct my statement. Now that cold drizzle has been going on for a couple hours it absolutely sucks lol

 cold and wet is always worse than hot and sweaty

12z GFS trying to lose the heat

Outlier right now.  Signal is still there, just shifted more toward plains with backdoorland for us.

I hope everyone has stocked up on baby powder for next week.  Record level heat incoming.

Did Minneapolis even hit 113 degrees in the year 1934 or 1936?

Big heat knocking on our door. I’ve been thinking the last half of august could really be steamy.

Can’t wait till it’s dark then I’ll go outside to smoke a joint and watch some nice nocturnal lightning 

better with cocaine

Were these ground hornets?  I have those asshats behind my garage in the weeds and I can't find where the nest is. 

Yeah looks like massive amounts of rain wrecks the instability.

3 ways you know it’s going to be a brutal day. Dew point is 70 in the am. Barely any wind. And to top it off good ole fashioned buzzards circling above me with pure sun shining down 

These late summer days with high dews, calm winds, fog in the morning and full sun later are simply the best.  I wish I could box this up and have it 365 days a year.

Going to get boned by a split. What a refreshing change of pace… 

MKE has more hours of smoke this year than TSRA.
