Talk about a difference. Shows just how different the up is from everyone else climatically.

Uhh lets not have that happen FV3.

I really hope I don't wake up tomorrow to 2008 v2 with the Crawfish.

Looks like for at least the first week it's going to be more rain around here. That's great because we totally need more rain around here (/s)

Well this month has been one wet month around here. I have recorded 13" inches of rain this month with most of it coming in the last 2 weeks. This is by far the wettest month i've recorded so far. I have feeling at least where I am it might be the wettest August ever. All the rivers are at least bankfull stage with some going higher than 2008. The Kickapoo, Upper Baraboo,and the Yahara seem to be the wort affected so far. Around here the Crawfish is at it's stage since 2008. And the rain looks like it's going to keep coming for at least the next week. We really need to dry out in Southern Wisconsin.

Here in the eastern parts of the metro we did not get hit nearly as bad. I got about 4" here. I haven't checked out the Crawfish today,but I'm assuming that it's not that high as there was less rain to the north. I haven't heard too much about any impacts in Sun Prairie or The East Side so i am assuming that they came thorugh realtivley unscathed. A big concern of mine right now is the level of Lake Mendota. It has already gotten past the record set in 1993 and is still rising. I've seen a couple of photos of flooding of backyards on the lake. That is quite rare for that to happen.

Don't you guys know we cant start posting on this stuff until its the middle of january when all of us are in single digits?

Looks like this thread is as hot as it is outside! I'll see my self out Edit: also woo over 100 posts!

LOL.

Now were up to 95/80/117 here. This is most likely the hottest heat index my station has ever recorded.

Currently 93/79/114 here. We just tagged 80 degree dews a couple minutes ago.

Pretty nice squall heading through western illinois right now

91 with a dew of 78 outside rn. Blecch.

Of course there'll be squalls now. I'm going up north on vacation for a week.

MKX just came out with an article about the 10th anniversary of the 2008 floods.Here is the link https://www.weather.gov/mkx/LakeDeltonBreach. These floods are most famous for the breaching of the Lake Delton dam in the Dells. Some areas in the northern part of Columbia County got over 14" of rain with the maximum amount being 15.35" just south of Portage. I remember the entire marsh from Lowell to I-94 being a giant lake. This flood also nearly took out the dam in Fall River, the town north of me. This event is what got me interested in Weather. Edit: Here's the map of the rain totals for the week.
