beavis1729 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Topped out at 90 at ORD and 93 here today...both of which were the highs for each location yesterday too. RFD hit 96 for the 2nd day in a row, which makes it the first back-to-back days to feature a high temp of 95+ in Sept since 14-15th/1939 (101/102). I thought ORD only hit 88 yesterday. So, today's 90 was the 46th 90+ day of 2012 at ORD...one away from the record of 47 in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Not sure what I was thinking of...maybe getting ahead of myself for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Cyclone- Wow...that is a lot of days above 90F... I think I'm at 34 days AOA 90F and I think that was horrible. If this is the new "normal" i'm moving to Duluth Today sucked other then the much needed rainfall (just over 2 inches since Aug 1st)... Days are getting awfully short. I have had to do a lot of nite biking because I'm not going early enough. Still would love to see a hard Sept freeze. Yeah pretty impressive. I think officially at MLI they're at 45-46, but they run anomalously cooler some days when other surrounding sites are several degrees warmer. St. Louis looks very impressive to me. Over 60 days over 90, and 21 days above 100. That's just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 PWATS were high (~2.00") and the flow aloft is weak, so in localized thunderstorms I thought there'd be a good chance of some deluges. But the morphing of the thunderstorms into a big shield of widespread heavy rain seemed to come out of nowhere. If only this were a winter storm Point Petre in Prince Edward County is at 98.2mm/3.67" according to EC with Kingston at 91mm/3.58" close by. Phenomenal totals, especially if 5mm or less was forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenomenal totals, especially if 5mm or less was forecast. Markham was king though. 4.13" in what, 8 hours? Considering that's pretty close to the headwaters of the Don River, I was surprised there wasn't more serious flooding downstream in Toronto. I guess we can thank the dryness of the last 3 weeks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Good line of storms moved through around 3am. Wind gusts were in the 35-40 range. Picked up 0.61" of needed rain, although I was expecting to see more in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Picked up .18 with the first round (just on the northern edge of the good stuff) and .17 with the stuff overnite... Not enough, but we'll take it... Looks like some very nice weather coming up, but the heat looks to return a week from now. Good Sept cool shot a few years back...

daddylonglegs Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Trapper- Yeah...Fri and Sat should stay in the 60Fs according to the NWS here... better then nothing... I'd love 2 or 3 weeks of straight 60Fs... Any temp in the 60Fs is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I love how I follow the weather compulsively every day... Yet I still can't remember to bring an umbrella with me when it's supposed to rain. Soaked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I meant to say was it seems like the top of the western ridge is getting continually knocked down by clipper systems. low 80s for me followed by quick cold fronts back down to low 70s... hope it's right. LOL. I hope the end of the 12z GFS run is right. Can you say POSITIVE PNA/NEGATIVE NAO??? I know it's fantasy but man would I love that to pan out and hold for about... oh... 3 months.

trapperman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 First GOA low of the fall(remember them from last year, probably don't want to). Really going to clean out everything. NCEP and ESRL PNA ensembles are in major disagreement. I'll take the right hand column for 500 please, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'll take the right hand column for 500 please, Alex. We have had a presistent -NAO for most of the Summer. It has gotten us nowhere. The NAO should become relievent as we head into late Oct - Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 In any event, you guys can have all of the cool weather you want now. I really just wanted to log the hottest Spring AND Summer on record (both records should be there for a long time) before we officially went into the negative departures.

nwohweather Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Looking forward to upper 60s this weekend. I for one am sick of having the AC on with high temps in the upper 80s. It's September for petes sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 In any event, you guys can have all of the cool weather you want now. I really just wanted to log the hottest Spring AND Summer on record (both records should be there for a long time) before we officially went into the negative departures. It's the warmest first eight months of the year at all three first-order climate sites in Southeast Michigan. NWS DTX has a convenient site here with monthly temperature and precipitation data for Detroit, since 1870, for Flint, since 1893, and for Saginaw, since 1900. The five warmest January 1-Aug. 31 periods at each of the sites are as follows. Detroit 2012 56.6 1998 55.1 1921 54.9 1991 54.5 2010 54.4 Flint 2012 54.4 1933 53.4 1921 53.4 1998 52.5 1991 51.8 Saginaw 2012 54.0 1998 53.2 1921 53.0 2010 52.0 1933 52.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
