That neg anomaly just vanished in Wisconsin. All of the lower peninsula should stay negative for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Temps languished today due to thick clouds all morning. Was foggy early on. Still made 87, but the 90+ streak is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 My point says 94F and MKX acknowledges low to mid 90s throughout the forecast area, yet the 20C isotherm doesn't even touch Milwaukee. I'm calling BS. I think upper 80s will be the case, unless the GFS is dead wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 killer lake fog...simultaneously foggy and sunny The lower sun angle must be making it tough to burn off the lake fog.It's not like Lake Michigan is freezing cold. I always love how lake fog looks so much like shallow lake effect snow clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Unless there's debris cloud issues, 90's are a lock. Oh, and... I checked and the OP is by far the most aggressive with this and on its own. Not sure I buy an outlier, I'll show you the map I'm looking at in a moment. Notice the first one, the operational, is the furthest north and east with the isotherm. Also, with the amount of precip it shows from 18z-00z, I don't think we will reach our potential in terms of highs. The front appears to come through a bit earlier than on Wednesday, when there were absolutely no issues with clouds past 9am and the front took its sweet time getting there. Heck, MKE's point is 3F warmer than most of Chicagoland. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~fxg1/ENSPRSNE_12z/f36.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The GFS supports 90's for MKE, even MAV shows 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Looks like upper 90s here tomorrow as long as clouds stay away. May beat yesterday's mark. If things go perfectly 100 isn't completely out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I got 91° in my point n' click tomorrow. Can't wait for the humidity to leave! Hoping for some good storms tomorrow night though. No fog up this way, other than this morning. High 83° today. Month will end up below normal given the cooler Saturday forecast and cooler than forecasted lows the last few days.

Seems like more or less a similar situation to Tuesday, though a bit quicker frontal passage so we may get in on the action before the forcing decreases and the convection dissapates.

Lots of people were at the beaches and visibilities were well under 1/4 mile but yet skies were bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 DTW got hit by a freak issolated shower today, it popped up right over the area and dumped up to 1.5 inches per radar estimate on nearby areas. It was calm and clear everywhere else within a 500 miles radius. Stat padder. EDIT: Looks like Ontario had a couple showers too, less impressive though.

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Skilling saying 60-75% area t-storm coverage tomorrow night. And only 70s area wide on Saturday. What is the timing for you guys? I'd have to think early evening, about 6-8pm based on front timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM hires showing storm in to the MKE to MSN corridor between 5-6pm, and down here at about 7pm. Should still have some of the heat leftover from the day at that hour. Through 12am Saturday.

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 There is one pretty strong rogue cell that is affecting parts of NW Wisconsin. Might almost be something for DLL to keep an eye on, though I think it will pass just east of him. It's holding its own nicely though, and actually has a solid southward trajectory.

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hmm, maybe some debris clouds in the morning? That's what I'm hoping for. Funny to think Friday was originally supposed to be the coolest this week. I remember my point had 81F a few days ago for a high. Besides the heat dome drifting a tad more east than expected and a bit more of a SW flow, there isn't much difference. I'm going with 88F for a high tomorrow. If I bust, oh well.

We had a trace at the airport, and convection by nature isn't going to hit everyone. Also why is it stat padding, that makes zero sense even if we did have appreciable rain here. That would be like someone who wanted rain, called every dry day "stat padders". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We looked primed for 90's as warmer 925 and 850mb temps advect into the area and skies are mostly clear. Wouldn't surprise me if places like RAC and ENW hit 94 or 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Record for today at MLI is 98, which looks like it may be in jeopardy. Satellite looks pretty clear, so we're a go for maximum heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
