Powerball Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hmm, maybe some debris clouds in the morning? No dice (finally)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball 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. Good for that area. I was actually enjoying the sunshine, something that has been in short supply over the past week. No sense in being socked in convective debris everywhere if the activity is isolated.

weatherbo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 a generous 1.2" of rain this morning with a stratus deck to fill in the remainder of the day. no 80's in the forecast anymore. As a matter of fact, 80's may well be done up this way possibly....could always be the rogue 80 before a front but fall should set in rather quick in the north woods.

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The front just went through La Crosse, judging by the change in wind direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 The front just went through La Crosse, judging by the change in wind direction. That sounds like it's in about the right position/on time. 84° here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hot here, but the clouds are helping...sun still poking through... i woke up and went outside first thing this morning and man...that humidity was just nasty. Dews around 74F... ugh. Seeing a ton of ladybugs around the yard right now...also seeing a lot of soldier beetles and stinkbugs. Picked our pumpkins already (13 of them)... Still a lot of green tomatoes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It seems plausible that the line of storms in Northern Michigan could come through here this afternoon in the form of strong/severe t'storms. It'll be something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't think it ever rains here again. Allergies are horrible today...the last few they've been really good..weird how it goes up and down... No precip here, so its not that. Maybe its the wind change (out of the NW now).

daddylonglegs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Question for all: Does anyone on here not have AC or know someone that doesn't have AC? How do they do it?! I would move into a hotel if I didn't have AC or sleep in my car with the engine running. I really am a %ussy when it comes to heat/humidity!

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 DLL, in response to your first comment I think it is the increased wind with the frontal passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lots of stations in northern IL with mid-upper 70 dews. FEP 78 DKB 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 88° imby now. 72 dew Thinking about 91° today. Probably start getting some clouds mid afternoon. DLL - Yeah I know one person. She's older, but thinks that 80° is more like 70°. (In the winter the house is like 75°) Lives within blocks of the lake, so there's quite a few days with free AC in the summer. I know she has fans and so forth to keep cool, plus there is large trees that shade the house all day. Even if I lived on the lakefront and it never got above 90°, I would need the AC to take out the humidity in the air! FYI: I grew up with AC. It helps the allergy situation, although not entirely during ragweed season. Pollen still gets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 BTW, Powerball, would you be interested in trading four of your days in the upper 80s for what is likely to now be four days of exactly 90F? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Question for all: Does anyone on here not have AC or know someone that doesn't have AC? How do they do it?! I would move into a hotel if I didn't have AC or sleep in my car with the engine running. I really am a %ussy when it comes to heat/humidity! I grew up without AC and only have had it for the last 8 or so years. Just one of those things where you are used to it. Keep the house closed during the day and use fans to get the hot air out at night. Only can remember a few times where it was unbearable, 1995 being the worst I can remember because it didnt cool off at night, but I was young so easier to deal with. I still only set my AC at 78.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 CR is 95 already @ 1pm, 5 degrees ahead of Wednesday's pace. Upper 90s looks like a good bet later. Des Moines is 98 so they could hit 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the heat index's are that much different from west to east. Although the dewpoints are higher over the agricultural lands more so. Not long enough of a period of time for the heat index to exceed 100°? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 DSM finally did it...Up to 101. First 100+ in our sub-forum goes to HAE (Hannibal, MO)... 100 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
