Sent from my iPhone Yeah Milwaukee was right on it, it was that same MCV that kicked off those slow moving spinning showers/storms just east of Madison late this afternoon in the wake of the MCS to our south, correct? We really haven't had that much rain recently, compared to some other locations in the region, but the ground and soil are extremely moist, much of that owing to two straight days of pretty relentless fog.

wisconsinwx Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 1.25" recorded in the last six hours at MKE, and they appeared to be on the southern edge of one of the heavier bands, should easily have been 2" in the localized areas that got trained on.

Yup, with the fairly stagnant upper level flow above, it's pretty much meandering. Highest rainfall total I see is 1.75 in West Allis but pretty much an inch plus across all of central Milwaukee.

Hoosier Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 12z NAM doesn't inspire a ton of confidence in reaching 90 here tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 After several days of clouds impacting temps, today looks to stay sunny the whole day. Up to 82 atm, with 92 in the point for today. Point for tomorrow has us at 94. So far the hottest temp of the year has been the 92 on July 22, with only two 90 degree days up to this point- one in June, and one in July.

Very similar to the 2m output from the 12z NAM which suggests a high of 89 or 90. From what I could tell, the 00z ECMWF 2m temps would suggest something around 90 or 91. I'm just uneasy about this unless all guidance would comfortably suggest 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's gotten into MEX this summer. Some of it can be blamed on thunderstorms but some of it can't. You know what, it's conceivable that Chad has a 6-0 lead on the airport by the time this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Today is Cedar Rapids' best shot at 90 this summer, but even with full sun the high dewpoint(76) is likely making it tougher to heat up. At noon the official temp was 84. This week has the potential to be extremely wet around here, which would be nice give our paltry 0.48" August total so far. The GFS and Canadian models this morning show pretty widespread storm activity every single day. Even with continued bad luck we should be able to get a couple inches.

cyclone77 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Up to 90/76/102 here. MLI up to 90 as well now. Strange to see not a single cloud in the sky for what seems like the first time in forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Up to 89/79 in CR. Iowa City is 90/79. It's steamy and quite a constrast to the last two summers when our hottest days had dews in the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Cedar Rapids finally hit 90 for the first time this afternoon, the record latest first 90 by a few weeks. More shocking is that until today even Burlington had not yet hit 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 This year, it seems like a task many days to have full sunshine and hit 80*F... Josh fail. I was being very conservative in saying on Wednesday that wed see at least mid-80s two of the three weekend days and that DTX low 80s were way low. MEX guidance had upper 80s all 3 days. Actual DTW: Fri- 83 Sat- 80 Sun- 80 Getting warm weather is like pulling teeth this year (and Im not complaining). Barring the outside chance we can sneak a 90 in tomorrow or Tuesday, Im thinking you can stick a fork in 90 degree days for 2014 at DTW. We had a grand total of two...91F on June 17th and 94F on July 22nd. Both instances came with relatively low humidity (the heat index was lower than the actual temp) Least amount of 90-degree days at Detroit - since 1874 0 days – 1882 0 days – 1907 0 days – 1915 1 day – 1875 1 day – 1877 1 day – 1883 1 day – 1885 1 day – 1979 1 day – 2000 2 days – 1886 2 days – 1992 2 days – 2014? Put another way....since 1916 1 day - 1979 1 day - 2000 2 days - 1992 2 days - 2014? 90 degrees are not uncommon at all in September...but this year just doesnt feel like the year. Last year had 7, so after the oppressive trio of summers 2010-11-12, a combination of 2013-14 has yielded less 90F days than an average single year.

Spartman Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Same as yesterday, temperatures maxed out at 88. Expect this to be about the same high over the next few days. Dayton's likely done with 90s for this year, no matter how next month shapes up and given the legend that 1950, 1963, and 2009 all had in common.

cyclone77 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ended up with 93 today, which is the new max for the year. Peak dew/heat index was 79/109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hit 90F on the head...way too many clouds early to go anywhere. Took forever to clear out (which was fine by me) Dew point up to 76F now...temp still in the mid 80Fs... about a month late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
