A-L-E-K Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Midnight high of 68º at LAF today (16º below average). Felt and looked somewhat Fall-ish. Looks like the extended is going to turn warm/hot. First 90º temp of the year next week for LAF and IND...good bet I think. i'll ride the summer trends and go with a brief warmup (just shy of 90) followed by storms and a return to the 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I worry about Hoosier. A summer without a real heat wave is not good for his psyche. But, you may be right and it might just be a glancing blow. Been the theme of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 i'll ride the summer trends and go with a brief warmup (just shy of 90) followed by storms and a return to the 70s I agree, heck right now MKE's point only has one high in the 80s, and it is exactly 80. LAF will have an uphill climb to hit 90F I think the rest of the summer, unless the remainder of August becomes really dry and we get a heat wave at the end of the month/beginning of September.

TimChgo9 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 We may touch 90 here next Monday according to Skilling, although, some other forecasts are showing mid 80's for the Sat-Mon time frame. Looks like a stormy start and then through midweek for next week. Just in time for the kids to start school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Not a cloud in the sky, a stiff breeze, and very low humidity. It does not get better in August. Some chilly nights on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The last couple runs of the ECMWF sure look interesting in the long range. It shows a nice ridge moving in from the southeast and maybe even some severe potential west of here. At the very least, it's something different because things have been rather boring around here.

GFS has also hinted at this as well. Anything but training storms would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 First day of truly horrible Ragweed induced nasal symptoms... Always sucks when its beautiful outside, but i have to stay inside. Up to 84F and the AC is back on...only dropped to around 60F this morning....dew points are low, so that helps. Almost a perfect summer, minus all the rain in June.

Powerball Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Not a cloud in the sky, a stiff breeze, and very low humidity. It does not get better in August. Some chilly nights on the way. It kind of surprised me that we didn't have any stratocumulus to deal with (for most of the state in fact), despite the CAA and all of the low level moisture... I was in utter shock seeing the clear blue skies for miles this morning around sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The weather over the past month has been about as nice as it could possibly be from mid July to mid August. However, we really need some rain. I've had about a half inch over the last month. This weekend was looking pretty good for rain, but now the models have shifted south of the area yet again.

Gilbertfly Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Quality exterior painting weather the last 2 weeks. Painted all my trim and everything at my folks place...hardly broke a sweat and low DPs helped everything dry fast...after last winter and what i expect this winter (same as last season)...getting a few coats and recaulking everything seemed to be the best way to take advantage of this perfect weather. Also made for nice evenings of bon fuegoes and brews after spending each day with a paint brush attached to my hand. Grass staying green for the landscape company too...all good in the hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 54 in point for tonight. Rain chances tomorrow night through Sun night here. Electric bills considerably lower this summer compared to the past few. Pretty nice. Makes up some for the high gas bills last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
