That's crazy. Look at Boston and yet they have had a hotter July than us. But this is their 2nd day like this this month. They obviously have been on more of a roller coaster than us.

Dont mean to kick a hornet's nest, but this guy has been doing stupid stuff for the past few months; like reckless driving and getting himself banned off of spotternetwork(among other things too). Has gained quite the poor reputation because of it. Although he is stupid, when I saw this, saying I wasn't surprised would be a lie. I wonder what was he hoping to accomplish??

That was two years before I bought this house, so I was in an apartment without A/C. I was probably hiding out in the red SUV back then. It had a real decent A/C in it.

Hoosier Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not this region but some impressive heat in the Pac NW. Portland should have a couple days well into the 100s and Seattle has a shot to crack 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I remember that day of July 31, 1999 posted by Hoosier. I was waiting on the clouds and thunderstorms with a cold front in Toledo. It was about a temp of 95 and a dew of 75. Toledo had high 95, low 75. July 1999 was a drought for central OH climate division, as per the Palmer Drought Index (archived map, PDI value -3.00 to -3.99) The Ohio Valley was some 3.5 deg F above average for July 1999. Columbus-CMH at a whopping 5.0 deg F above average for July 1999. That's quite unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle at SEATAC is forecast to be 100, which is 3 below their record. Also the Fraser Valley area of BC near where Andyhb is will potentially be above 100 as well. Not quite to Vancouver though.

Hoosier Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Looks like forecast temps were cut back some in the NW, especially around Seattle. Offices mentioning smoke as a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming average precip doesn't vary a ton between southeast IA and northeast IA, so you are talking about actual amount differences of 40"+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one brief fleeting moment I actually considered turning on the heat in my office today. I've never minded unusual warmth in cold season, but unusual cold in warm season sucks for some reason. Maybe it's anecdotal but it always seems like cool summers lead to warm autumns. If that's the case this year than I'll gladly put up with days like today. Nothing better than 60's and sunshine in November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 August and September are the two months where the sky always begins to look like this. I have assumed for a number of years that the natural pattern combined with prime forest fire season, is the cause of it. Even as a kid, the late August/September sky always has a tinge to it.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 This is shaping up to be quite a dry, boring month. We've received only 0.20" of rain through the first third(lawns are browning again), and the next ten days look just as dead. The models even have the tropics going quiet again.

Including a 4 tornado outbreak in our region. The highlight being an EF2 that went over Hamburg/OP which has over 100k people total. Looks like tropical season is going to get fired up soon, cannot wait! http://www.weather.gov/buf/July20Tornadoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Michigan gets much better severe than WNY due to Lake Erie killing most convection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
