Will be interesting to see whether Dayton accumulates another 90 degree day today. 5-minute observations show a number of 90F readings, but, due to rounding issues, that does not guarantee a high of 90F.

Chicago Storm Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Usually I'm not big on the long range thoughts as much during the summer, mostly cause I'm out actually enjoying things. However... I did want to mention that it is likely that this active seasonable/trough/NW flow type pattern will stay locked in around the Midwest/Great Lakes for the next week or so. This is partially the product of a generally -NAO/+PNA regime in place on the larger scale. Looks like the next push of hotter temps/higher humidity will be centered around the Aug 19-24th period or so, as the -NAO relaxes and the PNA flips fairly negative. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local schools go back 8/22, and the wife returns to the classroom so this makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I'm really liking the model trend for late in the month. For weeks, the op GFS has been mostly bone dry across Iowa and surrounding areas, and it has been correct. Recent runs, however, have become much wetter across the region, beyond week one, with 2-3" in spots. The GEFS and EPS mean continue to gradually moisten up, region-wide, as well. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS is still solid, but the Euro has reversed the positive trend and is going backward. The Euro is now trying to cut off a big low over the southeast US and also the Rockies/plains, with a blocking ridge forming over the lakes that does not allow much moisture to get into our region through day ten. It's giving me a flashback to our awful spring pattern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted Monday at 08:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:48 PM It was fun this summer watching the heat just hit a wall most of the time before making its way to the eastern Lakes. Crazy to see the disparity between Chicago and here. # of 90F days in 2023 Milwaukee- 10 (max 101) Chicago- 21 (max 100) Minneapolis- 32 (max 98) Detroit- 2 (max 90) Flint- 2 (max 91) Cleveland- 2 (max 91) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of similarities to 2009 pattern-wise, with most of the heat centered over LA, TX, New Mexico and Arizona. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Climo The midwest climate of hot summers and cold winters is fairly unique on a global scale, a true definition of 4 seasons...and one thing that's sometimes easy to forget here in MI is despite our winter cold and summer heat, the Lakes are always buffering the extremes (though this summers constant buffer seemed a bit more anomalous). It's crazy some of the annual extremes out in MSP and especially the plains. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bismarck ND and the plains are way more extreme, they can be 100+ for a week and -10 for a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted yesterday at 02:13 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:13 AM My temp sensor runs a little high but I have recorded 10 days of 90 or higher this year. Factoring in the offset I am probably closer to 6 or 7 days at or above 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
