winterwx21 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 4 hours ago, Brian5671 said: that worked out well last year Yeah it definitely wasn't one of those winters with lots of days in the 50s. Average to slightly below average temps and frequent light snowfalls with a good amount of snowcover days. At least it felt and seemed like winter even though we missed the big snowstorms. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago 15 hours ago, jm1220 said: I don’t see why we can’t reach 100 for many of us if we get another stretch of WNW downslope heat. Especially since like you said we’re not getting much rain over the next 5-7 days. Topsoil dries out very quick this time of the year as we can see with the browning lawns. The story of this summer and much of the last decade has been the models underestimating the WAR or SE Ridge beyond 5 days. So this has been a repeating model forecast error. Around August 1st the forecast for August 11-18 had a modest warm up into the 90s. Definately a rebound from the less warm pattern this week. But now much of the guidance brings back 100° potential again. So you can see this big shift in the models in just 5 days of runs. New run August 11-18 Old run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flow comes around and expanding heat by Monday which should get the areas back into a widespread 90s for and through Thu or Friday, perhaps some strong heat Tue/Wed (95+). Beyond there outside a day or two near / slightly below normal its an overall warm- hot / humid and turning wetter. With tropics systems activity looking to stay persistent. 8/6 - 8/7: Clouds - smoky front 8/8 - 8/10 : Great stretch - near normal - sunny - dry - Amazing summer time weather 8/11 - Beyond : Warm - Hot / Humid turning wetter overall - Heat 8/11 - 8/14 (strong heat possible 95+ Tue 8/12 /Wed 8/13) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candles were necessary for light at noontime. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1890 - Thunderstorms left four inches of hail covering the ground in Adair County and Union County in Iowa. The hail drifted into six foot mounds, and in some places remained on the ground for twenty- six days. (The Weather Channel) 1905: Princeton, IN received 10.50 inches of rain, which established a 24-hour maximum precipitation record for the Hoosier State. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1918 - Unusually hot weather began to overspread the Atlantic Coast States, from the Carolinas to southern New England. The temp- erature soared to an all-time record high of 106 degrees at Washington D.C., and Cumberland and Keedysville hit 109 degrees to establish a state record for Maryland. Temperatures were above normal east of the Rockies that month, with readings much above normal in the Lower Missouri Valley. Omaha NE reached 110 degrees. (David Ludlum) On this date the highest ever maximum temperature of 107 °F was recorded in Richmond, VA. (Ref. Richmond Weather Records) 1947: The city, Sault Ste.

History) 1977: Severe thunderstorms produced nearly 20 tornadoes in Sangamon and Christian Counties in central Illinois. Many of these only affected open fields. However, one tornado did cause extensive damage near and east of Chatham. One tornado just south of Lake Springfield was unusual in that it had a clockwise rotation, in contrast to the usual counter-clockwise rotation found in tornadoes. The thunderstorms that produced these tornadoes caused a large swath of destruction from strong winds extending from southwestern Morgan County east to far southwestern Macon County. (Ref. Wilson Wx.

A midday thunderstorm deluged Birmingham AL with nearly six inches of rain in one hour. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Severe thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in Pennsylvania and New York State. A cold front crossing the northwestern U.S. produced wind gusts to 66 mph at Livingston MT.

(Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1993: Virginia experienced its worst tornado outbreak ever as 18 tornadoes ripped through the state in 5 hours. The most devastating tornado caused severe damage in the historic part of Petersburg. The storm then moved on to Pocahontas Island and into Colonial Heights. There, the storm ripped apart a WalMart store, killing three people and injuring nearly 200. The F4 twister was the first known violent tornado in Virginia history. It killed a total of 4 people and injured 246 along its 12-mile path. Total damages were near $50 million. 2001: Tropical Storm Barry moved inland on the Gulf Coast near Fort Walton Beach, FL around midnight with top winds of 60 mph. The storm caused $30 million in damage. Heavy rains spread northwestward across Alabama with up to three inches reported in the Birmingham area. No precipitation fell at Billings, MT on this date, the first of an August record 22 consecutive days without even a trace of rain. Only 0.01 inches fell during the month, their record driest August.

If smoke filled skies doesn’t do it, I am not sure what will. But even if we stopped using fossil fuels tomorrow, this problem wouldn't go away in our lifetime. I'm all for stopping them, but we also need geoengineering. I see more and more politicians are starting to hold Canada accountable and telling them they have to do something about those forests. It's one thing to be polluted by our own smoke, it's another thing entirely to have a foreign nation do it. Hold them accountable and punish them if they don't deal with it and fix the problem (even if that means chopping down a bunch of trees.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The westerly flow blows the smoke back into Canada but brings back the swampy humidity. So we have a choice between waves of smoke during the drier conditions or 75+ dews.

I'm all for stopping them, but we also need geoengineering. I see more and more politicians are starting to hold Canada accountable and telling them they have to do something about those forests. It's one thing to be polluted by our own smoke, it's another thing entirely to have a foreign nation do it. Hold them accountable and punish them if they don't deal with it and fix the problem (even if that means chopping down a bunch of trees.) A handful of U.S. representatives did so, but they are deflecting from their own policy responsibility. Tom Tiffany and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin and Michelle Fischbach, Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber and Tom Emmer of Minnesota signed a letter to Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. complaining about Canada's wildfire smoke. All but Stauber reject the reality of climate change. Stauber claims to accept it but to want a technology-based solution rather than fossil fuel phaseout, but even that position isn't credible. He voted in favor of this year's reconciliation bill that guts the technology-based climate solutions from the Inflation Reduction Act. They are posturing. Finally, regarding geoengineering with its attendant risks (e.g., impact on India's monsoon season) and limitations (does nothing to stop ocean acidification), if the world's nations cannot agree on a binding straightforward solution to a basic physics problem behind the causes of climate change, it's highly unlikely that they would agree to a more complex agreement on geoengineering that would set food-sharing provisions e.g., if India's monsoon fails, other set binding approaches for addressing other major contingencies that could arise. Moreover, the caliber of the world's leaders doesn't compare to those of the 1980s or 1990s when the acid rain and ozone issues were addressed and the international processes e.g., COP conferences, are corrupted by allowing major polluters full standing to shape the outcomes.

Don I'm interested only in solutions that have a possibility of working. The USA going carbon neutral TOMORROW won't solve this problem. The USA can geoengineer the solution on its own. Why do we need their permission? Does China ask us for permission to pollute the atmosphere? Did they ask permission to build roughly 250 coal plants over the last 10 years? Who's to say the aerosols caused the monsoon to fail? Why can't it be greenhouse gas induced climate change that did it? Nothing will get solved as long as 90% of the problem lies outside the USA's borders. If they can pollute the atmosphere freely, then we can inject aerosols into it if we want to as well.
