George BM Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM Friday, August 15, 2025 3:28PM EDT Okay. Here we go. Another record-breaking event. Thankfully this time this event will not result in us being thrown back into the stone age for weeks. This time we are looking at record breaking temperatures on the cold side w/ daytime highs well below our average lows for this time of year. A strong cold front moved through the region this morning bringing along a band of heavy gusty showers and embedded thunderstorms. Clear sunny skies have moved in across the region from the northwest on strong cold and dry air advection. As a result, although the sun is back out, temperatures have remained steady or even further fallen by a few degrees F into the upper 60s. Temps will fall more rapidly as we go into the evening hours with mid/upper 50s commonplace by sunset. Temps will plummet into the 40s overnight and bottom out in the lower 40s in the metros by dawn. The northwestern suburbs will likely be into the upper 30s challenging or breaking some all-time record lows for August. Meanwhile temps will fall below freezing in the mountains near the western edge of the forecast area where a Freeze Warning is in effect. With winds still elevated around 10-20 mph or so windchills will be in the mid/upper 30s in the metros and as low as 30F or even the upper 20s at times in the northwestern suburbs. Temperatures during the day on Saturday will only rebound to the upper 50s/ low 60s owing to continued cold-air advection. Those winds will die down Saturday night as the surface high settles in overhead. This will allow Sunday morning to feature the coldest temperatures since April with widespread monthly record lows. Temps will probably bottom out in the lower 40s again in the metros. But with decent radiational cooling conditions in place with the very dry airmass that will be in place, the suburbs may drop into the mid to perhaps low/mid 30s. Frost headlines will likely be needed for the northwestern suburbs on Sunday morning. Temps will rebound into the lower/mid 60s Sunday afternoon. During the week temps will rebound to closer to average with upper 70s/low 80s by midweek with a southerly flow to the east of a trough over the Ohio Valley potentially ushering in tropical trouble out of the south with Erin which some models and ensembles depicting frightening rain and wind scenarios which I’d rather not think about right now. Nope, I’m ending the discussion here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Sometimes I get the feeling Elias enjoys stock piling prospects and building an elite farm system more than building an elite Major League roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolute bullshit that he chose Jordyn Adams (who?) for a MLB call up rather than Beavers. Presumably just to preserve the 1/500 shot at Beavers winning RotY next year if he maintains rookie eligibility. Nevermind that every prospect has had a major 1-3 month learning curve at the MLB level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago McLaurin is underrated. I can’t picture him as anything less than a top 5 receiver in the league. Sign him and be done with it. He earned it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago On the stadium, Mendelson and Bowser HATE each other, but honestly Mendo got a much better deal out of the Commanders. I've had my issues with him, but given the timeframe they were given, he did a good job here. I am generally against NFL (or other big) stadiums in an urban setting - but this has to be an exception. First, there is already a stadium there, so it's not like you are displacing a bunch of people to build it. Second, the access is WAY better than Fedex/Northwest Stadium. You'll have Metro right there, a ton of bus routes, a highway. They are gonna build housing, stuff for DC youth, etc. All in all, it's a good deal. And Harris and Co actually believe in and want to support DC, unlike that POS Snyder. We know that because they were very open to working with Mendo about making the deal better for DC. Snyder would've told them to take a hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the whole preserving rookie eligibility for higher prospects a common practice in the league in general, though? (Hence why "September callups" became a thing?) Why are some of you acting like everybody doesn't do the same thing come August? Lol Teams always wanna preserve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to catch more anyway. But Beavers is ready. This has bit them in the butt a few times already and they should learn from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's deep winter down in deep southern South America and the skiers there are happy. It's gonnabe the scene in the Mid Atlantic come December 2025 on into the first three months of 2026.
