Low at SBN was 41 but I had 39 on my thermometer at home.

Edit: Low officially was 40. Tied daily record low from 1986.

1.42" of rain from stms last night. Much needed. 2.03" for the month (avg 3.53") so a good start.

28F at the Water Treatment Plant in Wauseon yesterday.

Wow! 23F at Sidney, Ohio yesterday. Also, 32F at Springfield, Ohio.

[A-L-E-K]

23 huh

pass

[TheClimateChanger]

Incredible. Easily the driest August on record for Ohio, with a statewide average of 1.01" of rainfall. The previous record was 1.31" in August 1951.

[TheClimateChanger]

Vermont and Kentucky also had their driest Augusts on record, with Missouri and Pennsylvania coming in 3rd place, and West Virginia in 2nd place.

don't buy that 23 at all, lol. some of these COOP sites have terrible siting and should be taken with a grain of salt

[michsnowfreak]

Sunny, dry, and early color continues.

Wouldn't mind a bit of rain, but otherwise it is pretty spectacular run we got coming here. 80/55 every day for the next week+.

[HillsdaleMIWeather]

This really is the best time of the year temperature wise

Yeah. The dewpoints usually aren’t real high and the longer nights allow it to start cooling down fairly early even if it does get really warm during the afternoon.

Party's over here.  Have a 6+ 90 degree days coming, starting Friday.  Mid 90s Saturday.

Just 2.17" of rain in the past 42 days.

[Geoboy645]

The next week+ looks like almost an exact repeat of last September's consecutive 80s streak, with maybe just slightly less intensity. Will be interesting to see how many consecutive 80s we have, which after today's date is more and more impressive the later we get into the month. And how much we recover the anomalies for the month. We bottomed out around -9 a couple days ago, so we'll see if we get close to or above average for anomalies after this stretch.

Same here. Looks like the 90s are done early for the year. 

The bad news: Very short-lived garbage pattern ahead for the next few days. Although a bit early for this, but back-to-back days of expected suicide weather starting tomorrow.

The good news: Nice pleasant weather takes over just before this weekend begins with temps rebounding back to the lower 80's for Friday into Saturday. 

Temps really cool down big time early next week. Highs are forecast to be in the low 70s, though there are areas that could be stuck in the 60s or even upper 50s!

Overall, we're reaching what it appears to be the final nail in the coffin on this summer.

Leave it to Spartman to declare summer cancel. Dayton expected 85-90 for the next seven days. A couple of those 89-90’s may be too low

I'm not looking forward to the upcoming heat and continued extreme dryness.  I may have to run the sprinkler because the lawn is turning brown, which I would never have thought might happen a month ago when everything was wet and lush.  The weather has been generally pleasant, but the combination of the US pattern and the dead tropics continues to be incredibly boring.

[Brian D]

An overcast, drizzly morning. Blah wx today. 

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Very dense fog this AM. Airport has had visibility around a quarter mile. 

[Brian D]

Early data for Aug showing an avg month. A warmer summer again driven by the warmth of June, and July. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively.

Interesting how apparently 1828 was a super hot summer.

With a temp profile like that, the party in my view would be getting started .

The multi-year trend of swinging from extremes continues with an incredible stretch ongoing of mainly sunny, dry, and pleasant temps also here. 10-day shows only 1 day of overcast! I don't buy it but I want to believe. The wx has been boring for so long. I was at the highest number of t-storms I've tracked in a year up til early Aug now nothing for a long time.

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Looks likely we bag a late season 90 at MSP this weekend.

With the narrative the way it is, you'd never know there where plenty of hot summers in the past. It's shameful the way stuff gets portrayed sometimes, but an agenda will do that to people, instead of appreciating wx, and its cycles.

Agree 100%. I have come across quite a few hot summers and mild, snowless winters from the 1800s-1860s, but with lack of official records, they are never looked at beyond what minimal info there is.

[Brian D]

Foggy morning, with a batch of shwrs/stms moving across N MN. Might see something later.

[luckyweather]

Closing in on a month of dry here, only 1/10" since 8/18. Everything started getting crunchy this week. Hail Mary conditional chance for a little training overnight/tomorrow morning, but if that doesn't manifest gonna get into the yellow on the drought map. Last several GFS runs showing a low breaking the ridge down next weekend but then has it coming back after, Euro isn't biting, ridge in place to the end. That early taste of fall might be all she wrote until October.
