A-L-E-K Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 about to engage paradise mode with endless upper 70s and lots of sun, blessed but feeling for my friends in germantown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Upper 40's for the low here. Have only had .25" of rain this month but surprisingly not even AD on the drought monitor. Will probably change with the next update. Fairly seasonable this week w/ a couple cooler nights likely. Averages for this area are 73/53 and sliding quick. The dry weather may cause the leaves to give it up a bit early this year. Changes are already visible in the higher terrain areas. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 40's n 50's around the area this morning. Low 40's for some inland n upper 50's near shore, so quite the spread. Low 80's in town yesterday. Was nice sitting outside with family for my granddaughters birthday. One thing I've noticed this year is no movement of geese yet. Not uncommon to have small flocks on the move about now. The last few years, I notice a flock or two about once a week. In a couple weeks they will be moving a bit more, for sure. Summer is rapidly coming to an end, and it already has hints of Fall with it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Usually by now the corn is starting to dry out and turn brown, this year? It’s bright green and looks like middle July, just an interesting observation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Flying today for the first time in over a decade! Especially because I haven’t flown in so long, flying is still fascinating to me and I’m always at a window looking out! On way to CO, 1st stop is in Detroit, my first time in Michigan. The views of W Lake Erie, my first time seeing Erie, were awesome. Noting the fair wx cumulus over land areas due to heating in the early afternoon while mainly clear over the cooler lake: @roardog@michsnowfreak 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Mom’s house was struck by lightning over the weekend, on top of flood damage she received throughout the week from the onslaught of rain. Lightning fried her fridge, washer/dryer, generator, caught the shed on fire, and struck her well pump and ruined it. Multiple water rescues throughout C IL as well, 8-12” of rain has caused major problems here. Idk how folks deal with this yearly in hurricane zones. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low here of 47, 50's closer to the lake with some mid-30's in the traditional cooler spots (36 Doe Lake). Sunny low-70's on tap today with another cool night before some rain hopefully arrives later this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 So we broke all time river crests through North Central IN down to Northern Indy last week. Now a rain train is setting up to dump again. I'm already pushing 13 inches for the last week, 90% came on Thurs thru Fri night. Insane. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been watching the radar all evening and it's just crazy. I can't recall a time where a specific area had so much rain in such a short amount of time. It looks like there's a break soon but yet another wave back by ILX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
