Chinook Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 It's so nice to cool down, with lower dew points. a high of 77, and a low of 53 for Toledo, makes for an avergae of 8 degrees F below normal for the day It's starting to feel exactly like those perfect September days, that is, the days with much lower amounts of air conditioning needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Early fall airmass moved in last night. Gusty NW winds, steep lapse rates and lower dew point. Trees are starting to show some drought stress. 0.20” since August 1 7.10” since June 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 83/67 for a nice summer day. That rain helped the dews today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Picked up 1.31" in 45 minutes from a t-storm as the cool front moved through last evening, taking our month's total to 10.67". The grass is supposed to be brown and dormant around here in late August. This having to mow every five days sucks, but my garden appreciates it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Should be a nice breezy day in the upper 60's w/ lows tonight in the low 40's. Not much rain materialized over the past several days, It's pretty dry. I've had a hummingbird feeding frenzy for about 2-3 weeks then seemingly overnight they're gone. I'll leave the feeders up another week or two for stragglers. Sure sign that summer is over in the northland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a decent streak of 70s to close out the summer season for you guys in the UP. Maybe even one last 80. The Annual SEP Torch spares no one! even monster Nino falls stand no chance against the greater overall pattern shift towards warm and mild falls.

No need to rush winter but I do consider summer over up here September 1st regardless of temps. Leaves are well on their way, sun goes behind the trees on the hill mid afternoon. The look and feel of summer has faded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Beautiful morning with a low of 46, even a few spotty showers around dawn. Great stretch of late summer-early fall weather ahead after some much needed weekend rain. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colors may be less robust unless we get good rains coming up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Dew points have surged to the low 70s, hopefully the last time this year. Barring any surprises this will end up as the 4th DRIEST August on record in the Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
