Weather in your area?

[Peanut]

It rained off an on all night and this morning, feeder bands off the remnants of H. Laura. It woke me up a couple times before daylight.

Most of the state is currently under a flash flood watch. Expected to continue another 24hrs.

At least its cool, temps in the low 80's and over cast.

Here come de rain.

Looks like an alldayer.

Jim

Sorry, no rain-checks!

(pun legally stolen)
Oh, on topic: we still have some wind but it is hot with high humidity.
Like opening the door to a blast-furnace.
Funny to watch the news-media folks melt.

 

[Bacpacker]

76 this morning, all time highest temp for the low for the day. 89 for the high, humidity was near 80% all day. Expecting outer bands off Laura overnight and morning. Possible tornados in the general area overnight.

 

[Dani]

Saw the last bands of Laura this evening around 4 o'clock feeding time. Good riddance!

 

[Peanut]

Rainy again today, light, intermittent, just messy out... H. Laura still pulling moisture up from the gulf. Still overcast but they say the rain is gone but for the random drizzle.

 

[Bacpacker]

.34" of rain the morning at 6. Rained for a while after that. Suppose to get more tonightby 6.

95 yesterday, 79 today with rain.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Got 1/2 inch of rain form Laura which has moved off to the coast now.
Still muggy as heck but only 80 outside.
Have a small front coming down from the north bringing a tiny bit of rain and then lower humidity and only in the 70's tomorrow.
Supposed to be only in the 60's on monday but more humid because we might get some more rain then.

I'll be glad when the cooler air comes into season.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Absolutely beautiful outside today! Oh my goodness! Its 76, 45% humidity, slight breeze. Just a perfect day.

Supposed to have the humidity jump tonight and rain all day tomorrow

 

[Patchouli]

high yesterday sucked the life right out of anybody.
maybe 105. felt like 111.
Unannounced storms rolled in around sunset. I had looked at the weather a number of times online because I thought maybe we'd get a thunderstorm. No indication on radar or forecast.

Suspicion of a tornado, must have "only" been a downburst near here. Too close for me. Laid RVs on their sides. Fortunately no injuries but enough damage and trees down. Other areas nearby saw hail.

 

[Weedygarden]

Woke up to 48 degrees this morning. I have the thermostat turned down, so the furnace didn't come on. I love the cool mornings after having highs of 90's for about 10 days. A couple windows are open on the second floor, which helps the heat escape when the swamp cooler is running. Predicted high of 80 today.

With 48 degrees today, I wonder if someone got some fresh snow, somewhere in the mountain. Daughter reported rain in the mountains while she was camping this weekend. We desperately needed it. She was not anywhere near the big Pine Gulch fire. I hope that area got some good rain as well.

I just read that we had the hottest August in recorded history. I have been feeling it, but it feels like someone flipped a switch now.

I just read that this was a 45 degree temperature drop in 14 hours. There was a dusting of snow in some places in the mountains. We could have snow fairly soon. Predicted three 90 degree days in the first week of September, and then an even more significant temperature drop. It looks like I will need to pack some long sleeved shirts for my next house sitting gig.

Mornings are a tad cooler now but temps have jumped back up some in last couple days.

 

[UrbanHunter]

Peeked outside, it is HUMID, warm, mid 80s, but it's not raining for the first time in a while.

I remember when I lived in the mountains of Colorado, in the summer every afternoon around 4 PM it would cloud up and rain like the dickens, then clear off and leave us with a nice cool evening... Here it rains and just gets sticky as all getout.

 

[Patchouli]

So happy. I said to the offspring early this afternoon that I wished it would rain hard all day. That's what I got. It has let up a few times but is raining steady again. Have had our share of lightning and thunder. Reported flooding in places. Backyard, tiny as it is, had lots of standing water. It is in the low 70s, haven't seen that low in months. First day of September! Yeah!

 

[Weedygarden]

The forecast:
Today's high is 97, low is 69
Tomorrow's high is predicted to be 98, low of 60
Monday's high is predicted to be 93, low of 33!!! (60 degree drop!!)
Tuesday's high is predicted to be 35 and the low is 26. Snow is predicted, but how much I have not seen yet.
Wednesday's high, 51, low, 37
Thursday's high, 66, low is 42

The 60 degree drop in temperature is very hard on plants. We had a similar drop a few years ago (maybe 2011) and it killed my peach tree and my wisteria vine. I was not alone in losing trees, especially fruit trees. Wisteria root produced a small shoot (vine) that still grows, but is thin. The vine was about 3 inches in diameter and literally broke apart, separated, about a foot from the ground. I am hoping that I do not lose my peach and pear trees this time, especially my new pear tree that I planted this spring.

 

[Patchouli]

We've had a 20 degree drop here today already, 91 to 71, started raining a little bit ago, thunder, etc. Wasn't expecting that.
I hope you don't lose anything, @Weedygarden but it doesn't sound very promising.
Kind of weird how it hit September and temperatures dropped overall here.
Sunday 93/73 sunny
Monday 95/74 sunny
Tuesday 90/57 sunny
Wednesday 62/51 scattered showers
Thursday 67/51 partly cloudy
Friday 74/53 mostly sunny

Thats one heck of a drop! My goodness from swimwear to ski wear!

We will be 98 with heat index around 110. Then later in the week in the high 80s low 90s.

 

[DWinCO]

100 degrees today and freezing by Tuesday...getting in some extra steps today...garden picking to kitchen. Need to locate some plastic by Tuesday. I want MORE red tomatoes.

When I saw the forecast for this week, I couldn't believe it. I have sooo been enjoying sitting out on the back deck at nighttime reading a novel. The weather has been absolutely perfect for that (70's). Those days may be coming to an end for this year. I think the temps will be bouncing back up at the end of the week. I don't like the hot days, but shorts, T-shirt and barefoot on the deck at night is perfect.

 

[SeventiesWreckers]

****** Hot, over 100, and air full of smoke from fires both near & far.

I like the low 70's, not that I have control of the thermostat for Colorado! If I did, that would be what I would set it at!

Since this is Colorado, the temperatures will go back up, but hopefully not into the upper 90's for days.

Prediction was a little low today. It got up to 99 degrees today. I had an appointment to take a dog to a dog park this afternoon. I sat in the shade, and that is typical for me, and dog mostly stayed in the shade as well, but did get a little chasing in.

 

[Bacpacker]

We were upper 70's today sunny and a little breeze. Nice day witt low humidity. Similar for tomorrow.

I really hope we don't get that temp drop. I'm just now starting to get ripe tomatoes!

 

[Cnsper]

Temps dropping 50 degrees in 48 hours. Chance of snow at the 7k foot level

 

[Weedygarden]

My eyes have been bothering me since about noon today. One of my friends shared that we have ash and smoke in the air. I had gone home early to water and check the house, and it was fine then. As the day progressed, my eyes have really bothered me. Looked outside and the sky is gray from smoke. I am not sure which fire this smoke is from, but one thing is for sure, the drop in temperature and the snow storm on Tuesday are going to be big in fighting our current fires and preventing any potential ones this year.

 

[Weedygarden]

If you ever wondered why we consistently have dewpoints in the low/mid 70s, which is on par with many tropical spots during the summer, look no further than the seemingly-endless fields of corn within the region. Corn releases tremendous amounts of water into the air every single day. This process, called transpiration, can easily add 5 degrees to the dewpoint over what would otherwise be the case. Dewpoints are typically very high in the midwestern corn belt this time of year as the corn crop matures in the region. This will tend to subside somewhat by mid-August, usually signalling an end to the oppressive dewpoints/humidity for the season.

One time I was in north central Nebraska, to a family gathering. When it was over, instead of heading home to Colorado, I headed east, got a motel room and spent the night. I got up early the next morning and headed east again. You could see the steam coming off the corn fields.

That's why I was told you go through Nebraska at night, you don't have to look at it. Lol
