NEJeremy Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I know I am probably in the minority here being on a winter weather forum, but I don't like the cool weather coming the next week to 10 days. Although of course it won't be that cool(jacket weather), just cool for this time of year.I'm always one for 80s and even 90s as long as dewpoints aren't near 80.When it comes to winter, I've always been a snow fan and especially a snowstorm fan, but not a cold fan. I'd take a 100 degrees over 10 degrees any day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Here at my house I recorded 0.42″ of rain with the thundershowers this morning. That already gives today the most one day rain fall since June 23rd. Now the next question is will yesterdays high of 87° at GRR be the warmest we get the rest of this year? With the upcoming cool down that could be the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Accuweather's first stab at thir Autumn outlook...As much as I dislike Accuweather, they did do pretty well with last year's Fall outlook, predicting quite a few heat waves in September and real cold shots not hitting till late November. They were only marginally wrong with their first snow prediction, which fell in early December instead of late November. 2 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

The next 7-10 days look like perfection around these parts, except for tomorrow's cloudy/intermittent rains. Today's wx looks exceptional.
