Niko Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Wilma was deepest in Atlantic @ 882, After 17 yrs, Gilbert got bumped to 2nd place @ 888. Camille was thought to be strongest but reanalysis downgraded her pressure and winds from 190 mph to 175 mph sustained. Labor Day of '35 over the Keys remains lowest baro over land and most intense landfall @ 892 followed by Gilbert @ 900 mb. So yeah, getting into "rare air" if some of these models are close!The funny thing with Camille, was that back then, all meteorologists were not forecasting anything about this hurricane moving up the coast. They had it going out to sea. Well, L.I got a big surprise!!! Lots of damage there as the hurricane roared in.

westMJim Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I know this in not the right location for this post and I also have it in the August discussion as well. August 2017 is now in the history books. For most of Michigan the month was cooler than average and is some locations it was the coolest August in many years. Here are some of the mean temperatures and the departure from average for several locations in Michigan. Here in Grand Rapids mean 68.7° (-2.1) coolest August since 2004. Lansing 68.0° (-1.8) Muskegon 68.6° (-1.3) Detroit 71.1° (-0.9) Flint 66.9° (-1.9) Saginaw 67.9° (-0.9) Alpena 65.7° (+0.3) the only location with above average mean. Houghton Lake 63.7° (-1.3) The Sault 64.3° (-0.3) Marquette 59.3° (-4.4) At Marquette this August was the coolest since 1992. There were no 90° days at any of the above locations in August and there more likely that not there were none in Michigan this August. There were frost at both Marquette and Houghton Lake and several other locations in Michigan this past August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how the trough swinging through picks up or steers Hurricane Irma. Occasionally, storms as such can phase into a big trough somewhere in the East. I think Sandy did that a while back and I remember days upon days of Northeast winds and chilly weather. The way the pattern has acted lately, we may have another blocking HP that would allow a similar solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
