Niko Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Jose, currently a TS out in the Atlantic, threatens the US coastline per some models. Everyone on the EC should closely monitor this system as the track takes it more west. Stay tuned!

westMJim Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Same here..I cannot remember the last time it actually rained in my neck of the woods. Hopefully, early next week, we can get some t'stm activity from that CF that will be approaching us. From what I am hearing, it will end up being a dry front for me.It has been very dry since mid August. In fact here in my area its the driest it has been this summer and the grass is now getting very brown. The trees are now turning with a lot of yellows and some reds some leaves are falling off the tress without color. The last rain in Detroit was on Sept 4 So far this month most of Michigan has gotten less that one inch of rain fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any front that does try to come its way ends up drying out and we get a dry front. Ofc, Irma was a great opportunity to get rainfall, but she decided to go as far north as Ohio and then head east towards PA.

jaster220 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Almost midnight and it's still 76.6* on my balcony... KRMY hit 49F this morning. I'm afraid the eastern end of our sub is going to go into the icebox this winter. So far, the early cold seems focused over our way. At any rate, certainly a contrast lately from here to there. Edit: We always have the 30% of trees that are early turning, but this year there are quite a few, and they've burst entirely into color. Mountain Ash are bright yellow, have Red Maples, and even some orange (reg?) Maple trees in stunning full color. If you get a cluster, it's a beautiful display on these sunny days. And it's not just tips of trees, but the entire tree.

We need more of a westerly wind to upwell the cooler waters from below which brings the Kings closer to the shoreline. Unless, of course, you take a charter miles offshore. We usually cast/troll the shorelines of Waukegan Harbor or if we head up to MKE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 It is unofficial but I have 88° here at my house. At the airport the official reading is now at 86° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Not gonna lie, came back from the beach and turned on the A/C. Thermometer says 86F but in the sun it feels more like 90F! Torch is legit for Sept standards. Plenty of people out enjoying bonus summer wx. Looking out towards next weekend, can we do it again?
