Arizona and it was 115 there but its not near as humid

Humid or not 115 cant feel good.

No doubt Jeremy.

It’s 60 and a bit foggy up here in the northland. I’ll take it.

Best part… not many bugs of any kind!

Looks warm for about 2 or 3 days starting Sunday. Beyond that and heading into Labor Day, there will be another cooler blast of Canadian air arriving so highs will return to around 70 – 75 degrees.

If you’re going to the fair, avoid sunday and monday lol

Farmers Almanac 2024/2025

Wet Winter Whirlwind
The astronomical start of winter begins with the winter solstice on Saturday, December 21, 2024. This winter, La Niña, which refers to the periodic cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, is expected to develop and hang on through the season. Taking into account the effect La Niña has on the weather, along with our long-standing formula, we anticipate the winter of 2024-25 will be wet and cold for most locations.

The season’s coldest temperatures will be found from the Northern Plains to the Great Lakes region. But areas east of the Rockies into the Appalachians will also experience many periods of cold conditions. The coldest outbreak of the season will come during the final week of January into the beginning of February, when frigid Arctic air brings a sharp plunge in temperatures almost nationwide, but especially across the Northern Plains.

I just hope we get solid ice formed prior to getting lots of snow. Nothing messes up a ice season like lack of ice followed by lots of heavy snow cover. Flooded snow makes for some real hard fishing conditions. Ideal would be 12-14″ of ice first and then I don’t really care how much snow we get.

Ya need some good ice I gotta try out my new flag pole and strobe lights.

I wouldn’t trust a long range forecast formula as far as I could throw one. Especially one from the farmers.

La Nina is expected to become moderate phase by late fall or early winter, but there will be a transition phase from El Nino. I highly doubt we’ll see a fake winter like last year, but don’t be surprised if its not that much different, especially early on in December. December will look a lot more like fall than winter would be my guess.

Our winters have definitely been getting started later lately it seems.

A repeat of last winter for the next ten years or so would be just peachy with me. Maybe even a bit warmer.

Jimmy watch your mouth! LOL

Bring on hard water season.

With each passing year my mindset is shifting more and more in this direction. Give me enough ice for maybe 2 destination outings, and a couple weeks of pounding trophy perch on the river…and then bring on the 50s

I sure could live with an extended fall prior to a short winter. I’ll trade ice fishing time for an extended fall walleye bite any day.

First time the sprinklers have been activated this year. Easily a new record and I could have gone longer but they are so restrictive here in my city that I only get two days a week to use it.

Nasty out there again today. All my windows are completely fogged up with condensation.

A low pressure cool front will arrive later today, tonight, and through out the over night. Severe storms could be possible and the primary threat will be hail.

Relief will be arriving after the front moves through. Another cool front arrives Thursday, with even cooler temps for Labor Day weekend, which is looking stunning right now. Mid 70’s is on tap.

My windows are very foggy here too. It is thick outside!

Yeah you know it’s going to be bad when by 8:00 the guys in the shop are already sweating. I stocked the fridge with Gatorade and will keep an eye on them, make sure they are hydrated.

Days like this are brutal in a shop especially with little wind. Luckily 3yrs ago the owner had a/c installed in the shop and while we don’t use it that much I turned it on at 7am when I got here.

My wife works at a shop that has AC. That is a rare luxury in our industry for sure!

Gotta love when everyone in the shop is sweating their ass off and the service writers come back with sweatshirts on complaining things aint getting done quick enough.

My son is boiling I’m sure at work.

there are a few, and not sure how many, but businesses shut down once the heat index hits a certain level!!!!

Getting really dark here. Looks like it’s going to get nasty about 6 based on radar.

pretty much fizzled out here…..for now anyway!!! temps really dropped so dod the dewpoint!!!!!

Complete white out here. Heavy winds, lightning/thunder, torrential rain. No hail thus far.

Cool sky and double rainbow tonight

Well that got a little wild. See trees down across the street. We have no power.
I should have let mother nature deal with the wasps because I’m pretty sure that table cover is I. The next county.

Here in south/central metro we have no power now for the last hour and a half or so. Lots of trees/branches down and debris in the roads. Hopefully they get it running soon, but there are a gazillion outages. That was a crazy show of wind on the front edge and the lightning show lasted forever. I drove down the road and parked under an overpass for a while, but thankfully no hail.
