Creeping On All-Time Wettest Summer
The middle part of August saw a welcomed cool down. A string of days recording below normal temps and low dew points made everyone much more comfortable. Unfortunately we were in Brooklyn, NY during this period to enjoy it. However, the daily weather descriptions left by the back-up OSNW3 observers, MarkMartin and Jeff Bollier, made my daydreams of cooler weather come true. I thank you gentlemen! WeatherScout also noticed and documented the great weather pattern. I am certain that this autumn will feel a bit cooler than usual even though the temps will be average due to our extremely hot and humid summer. My acclimation to dew points in the middle sixties is disheartening.

Oshkosh City Tournament
Since the early 1930's, the city of Oshkosh has held an annual city golf tournament. I'm fortunate enough to have been participating in it since 2005. This weekend is the big weekend for 2010. 170 participants will battle through a two day 36 hole grind. I say grind because it's going to be sticky. Much more humid than the past five, from what I can remember...
(Weekend Forecast)
Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 7am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83. Calm wind becoming north northeast between 4 and 7 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 84. North northeast wind around 7 mph.

For information on the tournament please visit the Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course website. Good luck to all the golfers!!

Front Of House
We're on cut number 9 and August is starting to dry us out. The morning of Aug 24 I noticed some color coming through on the tree across the street, see below. OSNW3 is still in second place for all-time Oshkosh wettest summers. The data set for the precipitation rankings can be found here.
This entry from the NWS Milwaukee is interesting...

You don’t mention the weather conditions in Brooklyn – what was it like?
ReplyDeleteI just ran a little plot of our dew points: We may get into the 40’s mid morning and by mid day we are in the low to mid 20’s. Compared to our previous location, SE Texas, I now celebrate our dew points!
May your golf swing be perfect…
Bob, it was warm and humid. Highs in the mid to upper 80s, lows in the low 70s. A couple nights it rained. Pretty much what we were used to.
ReplyDeleteThose dew points sound wonderful.
My golf swing wasn't perfect. Took 4th place in the B-Flight. I was seven strokes over my goal. Here's looking forward to the 2011 tournament.
The weather has been beautiful around here, but, unfortunately, it is going to get muggier and hotter here, soon.
ReplyDeleteHope the golf outing was fun.

Chris, it wasn't as much of an outing as it was a tournament, but regardless. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteI see things are gonna go back to summer mode. A couple more weeks and we'll be in the clear for autumn to really set in...
