NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.
Yesterday’s frontal boundary swept through Arkansas, Missouri, and into Illinois before weakening overnight. Quite a few warnings for severe storms with wind damage, and a few tornadoes. So far only a few reports of tornado in Illinois with many more wind reports from Springfield, Missouri to Springfield, Illinois.
Winter continues unfortunately for folks in the Western UP of Michigan, Arrowhead of Minnesota, and Northern Wisconsin. Radar shows snowfall in Duluth and Ironwood. Accumulations will be light as temperatures warm a bit today.
