THESE ARE DESTRUCTIVE STORMS producing measured winds gusts of 80 to over 90 mph. HAZARD...90 mph wind gusts. Big warning for southside, some bins over 100mph down there.

LSR from Aurora for 85mph measured at the airport.

several 80mph bins in there. all the warnings are for 70mph rn.

What a mess of modeling today.

Considering how our recent winters have gone, I am not remotely optimistic of plenty of wintry opportunities. I think this has the making of a sub 20" season.

Shorts on xmas probably.

I would like storms this time around.

We could still use some rain here. The weekend system ended up being pedestrian at best.

Quite a weird outcome to yesterday, everything rode the front and the front was never able to advance NE into MI until really late and after the atmosphere was worked over. I would have loved to gotten more rain than we did last night though.

Any major tornado event from the 50s-70s Blizzard of 78 but not in Detroit.

Not a good look, the GFS thankfully isn't as bad.

Yeah it is nice to have no AC running.

Good thing you are at home and not back at college, its been hell up in MP.

Its awful here still, we are at 1 1/4SM with the smoke and the AQI is around 400 still.

Right now at work. This is how smoky it is inside my brother's work in Imlay City.

Honestly, I don't think we have another option.

3/4SM here, its smoky inside the building even, its so bad.

GOES East is down, might be down for a bit too.

The AQI values the HRRR is putting out are incredible. Some spots in the UP and northern lower over 1000 tonight.

It will be interesting to see which model wins the heat battle this time, last heatwave it was the Euro lower on temps. This time the Euro is going nuts and the GFS is subdued.

Pair of 97s at DTW and DET. Models overmodeled the UHI but still pretty impressive and the hottest temps in 7 years.

Elevation doesn't make that much of a difference, you aren't 5000 feet above the rest of the county.

You might want to get your setup augmented, it's at least 3 to 5 degrees low.

94/75 for DTW yesterday. So far overnight the low is 79 at DTW and 81 at DET.

This week is going to be on par if not exceeding 2012's heat wave locally, its been 14 years since we have had heat of this magnitude. Nothing typical about this unless you are in Dallas or something.
