Off topic, but has anyone seen Daddylonglegs or ChicagoWX on here lately. I can't remember the last time I saw them post.

ChicagoWX doesn't post much in the summer. He is truly a winter guy. I'm sure that he's on the golf course as we speak.

I'm hoping to get some boomers or at least heavy rain later this afternoon.

46 degrees here with steady very light to light rain. The rain is heavier as it moves west of CR and the models have backed off on our total, which sucks because we need a good soaking. Just a couple tenths so far. The latest Euro really warms us up after day 6 with 80s back by day 9 *fingers crossed*.

Not a rain drop all day and it continues. Makes me feel better to know that macomb is the donut hole not just for snow,

"Looks like" another shot of some Heavy rain tonight...theres no way Macomb can miss out on this one

Lol we'll see. Seems like the rains been stuck in ohio which is fine to me. Never seen such a slow moving system. Going to take 3-4 days to move out and allow the sun to come out.

This weekend and next weekend look to be worlds apart if the Models continue their progressions.

Good point, also Lundberg mentioned after this cold shot the reservoir of cold in Canada spills out so I;m feeling pretty good that beginning next week later, we turn to warm for good. I will say that this cool shot is impressive though, mind you a cutoff low just spininng but you feel it after all the heat of this past week. I'm hoping environmental Canada's outlook for summer verifies...fingers crossed.

Looking at the radar and recent models, we might not get any rain at all from yesterday through tomorrow. Impressive since areas just to the west south and east of here are under flood warnings and have gotten from 1-5 inches of rain. We've had some drizzle but nothing steady. Also Impressive since a few days ago it was looking like 3 inches easy of rain.

Yep, us guys along the Lake St. Clair shoreline (except birefly for a tiny area in the immediate Mt. Clemens/New Baltimore area Thursday morning) have been screwed every which way this event. Can't blame it on the lake either since Chicago, Milwaukee, Manistee, Port Huron and Cleveland have all had good hits this event. On Thursday we suffered from cumulonimbus clouds all morning (disrupting some of our sunshine) just to have some nice t'storms developed just to the east in SW Ontario and remain capped for the rest of the day. This was after another round of storms from Wednesday Night fell apart around I-75. Then tehre was the Tuesday morning round that mostly hit impacted teh areas SW of I-75.

What a strange storm. For Example... Romeo has had 3" of Rain vs Clinton TWP only 0.2". Strange system. Its been a light rain since 730 here not amounting to much

LOL indeed. Thats fine though because I have been outside all day today and yesterday. As far as the storms being capped due to cloud cover, that still fascinates and confuses me. You would think instability would stil be there to allow storms to form where there was weak, thin, cloud cover

Also didn't know romeo got that much of rain. Was that mostly last night?

I left my house at 5:30pm and seen a line of storms along I-80 heading NNW ward. I check the radar at 8pm.....and its completely disappeared. Speechless on how that's possible with a low pressure system just to the south.

Exactly. I saw the same thing around 2pm and was thinking maybe the tigers game would have a delay and maybe postponed. The funniest part was when I told my landscaping buddy this morning that it will probably pour on us. Ever hour I kept saying to myself, how is it not raining yet. My buddy is like your just like all the weatherman. You dont know what your talking about.

Must have been great sitting in that weather today watching the Twins do their 11 inning whatever that was?!

This whole evening (and day for that matter) has been remarkably consistent with a light to moderate rain, wind, and temps in the 40s. Unbelievably, I've actually kind of warmed up to it b/c it is comical given what normal May weather is like.

Be careful of what you wish for. The flash flooding was unbelievable. I assisted in two boat rescues with the local fire dept/EMA Dive Team. We bagged and delivered countless sandbags. I caught just over 3" in my CoCoRahs gauge, but areas just northwest of town saw 5+. The problem was that over 3" of that came down in less than an hour!!!

Below is my LSR. Note the time I finally had the chance to make the report. Also, many more homes are flooded than listed in the report. Those are just the ones that called in.
