Stebo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guys if you are just going to complain and not even remotely be objective than sit back and post less for a bit... As for that South Lyon storm starting to come together a little more. The Monroe County storm is looking pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Guys if you are just going to complain and not even remotely be objective than sit back and post less for a bit... As for that South Lyon storm starting to come together a little more. The Monroe County storm is looking pretty good too. little cells are popping up. It's hard to focus in on just one. Has this been happening across the state as the line headed east (individual cells developing ahead)? Also the sun was out in full force until about 11 am. Since then it has been overcast all day. Surprised the line stayed together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice to see nothing has changed. I try to catch up on what was going on today, after being at an air show all day, and it's page after page of Michigan posters whining. Sorry if you didn't get a frigging storm in your backyard, cry me a river. I don't know what more you want, it sounds like there's been a couple of tornadoes, and some wind damage around the state. Hopefully when a mod comes in here, things will be done as they said they were going to be. A lot of them will be getting 5 posted. I don't understand why it's so damn hard, when you don't have anything objective to say, just sit on your hands and don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outflow Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Maybe not consider it complaining. Year, after year I've asked DTX to explain why this phenomenon happens, in the same spot more often than not. No one has an answer I guess. I am trying to learn what causes this. Is it the Irish Hills, does it have something to do with the lakes, is it a highly religious person that lives around me that prays constantly to God for no bad weather? I doubt it's just out of pure luck if the pattern has been showing up for the last 20 years with a few exceptions. :sigh: On another note, there is going to be some impressive rainfall totals out of southern tuscola county as the thunderstorms have been training over that area first as the wwa fired of storms and now as the northern part of the bow slowly moves over that area.

David Reimer Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 page after page? Maybe 3-4 posts. Let's not exaggerate. I myself was stating a fact and not complaining. Just because a few complain doesn't mean all MI posters do this. Let's lighten up a little. How about.... No. If I'm coming in this thread while sitting in the middle of Kansas to get some nowcast information because I can't pull up the mesoanalysis page because of the low data speed, I don't want to deal with a bunch of sh-t from those whining about no severe weather, or just posting general observations like "I can hear thunder in the distance". Do that in your local thread, not this thread which many chasers do actually post in. Unless you want to see the same thing occur here that happened at StormTrack (all the mets and vets stopped posting) I suggest the mods do something about the lowering quality of this thread, and all severe weather threads. This is not a local severe weather thread, this is a thread discussing it as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a few complain doesn't mean all MI posters do this. Let's lighten up a little. Maybe not page after page this time but I deleted way more than a few. You hardly ever see any complaining from posters in other areas farther south/west when they get split or missed by severe storms. Why is that?

This is not a local severe weather thread, this is a thread discussing it as a whole. Speaking of OK/KS... Those cells are struggling. 700mb temps running beween 14-16C across the watch area. 850mb temps are quite high too, around 30C in the southwestern portion of the watch.

Powerball Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 BTW, WXYZ's radar said the storm that just came through here had 5" per hour rates. Either that had to be an error or the storm was moving so fast that we didn't realize the true rainfall rates with it. It wasn't severe though, hardly any wind or significant lightning, just loud thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is one hell of a cap down there. Probably going to have a hard time sustaining the convection when it goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cells are struggling. 700mb temps running beween 14-16C across the watch area. 850mb temps are quite high too, around 30C in the southwestern portion of the watch. Yeah those cells are going to have major issues even getting precipitation down to the ground. With the severe drought out there and the 40-50F dewpoint depressions the primary threat from the cells further south (especially in the TX/OK Panhandles) will likely be dry lightning sparking off grass fires. Still, the one cell that managed to get going apparently had a decent elevated wall cloud with a funnel at one point. I'm really beginning to look forward to tomorrow though. 500 MB winds are further veered to the southeast in OK/KS (compared to further south up in NE) that will hopefully promote a discrete mode for a longer period of time. The backed LLJ is also a plus. However, dewpoint depressions will be a problem again, but not to the extent of today. I might make the trip up for tomorrow.

patrick7032 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Good luck Patrick hoping you see something good.

Yeah looking at the radar loop in hindsight, everything got pretty messy shortly after 6 p.m. All in all though it was definitely a good wind damage event for Southern MI...with some of the more impressive reports I've seen in some time for our area coming out of Kalamazoo, Calhoun, and Eaton counties. Glad you got a decent storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
