Stebo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 This is some insane amount of CG with this storm moving just South me over Detroit. This has to be some of the brightest and most vivid lightning I have seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Looks like many damage hail reports coming into NWS DTX. Hail at Metro also, 1/2" looks like I am dodging a rough shift right now, probably will be quiet midnight shift.

Stevo6899 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Looks like many damage hail reports coming into NWS DTX. I honeslty have never seen hail here at my house. I have gotten some serious winds, and that weak tornado last year but never hail. Normal hail around here is quarter size hail and usually no bigger?

Normal hail around here is quarter size hail and usually no bigger? Michigan is pretty much a no large hail zone, although you semi guys have a lot higher chance than I do up here in Central MI. I've actually had small hail 3x IMBY this year which I consider great lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMIweather Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Had 50 mph winds and no hail here in Shelby Township. Good storm. Friend in my subdivision on the southwest side of Lake Orion said 50 mph winds and pea sized hail there. Looks like the good stuff hit downtown Lake Orion...glad you got a good storm dmc.

Normal hail around here is quarter size hail and usually no bigger? I've been wondering how much of a role microclimates play (I'm pretty sure this area, SE Macomb/NE Wayne, is one, this is confirmed by kab's lower snowfall numbers relative to other areas in the region every winter season). True, it's the luck of the draw to see significant weather anywhere, but in the microclimates around here it's really like pulling teeth. The biggest snowstorm I've seen is 12", I've only seen thundersnow once and the biggest hail sizs I've seen is nickel (and I've only seen all hail with a t'storm once). It seems to be much easier to get significant weather outside the microclimates (see Ann Arbor-DTW-Downtown/Downriver corridor, Flint-Port Huron corridor, Pontiac-Auburn Hills-Lake Orion area, etc.). It's not unique just to our region either, I'm sure other regions in the country and world have these type of microclimates too. I'm surprised you haven't seen anything significant as well, I figured some good would have happened during the event a week or two ago (June 22nd), nasty storms were all around you.

Yea, most of it falls under the category of "thats just the way it goes". On june 22nd the storms were all pretty small and they missed to the north. I was golfing that day in romeo and saw some lowering clouds with that tornado warned cell but my roomate back in macomb said we got a little rain. Some pretty impressive lightning today though. Also pretty impressive the way those storms down by detroit ignited out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Is it just me or does Extreme SW Ontario get rocked all the time? I notice this, too. Even when it's sunny in Detroit, there is an MCS stretching across Essex and Kent counties moving southward over the lake. The storm was largely uneventful here. Got missed on all sides. Seriously. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 kinda eerie looking outside. Kind of a rare bright yellow/orange Nice Mammatus, still getting some distant CG to my SE. Very nice looking skies with the burnt orange tinge to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Nice Mammatus, still getting some distant CG to my SE. Very nice looking skies with the burnt orange tinge to it. Thanks. Assuming the timing has to be just right to get skies like this. A lot of the times when we do get storms to fire, they happen after sunset. It's things like these skies that make me a weather enthusiast. My roomate gives me so much crap for getting excited on days like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I notice this, too. Even when it's sunny in Detroit, there is an MCS stretching across Essex and Kent counties moving southward over the lake. The storm was largely uneventful here. Got missed on all sides. Seriously. Oh well. It was more powerful here. The winds took down a large part of a maple tree at my mom's apartment compex about 3 blocks from here. The line went thru about 7:45 and it's been off and on thunder and lightning since . Sounds like a storm is starting up again - radar is showing a healthy storm that is coming in from the west.

London + severe weather= always. If it's not super severe thunderstorms it's 6 feet of snow, or flash flooding. You name it, London has it! Sporadic lightning north of KW right now, a few good boomers, barely any rain. Fun, fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
