What's up with the DTW temperature yesterday? The afternoon had an observation of 83 one hour, and 84 another, yet F6 and climate report show high of only 82. Just oversight or were those METARs incorrect?

I have really been getting into tropical season with this one in model land, I wont start a thread just yet but its been consistent and the 12z GFS is the strongest I've seen it yet hitting the west coast of FL and still traversing all of Cuba and then hitting the warm water and exploding rapidly.

The rain and storms this winter/spring/summer refuses to end. A wonderful summer rain and light show this evening. I was able to snap this as the storm was approaching at sunset:

Nice pic. That was an intense little storm. Not much wind but alot of dime size hail. I wasn't expecting that at all. I figured the lake breeze would kill those storms but by that time of the evening it had died out.

Western Geauga county got crushed by a hailer this morning. Took a lot of the foliage off of the trees.

Late month tropical threat very much alive on the 00z GFS. This thing is already starting to suck me in even though it's more than 10 days away. :axe:

It's starting to suck me in, too, primarily because we need rain. Going to need a Texas or Louisiana hit in order for the Western Great Lakes to get in on the remnants, correct?

That would help. There aren't that many cases of landfalls east of there affecting the western Lakes but it can happen with the right pattern in place. Best ways would be a very deep/amplified trough moving in at a favorable time to basically slingshot the system due north or have enough ridging to the north/east to prevent an early recurve.
