daddylonglegs Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Very strong west winds the past 10 minutes...dew points have really dropped off this evening. Looking forward to cooler temps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Temperatures are going down, but the dewpoints sure are not! Guess I'll waiting a bit for sub 60°. Chill returning tomorrow night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 New seasons in effect: Summer in MI is officially over now. Fall starts Friday, with winter starting July 4th. All thunderstorms past this Wed have been rescheduled to Late September in order for the August blizzards to start. At this point, I wouldn't be real shocked to read that in an AFD.

Tropical Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Ok, the EURO has 21z temps of 39-46 on Thurs. Can this be right?? Low 40s at basically the start of June in the afternoon?? That would be record cold.... by about 10 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I look forward to my mid 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thursday and Friday do look well below normal! I hope the system brings enough rain with it though. This would help... Mild morning in the mid 60s. Had a lot of clouds, now clearing. Dewpoints in the upper 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just felt that 1st push of beautiful dry air. Top shelf condition out there today. Tomorrow's 67 will be amazing. Might say to hell with work and hit the trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Ok, the EURO has 21z temps of 39-46 on Thurs. Can this be right?? Low 40s at basically the start of June in the afternoon?? That would be record cold.... by about 10 degrees! Looks too cold to me given that 850 mb temps don't go below 0. I'd say highs in the 50's are more likely.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well, today's 12z Euro has gone less cold and less wet for this area with the Thursday/Friday storm. It's progressing the storm farther east before it wraps up. Instead of mid 40s with a real good rain, it's now mid 50s with light rain. Wisconsin doesn't even get much of any rain at all from this run. We really need 1+" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Using the MOST conservative numbers for Detroit (highs of 60*F tomorrow and 50*F Thursday, with 45*F lows both days), Detroit should still have a solidly top 10 warmest May on record (6th), with an average of 64.6*F. Top 5 is still easily in reach. Th warmest Spring record currently (2010), with an average of 53.1*F, will also still be shattered, with an average of 54.9*F.

michsnowfreak Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Had 0.70" of rain today here! One of the jackpots in SE MI I assume. DTW only had 0.19", some spots had zip. 0.18" came around 4am in a storm where I lost power for a few hours, and the thunder woke me out of a sound sleep....the other 0.52" came in a heavy storm around 9am. Now for the cool-down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The rain gauge yesterday showed about 1/3" of rain, but I'm betting it was WAY more than that. Most of the time it was blowing sideways so I think most of it missed the gauge funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The rain gauge yesterday showed about 1/3" of rain, but I'm betting it was WAY more than that. Most of the time it was blowing sideways so I think most of it missed the gauge funnel. The only thing that matters when measuring rain is the component of the droplet velocity perpendicular to the ground, like any other flux, so sideways motion doesn't matter theoretically. Not 100% sure though since there might be some caveats for measuring rain in a windy/turbulent environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nice day today, but too windy! Common gusts have been around 30 mph. High 80° today ~ won't be seeing that kind of warmth for at least 5 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 One more day in the upper 80's and then some nice temperatures will finally arrive. I hope we get some severe weather on Thursday. We may not hit 70 on Friday! Bring it on. Average high this time of year is 80 so this will be way below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure though since there might be some caveats for measuring rain in a windy/turbulent environment. Interesting. In this case I think it matters quite a bit though because there's a lot of trees around that block some of the wind/rain upwind from the rain gauge. Normally the trees have no effect on this particular rain gauge, but when the rain is coming in at about a 10° angle there's no question the trees and surrounding buildings impact accurate readings.
