ORD up to 90 as of noon.

Record for the date is 93 (1977) and the record warmest Memorial Day is also 93 (1950).

It will probably be close, as clouds associated with the pre-frontal showers will be moving in.

ORD is up to 95...records broken.

5F jump in the past hour, even with high clouds. Highest temp in the area too, with PWK the only site close (92).

Hit 91°, probably the high since it has fallen off to 89° now with cloudy skies. Kind of a strange warm spell given the absence of high dewpoints - not complaining about it though!

Need the corn to really start getting tall and full. Thats when your dews will kick up.

Don't really appreciate the corn sweat. Needs to rain more first of all otherwise the corn won't have enough moisture to sweat with!

It should come as no surprise that DTW, once again, was one of the hottest official temps in the area yesterday at 95F by several degrees. Though this time, we matched them here in Wyandotte (94.8F) as did a few other places. (There was even a 98F reported in Ypsilanti, but the two thermometers that are always suspicious are those of warm daytime highs in ypsilanti and cold nightime lows in Ann Arbor (ARB)). The high in Detroit City was 92F, interesting because I cant give them the water aspect as to why they didnt hit 95F when we are right on the water in Wyandotte and hit 95. Regardless, just about everyone was in the 90s in SE MI, so after underperforming 5-10F each of the previous 2 days, we were dead on yesterday.

This officially broke the daily record by 3F, and ties May 31, 1895 for the warmest May temp (95F). Just a little more than 48 hours after sweltering in the mid-90s, we will be making a nosedive for the mid-40s.

I didn't save the image (I started to, because I figured you would say somthing like that), but I can assure you there was a very notable lake breeze that did move inland, northeast, from Lake St. Clair (it showed up perfectly on radar, and note the wind shift to the south at City Airport). RAP also picked up on it perfectly well, and so did DTX as they were only forecasting upper 80s versus the low-mid 90s for the inland aras. Through early afternoon however, City Airport was beating every other site in the area.

It probably didn't have as much of an impact downriver because Lak St. Clair is a much larger body of water than the Detroit River.

I was not paying attention to the weather conditions much as I wasnt around the computer, only saw the final high temps, so I do believe you about the lake breeze. And trust me, when I say something about DTW vs DET/rest of SE MI, it has to do with the suspicious nature of how DTW is always warmer than everyone (including a wunderground weather station located in Romulus RIGHT by the airport), not being suspect of DET being too low. DTW has been racking up plenty of stat-padding degrees in an already above-avg temperature regime the last many months, though as said with several others 95s yesterday, I wouldnt consider yesterday one of those stat-padding days.

The heat wave underperformed here. Saturday wasn't supposed to be hot, but still warm.

Sat: Forecast High: 75°, actual: 66°

Sun: Forecast High: 94°, actual: 85°

Mon: Forecast High: 89°, actual: 91°

All time high that I've seen in May is 94° - that backyard record still stands!
