Geos Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 84° as of 11:30 here. Quite a few clouds this morning. Cloudy atm. Low of 74° this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Heatwave is effectively over here. Started out very warm today, was already 85 at 9am. Clouds and brief shower knocked us back into the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 ORD up to 90 as of noon. Record for the date is 93 (1977) and the record warmest Memorial Day is also 93 (1953 & 1942). It will probably be close, as clouds associated with the pre-frontal showers will be moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 88° now. Lots of clouds and slightly cooler air is moving in under the dying showers coming in. The window of opportunity for a 90° is closing quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Temps made a very quick recovery here. After nearly calm conditions awhile ago we're getting strong southwest winds now. Really heating up out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 92/58 here now. Strong heating. Am expecting a better potential for a squall line today than I have all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow, impressive for ORD! I thought they would miss the record or tie it only today. Hit 89.2° here, now getting a strong west wind out of those dying showers. Fell one degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 91 here at Midway. Clouds and wind make it more bearable. Nonetheless, I love the heat. If it was 90 every day I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Detroit's high so far is 95*F, which not only breaks the previous daily record of 92*F, but I believe ties the all-time May record of 95*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also broke the all-time May record for highest daily min at ORD. The old record was 75, set on numerous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Geos Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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!
