After a very comfortable start to the day in the 50s (DTWs low of 59 replaces an earlier day at 60 as the lowest temp of July so far), it really warmed up during the afternoon. But how the HELL did DTW hit 90F? LOL Their highest hourly ob was 87, yet at some point intra-hour they hit 90? High here in Wyandotte was 86, high at DET 88, most of SE MI between 85-88. DTWs only company at 90 (big surprise) was Torch-silanti. (YIP).

Rumor has it that the YIP station has been fixed and re-calibrated.

Now that 90*F does sound suspicious this time.

But I'm not complaining, if the cirrostratus can get out of here we'll have yet another heatwave to tack on for this season (officially).

12z NAM looking good for southern WI, northern IL, and northern IN.

Maybe we can get in on some of that. If these repeated complexes pan out then could start to see a dent in the drought to the north. Farther south is a different story I'm afraid.

Maybe. We're close enough to getting some love it seems. But yeah, some improvement for the aforementioned areas could be realized.

83 right now but with clouds rolling in I don't see temperatures rising much more.

Cooler yet down here - 79° with a few sprinkles. 90° does not seem realistic looking at the satellite right now.

So far, the re-calibration of Detroit Willow Run has done nothing to address the 3*F+ temperature difference.

86*F vs. 83*F at Metro Airport.

Obviously it's too early to tell, but maybe nothing is wrong with its observations and the site's just naturally torchy for geographical reasons.

Big difference between NAM/GFS with winds tomorrow. NAM suggests gusts of 25-30 mph by late afternoon while the GFS is much weaker. Could be elevated fire danger if the NAM verifies as T/Td spreads look large as well.
