dmc76 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Friend on facebook posted a pic of the sky from Troy. And one of my friends is headed down to meet me and he just drove through it and he said in his rearview mirror the sky is black, looks like the end of the world lol. It's truly amazing what I'm looking at to my north I see some what clear skies and to my south that wall of black that is just not nudging this way I hear it continuous amounts of thunder and see tons of lightning but is not moving at all.

cyclone77 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nice day here. Made it to 80, 81 at MLI. Ground already dry again with the last significant rain already almost a week ago. Looks like mid 40s tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central MI/Saginaw Valley could not have asked for better snow storm set-up. I wonder if spots would have topped 20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 They may gradually rotate SE into the higher instability and as the surface low slowly moves east. Good call, though it was probably more the storms pushing SE off their own outflow than the low moving (never ending up anything besides a light rain IMBY either) Central MI/Saginaw Valley could not have asked for better snow storm set-up. I wonder if spots would have topped 20" You've mentioned that a couple times now, enough. Comparing early August systems to winter and thinking "what if?" every time you see some sort of deformation zone-esque thing is stupid and pointless. Obviously MI wont be seeing any snowstorms where places receive 6"+ of liquid. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Quite a nice day - autumn feeling. High 72° with AM lake showers and gusty northerly winds all day. 1.18" of rain in the last 36 hours. 70 minutes of daylight lost since solstice now.

Jonger Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This is the most impressive August lake effect event I have ever seen. Look at the rain being produced from Lake St.Clair. The water temp has to be 25 degrees warmer then the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Today was nice, but far from autumn-like with a high of 80. Compared to the recent heat though it felt cool, especially with the low humidity. Tomorrow looks like another fantastic day with highs near 80 again. DVN still beating the drum on a cool pattern setting up the next 14 days.... ...IN WAKE OF FRONT ON FRI INTO NEXT WEEKEND EXPECT UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR WITH NEAR RECORD TO RECORD COOL TEMPS POSSIBLE. HIGHS COULD POSSIBLY STRUGGLE TO HIT 70 SOME AREAS ON FRI AND MAYBE EVEN SAT WHILE LOWS WELL DOWN IN THE 40S WITH POSSIBLY SOME U30S IN FAVORED COLD DRAINAGE LOCATIONS. NEXT ANOMALOUSLY DEEP TROUGH SUGGESTED BY MID-LATE PORTION OF WEEK OF 8/19 - 8/25 WITH YET ANOTHER SHOT OF COOL AIR AND GOOD RAIN CHCS. OVERALL IT APPEARS WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A TRULY REMARKABLE SHIFT IN THE UPPER AIR PATTERN /REVERSAL OF FORTUNE/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Down to 58°/49° at 11pm. Some cool clouds early this evening on the back side of the departing system. Just realized that the NAM has 45° for Kenosha tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Sparta was 39F this morning... Black River Falls came in the lowest at 35F (BRF is north of Sparta maybe 30 miles)... Probably some scattered frost out there somewhere this morning. Good for the apple crap in this area... Those apples sweeten up with the cooler wx...
