daddylonglegs Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 NWS says sunshine fail...showing a good shot at rain tomorrow and has clouds/rain moving back already Sat afternoon/evening... my God this pattern is bad...its one thing to have cool temps, but the constant showers, clouds, light rain and drizzle get a little old. This must be like summer in coastal Alaska is like. My conifers look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 DLL - got any moss growing from the trees yet!? On the ground moss has been doing pretty good. Few lichens & mushrooms here and there also. Some clearing trying to push its way into the region from the west. I hope it makes it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 2 in the afternoon and only 52 at MKE, awesome Yeah, even the lovers of cool summer weather like myself are starting to get a bit restless, two straight days of 50s, clouds, and drizzle is awful. I like rain, but if it is light nothing, I'd rather it be partly sunny or something of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Luckily this is about the coolest and gloomiest start to a summer and June that is possible; three yucky days out of six, and even the three remaining days were a bit cloudy and cool at times. The summer can only get better from here, even if there is occasional intense heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Come west.... The NWS has 1!!!! ONE sunny day in the next 7...chance or rain every other day then this coming Saturday...give me a break... Starting to wonder if my fruit trees are going to do anything with all this rain..i would think fungal infections would start blooming soon. Cloudy here today...but I dont mind it one bit. As I said I honestly cannot imagine better start to met summer. Its not a damp chill like you have, but heat has been nonexistent as well. DTW high/low/departures this June...also...only rain has been in the wee morning hours June 1st 6/1: 81F/64F....+8F 6/2: 74F/55F......0F 6/3: 68F/46F.....-9F 6/4: 72F/50F.....-5F 6/5: 74F/53F.....-2F 6/6: 69F/57F.....-4F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 So with a high of 54 at MKE, this will go down in the record books as tie for second coldest high temperature record on June 6th. Or in other words its been over 100 years since it was this cold on this date. 06/06/1881 53 06/06/1894 54 06/06/1910 54 06/06/2013 54 06/06/1935 55 06/06/1986 55 06/06/2013 55 Edit: I guess 54 wont be the high since MKE is now at 55.

michsnowfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I personally like the cool temperatures but I wish the sun was out. I was at todays Tigers game...and its AMAZING the difference the sun makes (keep in mind we are just 2 weeks away from the sun's strongest angle). It was definitely hoodie weather in the upper deck (low 60s, gray, breeze). Then a few glimpse of sun peaked through the overcast midgame and its crazy how much warmer it briefly felt...then as soon as it went away, felt much cooler.

michsnowfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 La Crosse hi/low 74/53 64/47 72/46 60/55 59/53 add in over an inch of precip spread over the last 3 days and 8.5 inches of rain in May This is suicide weather...people will start going nuts and jumping off tall buildings if it doesn't change. lol Im sure it will change. Its funny because I know you always joke with us in MI how cloudy our winters are...and its true...but Ill bet DTW has seen almost twice sunshine this June as LSE (neither place keeps sunshine data anymore). I can tell you today was our first genuinely solid overcast day of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I enjoy low-mid 60's, because if the sun is out, it will probably feel closer to 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Brewers that is exactly the reason for my preference for 60s especially with high sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I personally like the cool temperatures but I wish the sun was out. +1 Was lucky to see some sun today down here. Temperature responds quickly to the sun this time of year despite the lake being -5° cooler than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Crazy...drizzle came in around 3pm and rain followed..been raining NON stop since then.. Radar isn't even that impressive... craziness..some sort of vortex of cloudiness hell has set up over here. I know Minneapolis had the 3rd cloudiest May on record ...so i would guess we would be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 One thing is for certain those riding that "follow the trend of 10, 11, 12 summers are in for a surprise" this summer will bot rival those, that is for certain. Especially 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Another gorgeous day. Wondering if/hoping this summer will do the same thing winter of 2011-12 did. Following a string of several near-record snowy winters, the other shoe dropped in 2011-12. Now, after a string of near-record hot summers, will the other shoe drop? I sure hope so!
