Nine straight below average days at MKE, and we're likely working on a tenth with a morning low in the low to mid 50s, and high topping out in the upper 70s at best.  This has been a sneaky impressive cool spell, it looked like it would be seasonable, but the constant cooling fog and the difficulty to get sun until yesterday have contributed to it.

Impressive difference between Madison and Milwaukee for this month.  Madison is +3.0 and Milwaukee is -1.4

I wish all Junes could be like this one.  In addition to the regular rain & storms, the temp has been consistently pleasant.  We have not gone above 86 degrees since June 1st.  There have been several days in which clouds have overspread the area and held the temp down... today being another.

Yeah, just looked at that myself, this is definitely looking like it could be another year of no summer, much different than '09 though because the departures were actually greater in the negative category that year away from the lakes.

Here's a comparison between June 2014 and June 2009.  The below average temps are much more localized this time around.

Yeah, no question, one of the few regions with below average temps in a sea of bright warm colors.  That cool dense lake air is doing a number on our climate.  This is for a different thread sometime, but it makes you wonder what happens if lake areas have a cool summer and a cool fall, what implications that may have in the end for next winter?

I was very concerned about this being a year of no summer for upper midwest, RFD included. All the doom and gloom being propagated along with the snowfall in late May, and Mays ups and downs - I was really bumming. Alas it was for naught - June has been an absolutely fantastic month here, this is the perfect kind of summer IMO, and to be honest today when I walked out and saw the haze and felt the heat I said to myself, Yes, this is summer. Sure don't think I would be cut out for living by the lake. Sounds horrible by my standards.

This is where stat pulling comes in handy...

 

For ORD...Stats showed 10 out of the 13 summers following a top 10 cold or snowy winter ended up close to or above normal temp wise.

1969/70    74.1

2010/11    74

1961/62    72.6

2007/08    72.5

AVG......    71.8

1977/78    71.7

1978/79    71.3

1973/74    71.3

1917/18    71.3

Kind of random, but a massive fire happening on the west side of Detroit is showing up as a thin plume on radar, extending from just outside of downtown Detroit into southern Oakland county.

It's a pretty clear day so I can see it rising into the sky several miles away.

Apparently, there's some kind of controlled burn going on near Harsens Island that's going pretty crazy right now too as seen on the north shore of Lake St. Clair.

Touched 86F this afternoon...the dew did drop from 71F to 65F (??) later so it was quite so greasy on the bike.  River is very high and the flow is crazy fast (not good for weekend boating). 

Weird that the real heat has been more or less absent.  Not sure how many 90F plus days we are going to clock in this summer...on the flip side...i can't get a day when the dew drops below 60F ...   Plant growth has been amazing...mowing every few days...  purple cone flowers are just putting out petals right now.

I noticed the bolded.

 

It led to a pretty expansive Cirrostratus deck that you could see down here in NE Detroit. I didn't know where it was from though.

I didn't want to start a thread on this, but there's not really a good place to put it, so I'll post it here. Interesting stats from IWX on their Facebook page-

 

Interesting severe weather statistics of the day.

*We have not issued a tornado warning for our forecast area yet in 2014.

*In the past 5 years, the average date for the first tornado warning issued was May 11th and the latest in the year was June 29, 2012.

*We have only issued 45 severe thunderstorm warnings so far this year. We had issued 86 by the end of June 2013.

*In 2011, we had already issued 124 severe thunderstorm warnings by the end of June.
