The 40s for dews from early yesterday are a distant memory now.  Dew sitting at 70 this evening.  Made it to 88 earlier today.  Heat index made it to 91.

 

Some storms heading this way, and we're under a new storm watch.  Second one of the day.  The first one was for a wave of storms that crapped the bed before reaching here.  This next wave looks pretty strong, so it may make it down here with some heavy rain and gusty winds.

DET looked to be running a bit warm the last few days. I wonder if something is wrong with the sensor? They maxed at 91F today. They were at 89F at 7pm when everyone else was between 79-85.

 

DTW maxed at 89F.

 

As far as today, the temps matched exactly with what the RAP and the 4km NAM showed. It's normal for DET to be warmer than the other sites on days like this, with the aide of downsloping from the higher elevation to the west. Monroe hit 90*F also while Mt. Clemens hit 89*F. 

 

It's probably something that can be looked into (to be fair, DET was in line with the other sites on 6/14/13), I haven't noticed a large enough discrepancy to raise any eye brows though.

This powerful line of storms came within about 20 miles from here before crapping the bed.  Can't buy a decent storm around here so far this year, but more opportunities in coming days.

The Quad Cities seem to have bad luck with storms (if you're a storm lover), especially considering they're closer to the prime storm region of the Plains into Iowa, and considering they don't have to worry about a lake stabilizing their region.  I'd probably be banned by now if I lived there lol.

Classic summertime posting. Hoosier humping the model that gives LAF the highest temps and Powerball's 90 temp fail at DTW angst.

 

 

Not humping...it's been notoriously too hot in recent years but has done pretty well with some of the warmer days this year for whatever reason.  Looks like it's going to be wrong today though unless we get a miraculous 7-8 degree rise.

FWA gets the Indiana golden torch award today with a high of 93º.

 

90º fail for IND and LAF. Should put #1 of the year for both on the board tomorrow though. 

 

The airport stole LAF's thermometer. :devilsmiley:  It actually didn't feel too oppressive with 25-30 MPH winds and gusts to 40.

lake breeze, 75 with low humidity.

 

meanwhile a nuclear cap and 90s lurk just west

 

best climo

 

Yeah, for sure.  It was low to mid 70s most of the evening, then we got a soaking thunderstorm with a ton of lightning.  Truly is a nice climo all in all in much of our subforum.
