2015 Spring/Summer Banter & complaint thread

It's getting pretty ridiculous at this point. Complaints about crapvection ring hollow when we can't even manage anything that exciting. Finally frontal timing looked pretty good, but once again we're screwed over by stratiform rain.

 

if it's any consolation, my life is great, babes, bucks, boomers, I got it all!

Maybe way up there, but for most of the metro we have already received .5-1.00 with even more near the border.

I'm fed up with this pattern it's nothing but clouds and very light rain for the last several days. Everything for the most part missed this area. Tonight looks like another tease.

Again for you maybe, but for the majority of the metro area naso much.

You're obviously assuming those will hold together and make it all the way over here? To me it looks like some of that as we speak is losing punch as it crosses Lake Michigan and I don't see any of that in Indiana making it this far north (94 corridor) to be honest.

Your reasoning makes no sense though, the mean flow says that the stuff in IN should be moving this way and the stuff to the north is slowly sagging south. The LLJ is progged to move into the area tonight which if anything should maintain or increase convection.

1. There's plenty of instability over MI. LI's up to -6. Cape between 1000-1500. Bulk shear of 30-40 knots. PWAT's over 2. And with the addition of LLJ in the SE corner of MI (per DTX AFD) the storms will only continue to blossom and congeal. There's no way this will lose punch. I dont think there will be widespread severe, but drenching rain is almost certain.

Do you think with the cold front moving south would insure that cluster in NW Indiana to stay south or along the state-line?

Cold front isn't moving south fast enough keep the rain shield south of the border. Most of the metro area should see heavy rain tonight.

The LLJ can help to expand the rain shield our direction, but the stronger storms (which is what I think dmc76 is concerned about) will stay in OH/IN with the better instability. 

 

And yes, the LLJ COULD also help to ignite new convection, but it won't be nearly as intense/widespread as the convection to the south, where the best theta-e advection and convergence lies...

Honestly, you haven't missed much.

 

The only part of our area that's seen any formidable convection (not including the Ann Arbor flood yesterday) is Lenawee and Monroe Counties. Otherwise, it's just been garden variety stuff at best.
