Geos Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 A scant 0.07" of rain today so far. Haven't heard any thunder since the 10th here. Made it to 81°, which is the 4th time at or above 80° this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 PRetty impressive temperature gradient on the 00z NAM for tomorrow 83*F at DTW and 47*F at New Baltimore... Probably overdone with that 47. It would be incredible if there were almost 40 degree difference like that. Hell I don't even think southern lake huron is that cold anymore. Last I checked it was in the low 50s.

cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Just had a brief thunderless tropical downpour that added another 0.17" for the day. Now up to 0.39". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Haven't touched the thermostat in a month and a half and have only closed the windows for a day or 2 in that timeframe. Glorious night tonight. Saw that better looking cell out by you cyclone....hearing thunder is like finding a ten dollar bill in the cushions this spring so far...a rare moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I don't even think southern lake huron is that cold anymore. Last I checked it was in the low 50s. Some of that is probably due to convective downdrafts also. But even with a gradient less extreme, that's still pretty darn impressive for late May. Those who are out during the late afternoon hours would be in for quite a shock.

Powerball Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 What's also impressive is that we've stayed at/above 70*F all night. That's a couple degrees warmer than the models progged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 DTX has dropped highs tomorrow 10 degrees over what they forecast yesterday. They now forecast a high for DTW of 51F. And it could easily go a bit lower. Just crazy. The record cold high tomorrow is 46F set in 1910, during an anomalous day when a rain/snow mix occurred at Detroit for what is by far Detroits latest flakes. However the next coldest high for May 31st is 54F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 It will be irritating to have one rogue day on the LAST day of May **** up this month's warm anomalies, possibly by as much as a degree or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 for the last of May, baby it's cold! Currently 42 degrees (wind chill 34) and the high today is going nowhere... forecast is 43. strong north wind off Superior all day! Actually feels nice and more importantly, there are no bugs out today. HALLELUJAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly would be worse if you had a midnight high of 70F or something like that, and then most of the day was in the 40s and 50s, because the anomalies would be misleading and it would not have felt as warm as the stats say.

It's been an abnormally warm week and month overall though, so that wouldn't really be as bothersome to keep the final numbers from being dragged down by one abnormally cold day. In fact, tomorrow could be Detroit's coldest day this month if the trends continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 2014 says "Hi!" It ended up 13th coldest Nov on record....had the 30th been a seasonable day (rather than a 1-day ill-timed torch) it would have been the 8th coldest.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The latest system was another disappointment... limited shear, limited instability. Few locations around here got much of anything. I finished with 0.09". May was an odd month. Tempwise and precipwise, it was a pretty normal month. There was no real heat, but we had a fair number of near avg, above avg, and below avg days. Rainfall in my yard finished at 4.48". However, stormwise, the month was also filled with one dud system after another. A few times there was a slight risk of severe storms, but nothing ever came close to panning out. It was nearly a thunderless month, which is even more notable given that the pattern was rather active and I had rainfall on twelve days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
