Agreed, especially since there was some convective debris along the I-94 corridor around midday. 

 

It would be nice if we can get in on a t'storm this evening. I see downtown already got a pop up cell.

 

It looks like the best we're going to muster up is outflow gusts.

 

Oh well.

8th 90F day of the year today at DTW. While 2015 will still finish below the normal of 12, this is the most we have had since 2012.

 

These first few days of September are arguably the most "oppressive" days of a summer which has lacked extreme heat.

 

Despite 8 days of 90F, they have all been 90F-92F....

92F - 1 time

91F - 4 times

90F - 3 times

 

With the hottest temp of this summer being 92F, only 15 times since records began in 1874 has Detroits hottest temp of the year been 91F or cooler. In the last 100 years, this has only happened 4 times.

 

Several of those 90-91F days most of SE MI did stay in the upper 80s, and in fact today was only the 4th 90F of the year at DET, the hottest temp of the year there being 91F. DET was cooler every month this summer than DTW. My how times have changed.

 

90F+ days....DTW....DET

2015 ----------- 8 ------ 4

2014 ----------- 4 ------ 6

2013 ----------- 7 ------ 7

2012 ---------- 30 ---- 25

2011 ---------- 23 ---- 23

2010 ---------- 17 ---- 14

2009 ----------- 4 ------ 3

2008 ----------- 7 ------ 8

2007 ---------- 14 ---- 14

2006 ---------- 11 ---- 11

Meanwhile, back in 1953 the nation was broiling in a record-setting heatwave. Many cities from the Plains right to the east coast set records for the longest heatwave on record.

Yeah, I actually was driving through downtown when that one cell popped up. It was really small, it basically only stretched from the central business district down to the Ambassador bridge. At my house you would never know anything even happened.

Chicago had back to back highs of 101 on September 1 and 2, while Indianapolis hit 100 on both of those days.

Today ended up being the warmest day; as a whole, for the year with the low being way up at 72°.

These Dog Days belong in July and August, not September imo! 

 

Edit: Few storms popping near the lake up this way tonight.

That was one intense storm I had to drive in coming to work. Tons of CG including one that hit the tall highway lights at 94 and the Lodge right as I passed by. Of course it missed the airport mostly but I am there are parts of the area that got over .50" of rain.

I live about 2 miles northeast of DTW now and it was a lot more disorganized there, but we did get some brief torrential downpours. I haven't set up my rain gauge yet but it seemed like we were a quarter of an inch or less.

Meanwhile, downtown where I am at the moment is getting a huge lightning show from the convection building right along the riverfront and on Belle Isle.
