Chambana Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Tagged 93 here today. Friday and Saturdays highs have been upped to 93,94 respectively. Classic late summer heatwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Still 89 degrees at 630PM pretty impressive given the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just missed 90*F at DTW. Only a high of 89*F thanks to convection. I'll settle for it since there was at least some decent thunderstorm action today, which seems even more rare than a 90 degree high this year.

Geos Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Wind shift is going to feel like a pneumonia front when it comes through for everyone else in the area. 71°/66° currently. Fog and mid 60s at the lakeshore up here. Ran into a few brief showers near the state line, but the air mass was already too stable for them to fire up further.

Stebo Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Not the best shots because I didn't figure out how to work my phone's cam in time but I did take a few pictures of the lightning as the storm is passing to my southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Man this storm to my SE over Lake Erie is going absolutely bananas, nonstop lightning for the last 20 minutes. It's been a pretty good day for lightning, no doubt. Saw numerous CTG lightning strikes myself with the early/mid-afternoon storms, something that's been MIA until all season until today.

Powerball Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Had a few non-severe hailers here as well (not IMBY, but around Metro Detroit). A Flash Flood Watch was issued for the northern suburbs, as these storms easily produced 1-4" of rain in a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'll settle for it since there was at least some decent thunderstorm action today, which seems even more rare than a 90 degree high this year. No disagreement there. And we had full hazy sunshine through midday to tote (another thing that's been rare on days with t'storm potential).

We dropped about 15-20 degrees as well with a wind shift to the east when the storms came through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nice Stebo...thanks for sharing! 90 on the bank clock on the way home from bass pro with boys at 7:30 pm on September 3rd....not too shabby in the temp department.

DAFF Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Anyone ever been struck by lightning before ?? Or had a close call?? Today with the first front of storms I experienced a very close strike. So close that I heard and felt the streamer just before the strike. It sounded just like a Tesla coil over my head.

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Had a CLG Lightning bolt hit my shed earlier, no damage just a little charring. CIPS Analog showing widespread scattered SVR next week: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Had a CLG Lightning bolt hit my shed earlier, no damage just a little charring. CIPS Analog showing widespread scattered SVR next week: There's definitely tons of potential given the strong upper level jet entering the west coast. But as always, it's going to be a matter of how well the shortwaves phase with each other and where. I can easily envision a scenario where we instead get a strung out POS front across the Ohio Valley and just another heavy rain/training setup.

Today with the first front of storms I experienced a very close strike. So close that I heard and felt the streamer just before the strike. It sounded just like a Tesla coil over my head. My home took a hit 4 or 5 years ago...in the middle of the night...most of the electric in the home was fried. The craziest was my cell that was plugged in charging at the time. It was too hot to even touch for a good 30 minutes. Needless to say it was one of the loudest darn things I have ever heard. Ears were ringing for a few days.

DAFF Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was chaining down a skid steer standing on the road as it happened. Large trees all around me and it was raining very hard. I will never forget the sounds and smell of that moment, the buzz of electricity was so definitive before the strike. I'm thinking it hit the canopy of trees above me.
