IWXwx Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hmm very unstable atmosphere with 30 kts of shear driven by a weak shortwave coming thru in prime time. Definitely might be the beginnings of a bow echo Maybe. I don't think we even have 30 kts. I'll be out spotting just in case. Besides, I really enjoy being out in the middle of flat farmland around and watch storms roll through, severe or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 She's absolutely trying to bow out. Huge pocket of 3000+ J/kg over NW Ohio right now too to strengthen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Nice gust front visible on radar. I'm wondering if the warning was dropped simply due to lack of radar visibility since its on top of the IWX site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Barring a last second miracle, Detroit gets shut out AGAIN for any sort of rain. This is very bad. Latest frames show the line's TRYING to fill in. The instability's certainly there for it to do so. But still, even if it doesn't, it'll be nowhere near the type of shut out everyone else on here expected earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 For those in the Detroit area who haven't seen anything so far, an blob of stratiform rain looks to be expanding to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1vek Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 My lawn prays for this rain. It's been something else watching rain fall apart on radar these past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I would expect D0 to show up around here. Sounds like more of SE MI should be put into D0 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Another way to look at it is average rain per week. The numbers vary but outside of the far northern areas, most places average about .75-1.00" rain per week at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 For those in the Detroit area who haven't seen anything so far, an blob of stratiform rain looks to be expanding to the west. Storms to our north, east and south, while we slide by dry again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Storms to our north, east and south, while we slide by dry again... Got sprinkles here, and it looks like areas from DTW to downtown got solid light rain, so not a total shut out as far as precipitation for everyone.

chances14 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The stratiform rain was enough to dampen the pavement, but areas underneath trees and shrubbery didn't even get wet. better than here. got a few sprinkles that dried up as soon as it hit the pavement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 My wife reported 5 sprinkles in Pinckney, Howell came in with a goose egg. Not a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm not a meteorologist, but I would have to assume the dry ground is resulting in lower humidity and cutting off our moisture feed into upper levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We could really be setting up to fry around here if we get the right pattern. The way the grass looks around here, you could start it on fire and it would spread through the entire town and burn it all down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd let the grass dry out, but it always gets diseased if I let it go too long without water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 At this point I gave up on the lawn. Even the lawns with sprinklers in the neighborhood are brown as can be. Just isn't worth it when there is no help at all from mother nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do reach a point where the dryness feeds back into the atmosphere and gets into a cycle. That's why there's some truth to dry begets dry. The cycle is not unbreakable of course...it will end at some point but not in the near term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Got sprinkles here, and it looks like areas from DTW to downtown got solid light rain, so not a total shut out as far as precipitation for everyone. Measured a trace at the airport, as for here I think I had 5 sprinkles hit me walking to the car. You do reach a point where the dryness feeds back into the atmosphere and gets into a cycle. That's why there's some truth to dry begets dry. The cycle is not unbreakable of course...it will end at some point but not in the near term. See it is weird though, we are dry here but really around us everyone has had rain even to day north south and east, hell this morning you could include west. It is really SE and NE MI that are hurting bad. So even though it has been dry, you look at today, it didn't take much to advect in moisture. We were technically moist but without the rainfall.

michsnowfreak Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The stratiform rain was enough to dampen the pavement, but areas underneath trees and shrubbery didn't even get wet. Got 0.01" imby, 0.77" on the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Got 0.01" imby, 0.77" on the month. wow! and with the highest sun of the year aiding, it must be really dry looking. probably will affect the fall color at this point unless there's a soaker soon.

Chambana Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Looping the GFS through 384, shows little in the way of relief coming to Michigan for the drought. not good. Actually IF that were to verify some places would only receive 0.25-0.50" of rain over the next 2-3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
