Hoosier Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 LOT issued a flood advisory for parts of Cook and Lake county IN. Unless we see some collapse in the storm intensities, radar trends would suggest a flash flood warning may be needed before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Storms have been stationary over Wayne county for the past hour or so. Could get interesting. At least we're getting a good drenching out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinois Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 This July would not stick out in my area based on temperatures, being that there was some hot temperatures, it's been the humidity that has really caused it to be oppressive in southeastern Illinois.

cyclone77 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Almost a half inch of rain so far today. Starting to rain again with quite a bit of thunder. Now over 6" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My bro 6 miles northwest of town had over 3.5" of rain early this eve from a stationary storm. Finished with 0.64" here for the day, and 6.34" for June now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I did not get anything from this system, so my final July rain total should be 4.63". Our last rainfall was the 22nd, so by next week we'll be wanting something decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 On 7/26/2016 at 8:35 PM, Trent said: CLE is currently sitting at 5th warmest July on record with just 5 days left in the month. It's certainly been hot here, just didn't realize how this stacked up to other months. I think what will bring temps down later this week and take us potentially away from record territory are the overnight lows. With moderate drought conditions present its much easier to cool off at night. +3.2F is the 5th warmest? Summer sure doesn't have the range of anomalies as the other 3 seasons apparently.

No it doesn't. Even during the brutally hot summer of 2012, the sub as a whole was only +3 and +4 for JJA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that number is based on the 1980-2010 data set which for CLE was 1.7 degrees warmer annually than the 1970-2000 data set. Those monthly departures would be much larger if it was compared to all years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 We apparently had one heck of an isolated thunderstorm in Wyandotte yesterday. Came home to puddles and 1.35" in rain gauge from the early afternoon storm (where per wunderground the temp dropped to 68F). Also heard a nearby freeway briefly closed due to flooding. Meanwhile, by my own confirmation, not a drop from Farmington Hills to St Clair Shores to DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thats quite an odd jump in Clevelands avg temp for July for one decade. Regardless, Jonger has a point. No matter how you look at it, for some reason, summer extremes (both cold and warm) are much closer to the mean than any of the other 3 seasons. Average July temps have overall not changed much at Detroit since records began (didnt incl 1870s or 2010s due to not complete data sets) 1880s- 72.1 1890s- 71.9 1900s- 72.3 1910s- 73.1 1920s- 72.6 1930s- 74.7 1940s- 73.3 1950s- 73.6 1960s- 72.3 1970s- 72.0 1980s- 73.5 1990s- 73.3 2000s- 73.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Another day where the heavy low overcast in the morning lifts, breaks apart, and quickly grows into congestive cu by noon. Lots of towering cu around with a few isolated downpours. Picked up 0.01" from a little shower earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom claimed there was rain on this side of town yesterday afternoon, and then we had a brief (maybe a couple minutes long at best) heavy rain shower this morning around sunrise. But that's about it. Certainly nothing impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My parents in Toledo texted me and said they got 1.5" just today, and a little rain yesterday. That kind of breaks a dry spell. My dad said he hasn't mowed the lawn much in weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high sun angle makes it more difficult to have days that are way below average, and abundant vegetation/crops often keeps high temps from getting out of control.

Also, given the higher density of cold air, it's a lot easier to see sustained "extreme" cold than it is to see sustained "extreme" heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Cleveland will end up having a top 10 warmest ANY month on record for this month. Looks like Detroit will come close for their top 10 as well. 1) 79.1 - Jul 1955 2) 78.0 - Jul 2012 3) 77.8 - Aug 1947 4) 77.7 - Aug 1995 4) 77.7 - Jul 1949 6) 77.6 - Jul 2011 7) 76.8 - Jul 1921 76.8 Jul 2016 (Through the 30th, might drop to 76.7 today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Looks like we may go a day without rain. Last eve I was mowing, and watched as a conglomeration of congestive cu organized right overhead and began dumping heavy rain about a mile to the south. Had a few bursts of large/cold drops from the ominous cloud base as it slowly drifted overhead. If it had organized a few minutes earlier I would have been chased inside. Got lucky.

Powerball Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Based on today's high of 86*F and a low so far of 67*F, DTW may just have a +3*F departure for July (with an average temp of 76.8*F), and this will possibly tie for the 8th warmest July on record (along with 1999 and 1991). Will have to wait until tomorrow morning to confirm for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 10 90+ days in July and 17 days above 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
