There is a chance that Grand Rapids will set a record rain fall amount for today.  So far Grand Rapids has recorded 1.76” of rain and the record for this date is 1.78” recorded in 1993.  The 1.76 amount is good for 2nd place. So far October 2016 is now at 5.11” here at Grand Rapids (1.60” is average) and for the year Grand Rapids is now at 39.05” and that is already well above the average of 34.40” so this has been a wet year!

Detroit spent most of the night in the mid/upper 60s, as DTW's official low so far has been 64*F.

That's actually a couple degrees above the average high. 

That is a tie for a record min for the date if it can hold through this batch of rain and until midnight.

If you like to see a map with a lot of wen cam locations on it here is one from the MDOT. While the pictures from some of the cams are not that good (some are better than others) most have a temperature indicator so you can see the temperature (not sure where the readings are from) along with the cam.

A quick check of point&click forecast shows Cleveland at 83 tomorrow-- one degree above the record. Probably a similar one-degree forecast above record at Columbus and Toledo. Weatherbell's NDFD temperature vs. records page shows several records in jeopardy tomorrow from Amarillo to Cleveland. Then the major cities of the Northeast should break records Tuesday and Wednesday. Denver and Fort Collins broke records yesterday.

53 this morning which is warmer than the normal high for the date. Storms with lots of thunder and lightening overnight. High today 65! Is this October?

It is 70 degrees here this morning.  Moline is 72.  This has to be pretty rare.  Looking back at the last six years of October low temps, I don't see anything above low 60s even in early October.

Grand Rapids and Muskegon both set new record rain fall amounts for October 16th

The 1.78” at Grand Rapids and the 1.61” at Muskegon that fell yesterday are new records for October 16th at both locations. So far this October the rain fall at GRR is now at 5.13” and for the year it is now at  39.07”.  The October record for Grand Rapids is 8.32” set in 1954 and the yearly record is 48.80” set in 2008 at this time both should be safe.

Wow, with the low of only 63° yesterday (October 16th) that is good for the second warmest minimum for the date.  The warmest here in GRR is 64° in 1928 and the old second place was 60 in 1984.  Now as for today the warmest minimum for October 17th is 62° in 1998 and so far the lowest for today is 63° so if we can keep from falling below 63° until after midnight a new record warm minimum for October will be recorded today.  As always enjoy history in the making.

Boy that sun came out and the temps jumped about 4 degrees with it, 76/66 currently. Just insane warmth. Wonder if someone in the sub tags 90

Same here... thick clouds hung on all morning, holding us in the low to mid 70s, but once the sun came out this afternoon we shot up to the low 80s.  The AC gets one last hoorah for the year.

Moline is up to 88 and Ottumwa 89.  A couple of 90s just popped up in far southeast Iowa.
