Also noteworthy is a temp of 51 and a dewpoint of 9. I bet there aren't many 50+/sub 10 degree dewpoints obs in the history of DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Models had some exceptionally dry air aloft, especially the NAM with areas of 850 mb dewpoints of -20F to -30F or so (which is basically off the scale at COD). No surprise then to see some of the dry air mixing down especially with these winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Its sort of an unique weather setup as this mid-morning here had high gusts with clear blue skies and full sun. I can't remember the last time that happened. Its mostly cloudy now. The sunrise and yesterday's sunset were amazing. 17 years ago today was that extreme temperature event that sticks out like no other, 24ºC in midwestern ON and 28ºC in Windsor/extreme SW ON. I wish I could remember what I was doing that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That setup takes the cake for strange high wind setups. Not only was it from a remnant hurricane, but the sunny skies meant that temps were able to rise well into the 80s/near 90 in some areas during those high winds. Those setups come around pretty rarely... the remnant 1900 Galveston hurricane is another example but a bit farther north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
