What's irritating is that the high temps at YIP and the low temps at ARB are what they are for reasons well explained, but then the puppet news broadcasts for shock value can point out these gawdy numbers that do not represent 98% of SE MI lol Expand DET and DTW could both make a run at 90*F tomorrow at least. DTW's forecasting 88*F. And it's 71*F at 4am. It's hard to get that even in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just peeked at 2M temp anomalies on the GFS. Looks like we get 2 days of warmth and then right back to below normal for the remainder of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Made it to 67 yesterday and still sitting at 60 this morning but should slowly fall through the day. 2-3" of rain possible as well. Sharp cool down tomorrow with temps falling through the 30's. I had 1.3" of snow last year on the 14th and that was the seasons last snow. If colder air wraps in a little quicker tomorrow, could see the this seasons last flakes... otherwise, they were May 3rd this year. Still haven't hit 70 yet and may not until June.

UMB WX Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 up to 80 at the airport at 11am Very rare for MKE to be one of the warmest spots in the MW in spring. this setup is about the only way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I don't know about "cold" but there does seem to be decent support for cooler than average coming up. I had been thinking the last 3rd would trend toward near or above average, but it looks like it came early and it will be the middle third.

Expand You said highs in the 60s, which isn't going to be right outside of a few days and you also said until the end of the month which isn't going to be right.

Stebo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Furthermore the Op Euro and its ensembles are not locking in a massive cutoff low keeping the area cool. Even several of the GFS ensemble members keep it more so to our northeast. Yeah there is a cold period coming but it isn't going to lock in for 10 days, it's foolhardy to believe that.

weatherbo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Dense fog and 48 with heavy rain moving in.

Powerball Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think DTW made it to 88°F today, after a record high low of 68°F (breaking the record of 67°F in 1962). Record high for today was also set in 1962, at 93°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This upcoming cold front reminds me a bit of what happened in May 1992. Toronto went from a high of 86 on the 23rd to a high of 52 on the 24th. This won't be quite as extreme as that, admittedly - the morning low on May 25th, 1992 was 32!

I couldn't believe how many tractors I saw out in the fields during that. Many are still rushing to get the crops in due to all the rain in past weeks. I think a lot of farmers around here lost some top soil yesterday, and it's probably up in Wisconsin about now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
