This system is giving me flashbacks to all the systems that Detroit has whiffed on in the last 10 years.

i know right? even tho things look good i keep praying everything holds true. i have been wanting some big boomers for several years now

Thunder's been pretty minimal with these cells tho. Not to be a buzzkill. Certainly worthy of the severe warnings but winds/hail are the bigger story it seems.

ahh the wind is fine by me. the area around metro Detroit just continues to get even more unstable. people on the weather channel even commented on that. nothing but hot sun and a occasional cloud where im at

   0203 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2020

   Areas affected...southeast lower Michigan

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 274...276...

   Valid 101903Z - 102030Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 274, 276
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Numerous thunderstorms have coalesced into a loosely
   organized squall line across portions of northeast Indiana and
   southeast Lower Michigan. A focused corridor for damaging wind gusts
   may develop as storms intensify from Kalamazoo, east-northeast
   toward Detroit.

   DISCUSSION...A line of quasi discrete supercells have begun merging
   into a more linear organization across portions of northeast Indiana
   and southern half of Lower Michigan over the last hour. Several
   reports of wind damage have been received as outflow has become more
   coherent and better organized. The diagonal NE/SW orientation of the
   convective line lies along a corridor of backed mid and upper-level
   flow observed from the 18z Detroit special sounding. The orientation
   of the upper-level flow will likely support continued downdraft
   development and outflow aggregations given seeding from anvil
   precipitation being advected over downstream convection across
   portions of far northeast Indiana into southeast Lower Michigan. The
   main threat with storms will be damaging winds given 1200-1400 J/kg
   of DCAPE and strong mid-level flow of 50 to 60 kt. Large hail will
   be possible given MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg supporting robust deep
   updrafts. However, the risk appears limited due to weaker lapse
   rates of 6 to 7 C/km and the predominately linear storm mode. The
   most favored corridor for severe wind will be with the stronger
   cells merging into southern Michigan toward Detroit. A few
   significant wind gusts will be possible with any stronger bowing
   structures that can develop.

I just got my first thunderstorm of the year this morning, it was decent with tropical rains but not severe. I don't like the look the HRRR is giving for MBY, looks like I'm going to get whiffed this evening followed by the typical hours of moderate rain that follow. I was waiting for some descrete cells ahead of the outflow but then the CAMs backed off that...

87F dropped to 65F and some of the highest gusts I've seen on the airport unit. (iirc May of 2011 hit 70 mph)

yeah last night the cams went off. even had PDS TOR in my area i was very suprised. but i figured they would favor a more linear mode anyways just knowing how the weather up here is

            HOME WEATHER STATION OF 75 MPH.

 

Stepped outside to put my planter pots upright (2 of 3 were flipped) and noticed heavy tree damage at every neighbor's place surrounding mine. Looks like limbs at least up to 6" diameter. One on my south neighbor's SUV and his garage door severely blown inward. Neighbor just north I couldn't see him behind a massive chunk of tree laying in his front yard, but could hear the chainsaw and see movement. Also, tons of sirens blaring and DPW vehicles scurrying around tells me there's some pretty widespread issues. Oh, and in my shorts and flops felt hot about 90 min's ago and now the temps shocking in the other direction. Nothing dull about today's wx..

The squall line's progression eastward looks to have slowed to a crawl.

In the mean time, now there are some nice supercells popping up along the I-75 corridor as the cap weakens.

im not far from there so im gonna head out. that line east looks slow moving. im looking at the storms at the indiana ohio border to hit where i live

Does anyone have footage from the Walker area around noon?  My wife said it was frightening.  The building was shaking and things were flying through the air.  I was expecting most of the severe action to miss GRR to the southeast, but there was an early MCV feature that developed from pre-dawn convection over northern Illinois / southern Lake Michigan.  It gave some of the early convection that rolled in off Lake Michigan a real strong punch and also took it way farther north and west than I expected.

It seems like the backed winds aloft were a problem most places.  Only a hard right-mover could really begin to rotate, and it never really happened.  There were lots of brief little couplets embedded in the convection, but they never really lasted long.  In Michigan, good discrete supercell structure with tornado potential only really seems to happen with a warm front in the area or in response to some kind of outflow boundary / lake-breeze interaction.    With such a strong low level winds and strongly mixed environment there wasn't much in the way of boundaries for storms to latch onto.  They just moved with the flow, more north than east, which wasn't really ideal.  I know it's happened in the past, but it just seems really hard to get the proper type of hodograph for widespread supercells in Michigan.  Probably a good thing.

Metro Detroit in particular has been ridiculously lean the last 10 years. I can count on one hand the number of storms I've seen with more than a couple lightning strikes since I moved to Macomb County in 2010. It gets really irritating hearing thunder from miles away as all the storms dance around Wayne and Macomb counties. 

I can't count the number of times I've watched my zip code ride a slot in between storm cells to stay dry.

Saw my neighbors outside taking pic's so I went over to look. They actually had an entire tree (16+") come down along with parts of other close trees. Trashed their garage badly. Just moved in last October. Not so great a welcome wagon gift from nature for them. On the upside, they may just get a new garage out of the deal.

50s/60s/70s had ZERO problems producing high-end tors. Always wondered what the key ingredient was back then that allowed for such a different outcome? It's like this region was a different world when I was young.

I think that's your issue. Macomb's notorious for down-sloping from the higher elevations to the west. Takes a lot of punch out of winter storms, and likely has a similar effect on severe
