Dunno if I ever recall seeing 500mb heights exceed 600 dam before, even on a GFS fantasy range forecast. Usually the highest I see is 594.

It happened in the middle of July 2013 over the GL/OV. (Link - all the images are unfortunately dead) 850 temps were relatively pedestrian though so it was just an "average" heatwave when it happened.

Classic.  I am beginning wonder if we will have the curse of the flood watch occur.  The point and click keeps decreasing.  Now down to quarter to half inch for tonight.  <_< Not gonna have any flooding with a half inch!  Heck any puddles would be gone by morning.

Oh well.  <_<  Feeling that a big event just is not gonna happen IMBY this summer. :thumbsdown:  This is not a widespread thing for SE MI rather an unfortunate localized thing for a second summer in a row which every storm has found a way to avoid MBY.    This summer is an improvement from last year but again storms have found a way to miss here by a few miles (in July just south of Fenton they had a 4.45" storm while MBY being 2 miles further south only got 0.7" out of that event).  Now 2021 summer was completely opposite which MBY got hit by several great events (funny how it balances out :lol:).

Overall disappointing summer here too. The best storms were April 4-5.  There was an ultra-rare baseball sized hail supercell I drive 20 miles south to see that evening, then loud cracking thunder that jolted me awake at 5am the next morning.  The two big July I-94 squall lines came through at a bad times where I couldn’t chase.  I wasn’t really feeling well enough to drive anyways though.

Last year the best show IMBY was Sept 20, so I suppose there is still hope.  It was completely non-severe but had amazing lightning nonetheless.

Fun video.  Yeah I am hoping for a magical fall.  August just does not look exciting IMO as everything seems to keep diving south of here again.
