michsnowfreak Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Still well early, but based on the forecast, looks very doable for Detroit to have no 90F days this July. July historically is our hottest month and sees the most # of 90s, but DTW has not passed 93F in July since 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Attempts #8,9 both failed for any storms since Monday mid-day - I correctly knew it would just be steady rain in place of garden boomer early this morning. Nice evening last night and a repeat of yesterday for the first half of today. 5mm of rain. This very active storm pattern giving me not even a clap of thunder for weeks is an exceptional blowout. The Weather Network site has finally finished off any creative touch they once had and forced the switch to their mobile layout on PC unifying it this afternoon . Lame how they pretended to have a new beta for desktop users just to save some more for their dying suncreen-promoting platform. Very plain, drab, terrible layout somehow the stinkiest of all time. 7 and 14 day forecast layouts are abysmal! Maybe I can ditch my bad habit of checking since the accuracy is so damn awful anyways. There are a few pros like having a better radar static image on the main condition page so I don't have to load the bloated interactive page for it. Its now come full circle back to what it was when the site first launched just plain info with minimal tinsel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Surprisingly tagged the 9th 90 of the year today. Currently tied with the total of 90-degree days of last year. As for rain from the MCS that was supposed to arrive, only got a trace. With the upcoming MCV tomorrow, forecast rainfall totals seem to be lowered a little bit. 06z NAM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Hanging in the upper-50's here early this afternoon after 4 very summer like days with highs ranging from the upper-70's to mid-80's. Had some decent rains as well totaling around 1.5". Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even in the last decade, the big heat has had a tendency to center itself west of the Rockies. Yea. I meant in the brief periods the heat gets east of the Rockies, it doesn't really reach the Great Lakes. This year the upper Midwest has been persistently troughy and it looks to return to that pattern over the next week. I like this somewhat active pattern better than having a trough over New England that puts the GL in a boring "cool drought", but it seems hot and active summers are a thing of the past.

Roger Smith Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Toronto had 3.29" rain on Tuesday, following 1.18" on Monday. This was a top five for July daily rainfall in 184 years of records, and it followed another daily record set on 10th (1.76"). It resulted in urban flooding and some water rescues from partially submerged cars. It was not quite as heavy a one- or two- day rainfall as July 7-8 2013, or a one-day record set in 1897 (on 28th). July 2024 is already third wettest July behind only 1841 and 2013. It will only take a normal amount of rain in next two weeks to reach first place. It will take about half of what has already fallen to equal wetter months of Sep 1843 and may 1894. Will keep track of where July 2024 finishes up relative to record values. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, agreed cool drought is the worst, but was stoked for a 1995-esque "hot and active" and we just haven't gotten there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 A refreshing 56F this morning at DTW, so nice to have fresh air and not AC filling the house during the dog days. This was the 2nd night of July (the other being the 1st) that rural areas of SE MI dipped into the 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Low 80s and daily storm chances. Pretty darn good. High altitude smoke is a bummer but it’s an inevitable part of the modern summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Low of 50 last night. Slept with the windows open and woke up at dawn to the robins singing. A few spots fell into the upper 30's-low 40's. Looks like a stellar day with sunshine, limited smoke, low humidity and a high in the low-70's. If not for the deer flies today would be a perfect 10. They have started to wane a bit and shouldn't be an issue in a couple more weeks. August is by far my favorite month of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Been a very pleasant few days, but looks like a good chance at shwrs/stms today. Unfortunately lots of smoke has been around from western/northern fires. Nasty skies! Hot weekend on tap. Could reach low 90's in town. Top 5 heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
