Spring finished tied w/ 1987 & 2000 for 8th warmest on record of 153 at Detroit. Naturally it was 100% due to March/April, as May finished cooler than avg. An about face from the 44th coldest winter.

That grimy looks like it sits up over NNE or maybe CNE. leaving us warner and more humid. Nino Climo it looks like

@yotaman I know you got a lot today it was coming down hard in new Bern and James city a little while ago on 70 road was flooded in the construction area

Until next week

I've been thinking about starting a thread but I just don't have high enough hopes for the Winter right now

indeed In 2023 when Detroit failed to surpass 90F for the first time since 1915, I was told it was the wildfires fault that the max temps were held down. The warmer summer mins were noticeable in holding up the avg temp. NOW....the mins are lower because of an ASOS upgrade . Whats funny...is that the mins STILL run warmer at Detroit (DTW) than all surrounding areas. So I guess every other AWOS, personal weather station etc is in on the min temp conspiracy. The 2026 min temp to date (Jan-May) at DTW is 31.1F. Just 10 miles west at YIP it is 29.4F at 25 miles west of DTW it is 26.7F. Even 25 miles NE in the actual city, Detroit City airport min temp is 31.0F. DTW 31.1 DET 31.0 YIP 29.4 ARB 26.7 Looking at the cold month of January, mins at those same locations: DTW 13.8 DET 14.9 YIP 12.0 ARB 9.0 DTW is the only regulated ASOS station, so it would be the only one that this mysterious min mania applies to. And yet, it is the warmest in the area year-to-date.

Boy would I love a -EPO in Super El Nino. That's probably the best combo. CPC is disregarding the CANSIPS completely in their seasonal outlook, and 1 year ago around this time CANSIPS had a large part of the Midwest/Great Lakes -4 to -6 for the month of July at 0.0 month lead and it ended up positive departure across the board. It did do well in lead the last 2 Winter's though, although severely underestimating the warmth in the Mountain West, which I don't think anything got actually.

I just figured Isaias was retired

Got nailed today. Ping pong sized hail and .45" in 30 minutes.

Summer begins Wednesday with 80+ moving forward ! Finally

If I remember correctly, your records go back to 1973?

Not always. Even northern new england isn't immune to literal torches. See December 2015. I am crossing my fingers we don't get something like this again.

The op Euro has been going back and forth about every model run. From what im seeing things should pick back up in about a week.

Ground level.

it's okay, we're all wrong sometimes

850 anomaly temps are actually near to slight BN on the 9th on EPS. Might be like what we have today with cooler anomalies hanging down in SNE.

Yeah that period has been looking good for at least a couple days of low 90's

nah i mean we're likely looking at a warm winter for most anyway

You're one of the one's that can relate to my interest in monitoring heat in the summer ... heh, I mean shit. It's not like it's part of weather, huh But 12z EPS mean, centered on June 9, came in yet a little more impressive with the over top heat look. Weather this is a flash (pun intended), a heatwave per se, or evolves to something else are obviously notwithstanding at this range, but it's being monitored.

Some of it was the stable air when the wedge lasted a lot longer than expected.

Yeah true...going forward looks great though. No looking back

May 2026 finished exactly 1.0F above the long term average in Minneapolis. 2.24” of precipitation which is -1.67” below average. There was a late freeze on May 6th. The somewhat surprising 0.37” we received yesterday couldn’t have been timed better.

haha... I'd say at least not totally sucking prison balls at shiv point -
