68/68 this AM. this weather is disgusting

@wxmeddler and I were thinking the same thing. Looks like the site got clipped.

The recent winter 10 year average temperature for Detroit set a new record in 2025 at 30.8°. The previous record ending in 1958 was 29.3°. But that 10 year streak was followed by an average of 23.1° in 58-59. It’s unlikely absent a major volcanic eruption anytime soon that Detroit can have another winter that cold again in this much warmer climate. Since readings near that level were last seen prior to the two baseline temperature jumps in 15-16 and 23-24. My comparison to how warm a summer departure for warmth would be if Detroit and the Great Lakes saw March 2012 or winter 2023-2024 occur in the summer was proportional and not the exact magnitudes of the departures. It’s what such a summer would look like in proportion to a peak above other recent summers. Since we know the range of the departures is generally greater during the cold season. A proportional relative to summer climatology high temperature heat extreme has occurred in a few regions of extreme drought. A dust bowl repeat for the Upper Midwest would be equivalent to such a summer extreme. But luckily the conditions where the farmers removed the topsoil on the Great Plains leading to that extreme are no longer present. In fact, the record irrigation and corn production has lead to a local summer cooling in spots. Though the dew points have been very extreme since the 90s making the real feel close at times. Plus flash flooding has been more of a concern than extreme drought from the Upper Midwest to Great Lakes. While many areas have experienced record summer heat during the 2020s, the most extreme heat was in association with the record drought in the Pacific Northwest . This allowed several stations to surpass their all-time highs by 6°+ back in 2021. Areas further east have been too wet during the summer to allow high temperature extremes this high.

i started mowing yesterday afternoon, 10 minutes in a miracle happened...............it started raining again

Ya just ticking back up.. guidance started backing off a bit maybe 5%.. looks like a deal where southern CT may torch with wind direction like you were saying earlier in the week

Monday and Tuesday I always thought looked hot? Monday will be dependent on MCS early Sunday. If it’s further west it may delay warmth returning. But euro right now favors hot. W-F look more tepid for now.

How many times have we seen a MCS two hundred miles to the north send a lake enhanced outflow down the lake causing a NE wind and big drop in temps? It happens over here with Lake Huron too. You guys should be in the clear from that by Sunday though.

Monday Tuesday are back to extreme widespread temps around 100 with dews in the 70s.. Wednesday Thursday stays hot down here for now …

I wish the the enhanced zone was centered over I-81 as opposed to I-95. We're still in a good area, but we're more in the formation zone as opposed to the maturity zone that Allentown and points east appear to be.

smart

Looks like official summer is coming in like summer. Hot hot hot!

71.4/70.5/70..9 to start the day... muggy

I don’t ever recall a severe event when the region was enveloped in dense fog like this. This needs to scour soon

Partly sunny and 72 right now.

Maybe the excessive rainfall from CC has caused this foliage overgrowth..... looking at my front yard, I think this is the correct idea. NYC had much less rainfall and a much drier climate during the 1930s-1960s with less foliage in our parks, so it was much easier to get record heat back then.

Oh look, another overcast morning with dense fog.

As expected previously, timing looks off for today.

Let summer commence! It just feels different this morning Glorious!

on cue:A MIDDLE LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE FROM THE DAKOTAS TOWARD LAKE SUPERIOR AND POTENTIALLY SEND A MCS WEST TO EAST JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER WISCONSIN. WHILE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE DRY, THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY ON THIS STORMS TRACK AND ITS INFLUENCE IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. FOR NOW, IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE ANY EXCESSIVE HEAT PRODUCTS FOR THE WEEKEND. -LOT

westerly flow would mean 100+ right to JFK

Yep, hasn't rained at all since yesterday morning. The switch has flipped.

I thought the otherwise especially Wednesday through Friday

this really is more of a tropical rainforest type of climate, in that kind of climate, you do not get extremely high temperatures because most of the heat is absorbed by the excess moisture in the atmosphere (which creates those high rainfall events later on in the summer.) Maybe this predominant sea breeze is a function of climate change, as the planet seeks to balance out the differences between land and ocean?

SOS…Picked up .82” of rain yesterday, More serve storms in the forecast today. Grass needs mowed but yard is getting pretty saturated with all the rain, first time that has really happened. River is at action stage 9.4’ 67 degrees
