Is that Greenfield Vilage?

That is a crazy view of that fire. It is going to be a long summer out there.

How does that compare to the bank thermometer?

GRR is at -1.4° below normal heading into the final day.

Looks like we are going to finish June with a negative temperature departure for the month. A warm period at the beginning and end of the month couldn't overcome an incredibly pleasant middle part. It would take something like +42 departure today to bring us back to normal. It might feel like it with the humidity today, but that is a different story.

Looking like once it arrives the heat might be here to stay for a while according to the GFS.

Dew point was in the mid 30's this morning. Not something you normally see in this part of Michigan in the latter part of June.

A few days ago there were model forecasts of record low barometric pressures for the month of June out of the current system. Anyone know if that is verifying?

You've had more rain today that I have had all month.

I was just a period of short heavy rain and lightning/thunder when it came through my area.

I have a large one of those in my hay field. I lost one side of it about 5 years ago but it is massive. They are fragile but can turn into impressively large trees given the right environment.

Pretty big jump in the D0 category this week.

The weekly drought monitor is going to start being of interest across a wide part of the sub given the dryness. We need some rain soon.

You aren't married are you. Wives tend not to be so fond of this idea.

There is a forum for the Philly area. Feel free to post Philly stats there. As for me, this month is -3.1 so far through May 26. I don't think this month will end up in the + departure column after a warm March/April.
