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.
-
We were +4.3 and +4.1 for that timeframe. It was a warm two months here for sure.
-
Amazing how different the UP is compared to the lower peninsula.
-
Topped out at 54MPH gust at my house. Windy, but nothing exceptionally strong for this area.
-
Welcome to the west side of the state
-
Only lasted 20-25 minutes but like other mentioned, quality lightning show!

Potential Sever Weather Outbreak 4/27/2026
WestMichigan replied to pen_artist's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Nearly the entire SE corner of my county is without power. I recorded a peak gust of 19MPH before the electricity went off. Someone else must have had a much higher gust nearby because that would cause parts of 2 counties to lose power. -
Is it because that is intended to be an overlay layer and the gray checkerboard area is transparent and so it can render overtop another background layer?
-
Two reports of tornadoes in my part of the state. The one earlier mentioned around Carson City and another near Otsego and Plainwell that crossed US-131. Just lots of rain IMBY. My county was briefly under a warning but I don't believe anything ever touched down.
-
After Saturday being absolutely perfect, yesterday was warm but once again crazy windy. I recorded a 65MPH gust yesterday afternoon and spent about 5 hours straights with winds gusting over 40MPH on a consistent basis.
-
And 2013-2014 was near record setting or record setting for many in the Midwest and doesn't even make their top 10. it is a completely differently place up there.
-
Snow in the south in April, that 1857 cold snap is hard to imagine.
-
Woke up to an unexpected layer of freezing rain on any elevated outdoor surface. Scraping car windows isn't fun when it is pouring rain and 33°.
-
We should have had a wind warning or something last night but nothing was issued. For about 20 minutes straight my wind averaged over 40MPH with multiple 60+ gusts. Had a max wind gust of 67 around 1:30 this morning.
-
Quite a turnaround for many areas in the last month. Definitely good to see the drought easing here, but the southern and western states are still awful.
