Yeah, keep that stuff away from here.
-
1.67” overnight bringing my monthly total to 5.99”. Definitely a wet July locally. I am sure some areas nearby are easily over 7” for the month.
-
Great conditions for the mosquito population to explode.

1.91" at home, 1.68" at GRR through midnight, close to 3" at Grand Ledge and numerous totals in the 2" range. Overall I'd say GRR forecasted this one pretty well.
-
Over an inch and still raining here. Drought is definitely gone.
-
1.07" from two separate storms last night. The grass is green and growing rather fast. Corn in the fields is trying to make up for lost time and has put on quite a bit of growth in the last two weeks.

I am going out on a limb here and saying you got rain last night. Not sure why all the complaining.
-
If you aren't east of US-131 then it isn't raining right now. We have had some in the past week that missed the GRR area also but I noticed on Monday around Conklin it is still quite dry and like you mentioned the immediate lakeshore is dry also.

We have thick fog and maybe smoke, maybe not. Too foggy to tell this morning.

GRR with a little bit of sarcasm/humor in their afternoon AFD. Smoke continues to linger across parts of West Michigan, though some improvement has been noted over central Lower Michigan the past few hours. As ridge of high pressure moves east of the area tonight, winds will becomes SE, and this should prevent the somewhat more pristine air to the north from advancing significantly farther south through lower Michigan, and as a result forecast will continue to include areas of smoke through Thursday.

Accuweather was showing readings as high as 326 in my area about 30 minutes ago.

1 mile visibility at GRR just before noon. It is crazy outside right now.

Sounds like mosquito heaven.

Ended up with a little over 1.5" here today. Thankfully the lake shadow didn't seem to come into play.

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
WestMichigan replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
You cut off the date, when is that? ^ -
With all those leaves it doesn't look like much grass would grow there anyway.
-
No heat? How many 90 degree days has GRR had? I count 5 so far. That doesn't sound like no heat. You could make a case for lower humidity than normal.
-
Other than lack of rain, I am not sure anyone is complaining about the low dewpoints. Except for our resident palm tree lover.

Where was a discussion like this in the winter instead of the usual decline in QPF that seemed to occur with nearly every storm. We definitely need the rain so this is a good thing. Latest GEFS/ECMWF ensembles support potential for three quarters of an inch to an inch of rainfall from Sunday through Tuesday. A gradual trend upward a bit in ensemble qpf has been noted the past 48 hours which seems reasonable given the evolution of the upper level pattern.

And so it begins....

A tale of two different regimes here.
