After the back door front came through it’s nice to have it in the 60s still. Last few days it was in the 80s at this time. Noticed the next batch of smoke coming in from the NE on the GOES satellite. Air quality looks rough along Lake Michigan looks like some indications of surface based smoke if anyone from over that way can confirm

Air quality starting to go downhill in Michigan from north to south. Looking like it’s slowly creeping into the lower half of the peninsula

I can see to my north and it looks really thick over there

I brought the Florida sunshine home to Michigan with me

Time to head to Lake Michigan to fill up 55gal drums if that’s the case

Hopefully this back door cool front will fire off some storms in SE Michigan tomorrow. Low chance but any will help

The constant dry and completely sunny conditions day after day here with the low humidity is concerning in the long run. Hoping for a pattern flip in a couple weeks. Was in another wood lot today in Monroe county and it was all dry and ground cracking in spots with sun. Some of the smaller brush species are drying up considerably. Few more weeks of this and we could have some problems. Hopefully DNR did a good job with their prescribed fires this year. Areas of forest is the north is another concern as well. A couple MCS or MCV to roll through would be beneficial but only time will tell. The more consistent heat waves coming in from Canada is another’s interesting note I’ll have to find the article I read up on it. Used to the humid air from the south

Great radar capture of the outflow/breezes colliding quite impressive to say the least

This keeps up moderate drought will rapidly makes its way into IN, OH, and MI. Was NW of Howell yesterday and was in a white pine/Norway spruce patch of woods and that whole area is dry like a tinderbox. I’m concerned with increasing wildfire danger in the next few weeks in the lower half of Michigan

Lakes are rapidly warming aswell. Glad to see it

16/7/4

Definitely feel the extra jump of 12 degrees in terms of the dew point. Sweating outside twice as much as yesterday already. If I didn’t know better I’d say it’s definitely got a mid summer feel

the sheer amount of days in a row with sunny or mostly sunny conditions is definitely getting up there. Loving that tho but I know it’s really bad in the long run

Did the lawn. Had family over. Grilled up the brats, dogs, and venison burgers with all the fixings. Loaded potato salad. Can’t ask for a better Memorial Day

Beautiful view. Reminds me of when I went there i siesta key last year with my fiancé

Im using my sprinkler tonight on the sun baked section of my yard. If I don’t it will end up like lawns in the desert

Can’t believe I’m getting dry hands this time of year usually it’s only in wintertime for me

Hopefully soaks the bogs enough if any of those caught fire

From the rains and heavy wet snow to really dry conditions. Good if you work outside but some thunder would be nice

Whoever left the back door open is about to get smacked

I already got my sprinkler out prepared to use it on my one part of the lawn that will get fried from the dry weather

After coming back from Clearwater that’s what I’m hoping for. Love the clean Lake Huron which will be the first Great Lake I visit this summer. Smokey skies I know won’t help

Only positive is the heat wave will warm the Great Lakes faster for swimming

Only good thing about this back door front is the fact the skies will clear for a day or two

Starts in Ann Arbor a few years ago and it’s supposed to help out our pollinator insects. In a suburb set up I really don’t know how it helps unless you border a woodlot
