I wouldn't mind if Thunderstorm were on tap with the heat!! Just unrelenting blistering heat, then I agree, no thanks.
-
It's Groundhog's day.
-
Model say the fun is done with the drought resuming tomorrow.
-
It is nice to see something other than smoke Just had another cell develop on us. My daughter said "Hey dad the clouds are HAILING us"
-
"rocking the typical 65/53 temp/dewpoint you would expect for June thunder" ==> We had a cell developing right on top of us. I started to hear thunder and I was wondering what the neighbor was doing!! Looked outside and it briefly poured out(<0.1") and of course the cell got bigger as it went east. Saw a few flashes and hear lots of cloud thunder rumbling. Most weather excitement since April!

Northerly flow with due points in the 20s/30s/40s in May and June with and Omega blocking high over the Great Lakes region is the main reason. Plenty of smoke last weekend as storms popped up with dew points finally more summer like at that time. The influence is small if really any at all.
-
Agree. We have had a lot of summers with much above overnight lows. Having the low due points has allowed for much cooler overnight/morning lows for us the past couple summers. Plus being so dry with loads of sun, our day time temps easily recover.

Michigan abolished the fireworks ban a few years ago. The only difference before/after has basically been where you buy your fireworks.

Just moving in here now. Just in time for the sunset and moon rise. Looks like we might repeat it again tomorrow.
-
Definitely a cool effect from the smoke. Though I am glad it is gone here today as I prefer a pure blue sky.
-
Crazy cool Strawberry Moon with the smoke filled sky.
-
Glad I am on a well so we can easily water the garden. Too much lawn for me to even bother with the positive being I save gas money as I don't need to mow much!!
-
Wasn't just dry grass as there were many farmers around here that were impacted.
-
Wow articles about events I have lived through. Yep I know these details quite well. Still does change the there was a severe drought in my area as stated in my above posts.
-
Guess the drought monitoring groups don't know what they are doing. They had a L = Long term right over Livingston county into much of the thumb for several months and finally removed it mid-April. 1988 was only a couple months of drought for this area by July normal or even above precipitation fell. While it was a hot spring in early summer I remember the worst of the drought being out west with all the Yellowstone fires.

I had a drought all of last spring started Nov 2021) until this March (2023). 1/4 of my lawn died/never recovered. I only mowed 4 times all last year.
-
If it wasn't for the March 31st event my family might put me on watch!!!
-
Hopefully! The solid blue sky was so nice to see yesterday!!! True sunglass weather . Looks like they have more rains expected over the next few weeks; nothing extreme but it should help.
-
Frosty morning here!! 35F was the low temp.
-
I hate drought conditions. Definitely my least favorite weather.

One mans trash is another man's treasure.

This spring blows chunks!!

Spring 2023 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Lightning replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Sitting in the mower for a good couple hours. Over ear NC headphones jamming some tunes. Then with the beautiful fresh cut lawn, sitting in the lawn chair and have a brew on a sunny 80+ degree day. -
Yeah things really got going in mid-June that year. Hopefully we can get a similar pattern change for this area.
-
Sadly it was windy, cloudy and cool today here. Tomorrow looks top notch 75/sunny/wind under 10mph!!!
