just ripped snow here for about 3 minutes, hasn't dropped below 32 yet today, though.

Got this earlier as a cell crawled down from Clare. not a ton of lightning, but really crisp updrafts all around.

barely hit 70 today, but plenty of showers/weak tstorms around. campus wx camera has a nice view: http://weather.eas.cmich.edu/current/webcam/2026-04-16-17-56.jpg

Also, thinking they may go MDT with the 1630z update

Beautiful light show last night here, went and sat out in a field for ~90 minutes, with constant lightning 20-40 miles away, first from the cell that moved through Saginaw, and then new stuff that back built from it, probably off of outflow?

What a time for the IWX radar to go down...

MD and then watch just issued pretty much back to back for IWX area

Surprised that the D2 update at 1730z didn't introduce any sort of ENH in Michigan

went ahead and started a thread

figured it's probably due, almost a lock that someone in the sub's gonna see some action today or tomorrow. primarily hail/tornado risk.

Single-cell MD up in your neck of the woods, @Brian D

warm front finally made it up here, about 45 minutes ago, 75/55 now, really feeling like we've got some good juice for storms

yeah, kinda concerned about flooding potential in the area this week, especially as soils are pretty saturated already

Yeah, sure

absolute peak weather here today, with what will probably be the last fully sunny day for a while.

tis the season

approaching 3/4 of an " at the campus wx station, enough to cause some minor ponding in the fields

boring answer would be "frequency illusion", fun answer is that the US and (russia/china/iran) are knocking each other's military satellites out of orbit

up to 71 here, sunny, with a nice breeze. really the type of day you could just spend entirely outside and not complain

seems like it verified fairly well

sunday could have a legit hailer threat for a lot of the OV, 2k+ cape on the NAM & pretty steep lapse rates (7-8C/km)

haha, i bet. i'd like to experience it at least once in life. also crazy that he's seen an order of magnitude more snow this season than me, in the same state.

just insane, thanks for sharing. i don't think i can even imagine having so much snow on the ground, for such a long period of time.

76mph gust at KDAY
