hawkeye_wx Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 WPC has really upped the rain amounts for northern and eastern Iowa into southern wisky and northern Illinois over the next five days... widespread 3-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Haven't had a 90 yet this year at LAF but that should change this week barring something unexpected with convective debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 And of course, DET made it to 90*F but DTW has only made it to 89*F so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 And of course, DET made it to 90*F but DTW has only made it to 89*F so far... Thought it was a little toasty today. Best thing about the heat is the golf courses are dead when it gets really hot, play is good and fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The 40s for dews from early yesterday are a distant memory now. Dew sitting at 70 this evening. Made it to 88 earlier today. Heat index made it to 91. Some storms heading this way, and we're under a new storm watch. Second one of the day. The first one was for a wave of storms that crapped the bed before reaching here. This next wave looks pretty strong, so it may make it down here with some heavy rain and gusty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 And of course, DET made it to 90*F but DTW has only made it to 89*F so far... DET looked to be running a bit warm the last few days. I wonder if something is wrong with the sensor? They maxed at 91F today. They were at 89F at 7pm when everyone else was between 79-85. DTW maxed at 89F.

Powerball Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 DET looked to be running a bit warm the last few days. I wonder if something is wrong with the sensor? They maxed at 91F today. They were at 89F at 7pm when everyone else was between 79-85. DTW maxed at 89F. As far as today, the temps matched exactly with what the RAP and the 4km NAM showed. It's normal for DET to be warmer than the other sites on days like this, with the aide of downsloping from the higher elevation to the west. Monroe hit 90*F also while Mt. Clemens hit 89*F. It's probably something that can be looked into (to be fair, DET was in line with the other sites on 6/14/13), I haven't noticed a large enough discrepancy to raise any eye brows though.

Can't buy a decent storm around here so far this year, but more opportunities in coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't buy a decent storm around here so far this year, but more opportunities in coming days. The Quad Cities seem to have bad luck with storms (if you're a storm lover), especially considering they're closer to the prime storm region of the Plains into Iowa, and considering they don't have to worry about a lake stabilizing their region. I'd probably be banned by now if I lived there lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Gusting pretty mean this morning. So far it's one of the best I've seen this year. Surprised there isn't a wind advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 RAP has mid 90s here. There's been times this year when I thought it was going to be too warm and it ended up doing a pretty good job so we'll see if it gets this one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not humping...it's been notoriously too hot in recent years but has done pretty well with some of the warmer days this year for whatever reason. Looks like it's going to be wrong today though unless we get a miraculous 7-8 degree rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think Powerball is sweating it out right now, in more ways than one. 89F at DTW at 3pm Eastern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Pretty impressive temperature recovery, given the storm that just passed near the airport. Didn't rain a drop here and it was weak until it got over Melvindale. Winds are still SW too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 First 90F in over 9 months. Will be interesting to see what kind of summer this is wrt 90 days. We were well below normal in 2008 & 2009, well above normal in 2010, 2011, & 2012...then back below in 2013. Thinking this will be another below normal summer for 90s, but time will tell.

cyclone77 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hit 91 here today before the thicker cumulus arrived. Dews hovered in the low 70s all day. Very soupy out there this evening. Still have a dew of 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was low to mid 70s most of the evening, then we got a soaking thunderstorm with a ton of lightning. Truly is a nice climo all in all in much of our subforum.
