Powerball Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Today would have definitely been a good candidate for a Heat Advisory. DET has 5 consecutive hours of heat indices between 98*F and 103*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just went outside and started drenching. Guessed the dewpoint at 74° and indeed it's 85° with 74° dewpoint at 9:30pm. Not bad. We'll see if the rain to the west by Davenport makes its way here later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Still 80/77 here as we approach 10pm. Real nice light show going on in the western and northern sky right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Man this forum really is dead. Wow. Anyway, nice light show with some decent downpours in the last 15 min. Gonna be a long and stormy night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for out this way, all we have is the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Possible tornado about 20 mins from my house this afternoon in Springville. Didn't know there was a possibility for one today, land/lake breezes must have made it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So hard for us to get Tstorms in summer due to that stubborn lake shadow. The storms ride the lake breeze. The exact opposite happens in winter though so I can't complain to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detriot must have a similar heating effect that Rochester has which is only an hour drive away. They have had 19 90+ days so far this summer while Buffalo has had 6 I believe. We did hit 89 4-5 times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been away from it for awhile (7 week old plus boring weather) and expected to need to take a long time getting caught up. Reviewed 3 weeks worth of posts in 15 minutes, haha. Dews made things real soupy today until decaying showers knocked them back a bit. Looking forward to some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DET has 5 consecutive hours of heat indices between 98*F and 103*F. More of the same for Friday...wonder if any offices will actually issue anything. More than half the sites in OH saw their heat index exceed 100F at some point on Thursday. I think 100+ heat index values in OH were more widespread than the hyped up heat wave in July that sort of turned into a dud when heat advisories/warnings were issued. Given the prolonged nature of the heat this week and minimal relief at night, I agree that it would've been a good candidate for some heat headlines.

Powerball Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 DTW and DET are currently at 81*F as we approach 4am. We'll probably have one of those last minute dips into the 70s before sunrise, but that's still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm getting a sandwich job, drought to my northeast, flooding rains to my south. DROUGHT INFORMATION STATEMENT...CORRECTED OSU LINK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 837 PM EDT THU AUG 11 2016 ...SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST OHIO... OVERVIEW... THE U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR HAS DOWNGRADED PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST OHIO FROM A MODERATE DROUGHT (D1) TO A SEVERE DROUGHT (D2). THIS INCLUDES PORTIONS OF VAN WERT AND ALLEN COUNTIES. OTHER PARTS OF NORTHWEST OHIO INTO NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA IS CLASSIFIED AS MODERATE DROUGHT (D1) OR ABNORMALLY DRY HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 440 PM EDT THU AUG 11 2016 ...HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will move across central Indiana this weekend and into early next week as a cold front becomes nearly stationary over the region. The front will interact with an upper level disturbance and deep tropical moisture to produce the potential for heavy rainfall. The greatest threat for heavy rainfall and flooding will be across the southern half of central Indiana Saturday and Sunday possibly lingering into early next week. 3 to 4 inches of rainfall is possible over central Indiana through Sunday...with locally higher amounts possible across areas along and south of the Interstate 70 corridor. Additional rainfall will likely cause flooding...especially along creeks and streams and in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Flooding along the Wabash...White and East Fork of the White Rivers will be possible next week. At this time...forecast confidence is high that heavy rain will fall over parts of central Indiana this weekend. Confidence is lower in the specific location of the heaviest rainfall at this time...but that will grow over the next day or two as the event nears.

Jonger Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I was in the Silver Lake Sand dunes on Wednesday, temps were in the mid 70's next to the water. This humidity is hard to work in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thick cloud cover, who cares, still hit 92 at noon at DTW... Imagine if we were full sunshine and not as humid. We'd be easily above 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertSul Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 With the NAM and RAP showing PWAT values between 2.3 and 2.6 for parts of SE Michigan this afternoon/evening, isn't there a higher risk for flash flooding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Huge mistake by DTX to not issue any type of excessive heat headlines IMO. Heat indices already approaching / exceeding 100*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
