Like I said it's a more recent thing, but it got out of control in April. I think that's when DTX took notice. Lmao it had 88 last Friday when all surrounding areas were 80-82. But again, DET has no more weight than ARB, YIP or any coop station. First order stations are what the NWS makes sure are all good (DTW, FNT, MBS).

Brian D Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Green grass is starting to show, and bird song is rampant. Seasonal wx so far this week, except a little warmer back on Wed away from the Lake in the low 60's. Looks like Mon could be on the warmer side with thunder. Look forward to the warmer wx next month, especially later in May for my area. The Lake keeps things a little cool still, but warmer than now.

How do the low temps rank? How about the average temp? I dont typically feel anything outside of top 20 is particularly noteworthy, but since we get some of the most random warm stats posted in here, I might as well point out that Jan-Feb, the coldest two months of the year, ranked in the coldest third to coldest quarter of the period of record for many places in the southern Lakes/northern OV. Again, it was no 2013-14 thats for sure, but for a winter that was overwhemingly forecast to be so warm, it was a pretty cold stretch for the wintriest time of the year. Jan-Feb 2025 Detroit: 54th coldest of 152 Flint: 43rd coldest of 109 Saginaw: 45th coldest of 114 Ann Arbor: 57th coldest of 144 Grand Rapids: 47th coldest of 132 Chicago: 61st coldest of 153 Indianapolis: 49th coldest of 154 Cincinnati: 37th coldest of 153 Columbus: 38th coldest of 147 Dayton: 39th coldest of 132 Fort Wayne: 44th coldest of 129 South Bend: 49th coldest of 132 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted Sunday at 02:23 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:23 AM 12 hours ago, cyclone77 said: May have some freeze potential next weekend around here. Was just looking at long range and it looks like some areas could be in the mid 20’s for lows around here (even colder in central MI) next Saturday/Sunday/Monday nights. Highs only in the 40’s but have a feeling that May sunshine will cause those temps to be at least in the 50’s. Probably end up being 70 with lows in the 50s lol everything has been hot garbage after day 4/5 as of the late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Perfect wx day here, blue skies and over performed to 24C/75F once again. This is my favorite so far of the year since last Weds it was also 24 but didn't have that warm wind mid-day and its far more green too. Tomorrow on tap to be another ride with anomalous high DPs, supercell potential throughout SON (TWN is a bit aggressive), high winds. I'm eager to find out what storm mode we're getting.

Brian D Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM 0.96" from the shwrs/stms yesterday into this morning. Nothing svr imby, but did get some pea hail with the initial round of stms. Looks like a 1-2"+ with isolated 3"+ of rain around N MN. That was really needed. Should knock back the drought conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM Way overperformed, Got to 28C/82F my point was 23!! Humidex may be even moreso, 32C forecast was 24 at most. Feels like a nice blanket of heat despite the clouds. Winds are solid - steady 40 km/h gusts to 60 estimating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted Tuesday at 08:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:18 PM DTW got up to 86F. Dont think my area got higher than 80-81. Actually glad it got into the mid-80s because todays record high was such low hanging fruit, better to break it than tie it. Going into the 30s tonight with a frost advisory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM Topped out at 84° at ORD yesterday, which is the first official 80°+ day of the year for Chicago. It was also just shy of a record high for the date as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted Wednesday at 01:13 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:13 AM Felt like summer until about 1PM today. Got to about 80° before the bottom fell out. Had a wind gust to 50mph on my weather station right around fropa which led to quite a few people with power out just south of me by a few blocks.
