WestMichigan Posted yesterday at 07:20 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:20 AM Watched the rain split and go north and south as it approached over the weekend. Managed to get a tiny lone cell after the main even to swing through and bring about 0.1" of rain. Other than that pretty much missed out on everything else. That D1 drought is going to be approaching D2 levels pretty soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:59 AM Looks like today into Thurs is going to be a good douching again in my area. Lake winds may again really help the lift around the Lake. TH co-op updated their rain total for 7/16 to 2.83" from 1.92". Not sure what that was about (error in reporting I guess), but that puts July at 5.65". Another 1-3+" possible. Smoke thinned out yesterday evening, but is back this morning.

Danny8 Posted yesterday at 10:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:17 AM @A-L-E-Kmade a comment awhile ago about this being the greenest drought he remembers and I definitely concur for my neck of the woods. For some reason im in moderate drought on the monitor but haven’t watered anything the entire season and the yard is all green 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted yesterday at 12:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:09 PM Decaying bow echo dropped a nice .40” this morning. Another 48 hour heat wave incoming on its heals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted yesterday at 01:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 PM The weather had been quite pleasant for the climatologically hottest time of the year, so its hard to believe what's lurking. Won't come close to being a heatwave, we will just get one day over 90, but it will be interesting to see just how the dews actually get. For one, we are the northern fringe, and for two models often overdue dews, but its going to feel terrible regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly there was a weak tornado in Allendale and that area and north got a needed soaking as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watering the two young trees I have in front so I have some green surrounding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago We're gonna put together a pretty impressive streak of daily 70+ dews. May make a run at a 2 week streak. Also will be some 80+ days mixed in as well. Signs we may see some relief around the 31st when we finally get a blast of drier air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Sunny with highs in the low 70s and dewpoints in the 40s. Boring as ever but you can’t really beat it comfortable wise in late July. Already down to the low 60s and most likely headed to the 40s tonight. Who says we can’t get low dewpoints in the summer anymore? lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago We could use some rain locally. It seems like lately everything that has come at us has fallen apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then that 5 inches that fell locally in a few hours a month ago and 2 inches that fell with the last event, its been quiet. Yesterday was perfect. Last week Intermediate lake up north in Bellaire felt the warmest I've ever felt it, which is interesting because it wasn't a warm spring and not an overly hot summer so far. Perhaps its the lack of deep cold winters lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 4 hours ago, WestMichigan said: Seems to be the story with most of the Michigan people posting here. Not just Michigan. It's definitely been a very dry month to date in many locations in the lower Great Lakes. Just looking at the data for Fort Wayne, Cleveland and Buffalo, the last time (and only time) it was drier than this year at all three locations was 1936. Fort Wayne, Indiana (5th driest of 128 years) Cleveland, Ohio (11th driest of 155 years) Buffalo, New York (9th driest of 155 years) New Philadelphia, Ohio (2nd driest of 68 years) Bradford, Pennsylvania (6th driest of 65 years) Also, while the official Akron area site hasn't been quite as dry, the site at Akron Municipal Airport [formerly the official observation site for some time] has only registered 0.21" of rain, which is the driest of 83 years at the site.
