Eps continues to have the main moisture axis centered right over us

Looks like the rivers along the shore are going to be roaring next week. Gooseberry Falls should be a cool site to visit.

Last cold pisser for a while

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

Beautiful day

Last coolish day before several warm and humid days coming in.  Low temps will hold in the 60s for several nights.

Awaiting a dying Iowa blob of anvil rains this afternoon.

Pretty incredible stretch of temperatures coming up for Mid-April. We have had warmer, and similar length stretches of warmer temps. But having 70s and humid for at least 5 days straight is impressive, as usually it's dry when we get warm for that long this time of year, ala 2023. Going to be stacking up the rain totals as well, especially if areas have multiple rounds of T-storms. Could be a significant flooding issue in the UP and basins coming off of that area and the North Shore where there is still a significant snowpack. GRB has noted the possibility of the Menominee River reaching moderate or major flood stage later in the week. That plus the multiple severe days is going to make it a very busy week for the region.

Have a shot at our first 70 degree dew Tue or Wed.  This would be less than a month after the blizzard on March 16th.

Was driving through Grand Rapids yesterday and noticed the Grand River was awfully high.  Same with local rivers and streams around my neck of the woods in Battle Creek. Going to be a humid summer.
