June 2026 General Discussion

[Brian D]

Decent chance for rain coming later this week. Lets hope for a better month in that regard.

[A-L-E-K]

managed just enough from the early morning showers to give the plants a nice drink

June begins with a high temperature of 80. Dews have crashed into the upper 40s this evening.

[cyclone77]

Extremely dry air advected in from the northeast this evening.  Have had dews as low as 33.  

[A-L-E-K]

couple more extremely comfortable days on tap before summer classic returns

[Torchageddon]

Its now been a week of blue skies wall to wall, soaking that in. This is the sunniest stretch of wx in years; I don't have data on the last time but it reminds me of mid Jun 2020, and I think before the awful smoke summer of '23 there was a very sunny period in Apr. Lows fairly cool tho. I may have overperformed Mon getting to 25C.

Chilly morning at a few sties with 30's/lower 40's. Up in Cook county, temps down into the low-mid 30's.

[A-L-E-K]

some low end garden variety prospects as we approach the weekend, time 2 lock in

[michsnowfreak]

The usual cold spots in SE MI tanked this morning. 39F at Ann Arbor. With the cool mornings keeping the house cool and fresh, theres been no need for the AC in the afternoon. That will change tmrw or definitely Thursday. Regardless, why cant we have this low humidity all summer!

[OrdIowPitMsp]

82/45 is tops when you are sitting outside with a book. 

[cyclone77]

The dry air allowed us to drop to 49 early this morning.  Back up to 86 this afternoon.

The low dews are leading to spectacular mornings and evenings.  While it feels great, no humidity means no rain.  This is the second time in five weeks we've gone two weeks without rain.

[weatherbo]

Low of 49 overnight marks the warmest morning low of the year at my place.  A very warm and dry day on tap.  Should reach low 80's.

The weekly drought monitor is going to start being of interest across a wide part of the sub given the dryness.  We need some rain soon.

[A-L-E-K]

12z GFS not awful, at least for western portions of this sub

comfortable temps have def kept things from drying out too much with things still p green but that will probably change quick with some heat if we don't get another soak soon

[hawkeye_wx]

The lawns here are very noticeably browning.  However, all the ensembles are spitting out an average of 2.5+" of rain over the next two weeks, which should hold off any drought for a while.

[Torchageddon]

Another perfect day, maybe even the best of 2026 thus far. 26C/80F. There was not a cloud in the sky anywhere in southern ON/most of MI til dusk. This is now the 8th day; may be my fav wx pattern in a long time. With this immense amt. of sun for this region and long days I feel totally diff compared to just 3 weeks ago; I need to move to a diff climate for sure.

The lawns around here are just showing the first signs of burning, just today I saw the diff within 8 hours - whew. The rivers were very high in early Apr now they're low.

[A-L-E-K]

Should see some rain fri into sat, hoping for an overperformer

[Brian D]

Picked up 0.11" of rain this morning. Meager, so hopefully more to come later today.

Pretty big jump in the D0 category this week.

[A-L-E-K]

Tough but fair

18z guidance relatively aggressive with convection early sat, time to lock in

Nice donut over N IL. I think we’ll see some rain fasho but it won’t be much more that .25-.50”. Surrounding areas will do better.  Hope I’m wrong tho

Stms lurking around my area. Would be nice if one hit here.

Promising squall line collapsed and dissipated over the western metro. Barely wet the sidewalk here. 

[cyclone77]

Drought busted

Just over half an inch here.  Looks like almost another half inch to come.  Hopefully.
