OHweather Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 On 7/6/2026 at 1:08 PM, TheClimateChanger said: This is crazy. I didn't see anything about this until someone in the NE Ohio thread mentioned. There have been a few of these massive downpours over Lake Erie during the summer months over the last several summers. It happens when the lake water is in the upper 70s/lower 80s and we get slow moving convection over the lake (usually at night). Put-In-Bay got 8-10” of rain and flooded one night in August 2023, and there have been a couple other times where I remember radar estimates of 10”+ over the open lake. This event was very high end and affected an island directly. There was significant flooding from 4-7” of rain (after 1-3” the day before) along the western Lake Erie shoreline on Monday from continued lake enhanced thunderstorms. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had been wondering, lake are big enough that hypothetically if they get warm enough, you might see some pseudo tropical processes briefly at play 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Nice night to have the windows open and cool the house down. Low of 48 here, cool spot in MQT County was 40 @ Eagle Mine. Warm day in the upper-70's on tap before another round of heat settles in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 It will be interesting to see which model wins the heat battle this time, last heatwave it was the Euro lower on temps. This time the Euro is going nuts and the GFS is subdued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Rare severe storm over the Keweenaw coming in from the nw has held severe intensity since Isle Royal. Usually the cold water is a death nail to storms. Hopefully it holds together as it approaches the n shore of Marquette County. A storm would be nice to kick off the heatwave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Should have a nice long break from mowing in about a week or so as the lawns will start to fry up. Already been over a week without a drop of rain, and a long string of 90s on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Currently 78 in town (even on the shoreline), 80 at the TH arprt @ 9:30 am. And so it begins. Lets see if we can hit 100 in the area. WX wise that'd be awesome. Practically, ISH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 High of 84, well below the 92 forecasted. Had a severe warned storm move through that did not produce severe conditions but did drop .74" of much needed rain. Point up to 99 tomorrow. Gonna be brutal... currently 73. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 NAM tries to leak some moisture in to the area up under the ridge late week setting off some garden variety, something to watch as we torch under full sun for most the week 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks legit by the way, maybe a tad warm. Checked PWS stations around there and most were in the 100-103F range, even right to the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 MKE was 97F at the last METAR observation. Up to 98F/99F now, per 5 minute observations. Last ob was 99F. Due to rounding probably only 98F, but definitely above 97F. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
