There's been some unbelievable thunderstorm development in northern Illinois, but it looks like this will leave us alone. | ||

Which will mean... Less Cloud Cover, More Instability, Severe Thunderstorms. | ||

This thread has become quite interesting. If we keep it up, we will have a pretty accurate documentation of how the weather was this season by the end of the summer. | ||

Interesting that there was a downpour in Detroit. There are hardly any clouds in Ann Arbor, let alone clouds with vertical development. The forecast still says 50 percent the next 24 hours and 60 percent tomorrow: bad news for the huge Art Fair. | ||

That's Funny, Nothern Macomb, Southern Lapeer, SEern Genessee, SWern St. Clair, and Northern Oakland are getting hit now with Thunderstorms. | ||

I see that. Is that along a warm front, Urb? | ||
Urbanize Member Username: Urbanize Post Number: 1797 Registered: 02-2007 |
Well, along a Upper Level Trough. | ||

Now, the SPC is considering a Watch box for areas along and northeast of a Detroit-to-Brighton Line. The Air is very Unstable along with good wind shear. However, there's so far been decent Subsidence across the areas south of 8 Mile. | ||

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/produc ts/md/md1521.html THat's why there's been so much action today across those regions compared to the South. THat's where the best forcing resides. | ||

NWS discussion reveals that they are expecting a storm cluster to pass through the entire area around daybreak. Until then, scattered storms and humid air. | ||

"NWS discussion reveals that they are expecting a storm cluster to pass through the entire area around daybreak. Until then, scattered storms and humid air." If you notice, that discussion was typed up and issued well before the SPC came into the room. Also, if you check their HWO, it's still cooperating with the SPC's outline, with the potential for SEvere WEather into the Evening. | ||

Now it's cloudy, and it might rain or even storm because, you know...it's freaking summer! Are you guys going to fill this forum with an ongoing play-by-play of normal, routine summer weather for the next two months? Take it over to the Non-Detroit section or some other weather discussion forum. | ||
Urbanize Member Username: Urbanize Post Number: 1801 Registered: 02-2007 |
I'm a bit concerned that whatever Supercells do develop could prompt a Tornado Warning at any time as the SPC's Day 1 outlook has The Central Portions of SE Michigan (including much of Detroit) under the 2% area for tornados, which is pretty significant. The reason I'm worried is because that Disturbance on the westside of the state, creating that cone in the center, and the turning of the winds around them do favor the possibility of rotating storms. So this will have to be watch by someone, as I'M GOING TO FLORIDA! | ||
Mackinaw Member Username: Mackinaw Post Number: 3271 Registered: 02-2005 |
Have fun. As per Mikem's bitching request, I'll shut up, unless there's a tornado warning. | ||

Really? Do you happen to know what the weather is in Brookings, South Dakota? | ||
Mackinaw Member Username: Mackinaw Post Number: 3280 Registered: 02-2005 |
What makes this such an interesting topic to discuss is the severe lack of rain during June and July. The weather pattern has sent so few weather systems toward southern Michigan, and it has been strange to see so many long, hot spells not broken with drenching rains afterward. And the last few days, with lots of weather systems crossing the lakes, we've gotten some very light rain while areas north and south of the metro area have been completely drenched, at times by severe storms. | ||
