Yes this August has been a very warm one by Michigan standards. The current mean for the month is 74.0° today will be below average and Friday will be near average so we will have to see where we end up at. It looks like we should be in the top 15.

Good question(s), I cannot answer that at the moment as I believe we are still in the same pattern, however, there is already early indication that the southern stream may be latching on. The amount of both PAC/GOM moisture coming into play over the next 2 weeks is a very encouraging sign heading into Sept. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
