Niko Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 A tad humid and warmer today in SEMI. It felt more like summer than early Autumn. A few more clouds were around, but, no complaints. At least the 40s are looking to be gone now for awhile. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

We (SWMI) lucked out last night catching a wave of decent rain that swept along the underside of the advancing warm front. It diminished as it came inland towards Marshall, but even there I had a good sized puddle at the mouth of my driveway. We also scored a brief soaking yesterday evening, so things have started off on a much better foot for this event. (I saw somewhere that Kzoo had recorded only 0.76" for all of June!)

I checked the radar back home before I hit the sack here and there were training storms over my place and the counties just north which sparked Flood Warnings.

Oddly, zero listings east of there for Kzoo, Calhoun, Barry counties. Guessing that means the amounts fell below the "Heavy Rain" threshold. No graphic from that office either.

For all of SPC's outlines including far south MI, we've managed ZERO severe (or even close) T-storms, and maybe one single garden variety T-storm/shower. This past 24 hrs = same ol same ol.

Last night's MCS made it farther east than the models predicted, but it still began to quickly diminish as it moved through CR. I picked up 0.16" from it, boosting my 2-day total to 1.08".

bud2380 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 my two day total is 0.00". We had a brief shower that barely got the ground wet, so perhaps a trace would be more accurate. Hopefully the next round hits the I-80 corridor, we're getting a bit dry here, thankfully the heat went away or it would really be trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky looked more and more ominous. Guess what the outcome was......Wind guts to 30mph and a brief shower. It looked like a severe storm was coming and ended up not being one.
