my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.
I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.
I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 60/46 there was 0.17” of rainfall. The highest wind gust was 35 MPH out of the SW the sun was out 22% of the time. For today the average H/L is now 69/47 the record high of 87 was set in 2022 and the record low of 37 was set in 1981. The most rain fall of 1.43” fell in 1912. Last year the H/L was 79/53.
We are now 1/3 of the way through May and the mean at Grand Rapids is 59.3 that is a departure of +3.6 the highest for the month so far is 78 on the 4th and the lowest was earlier today with a low of 41. Here in MBY I got down to 39 overnight and at the current time it is clear and 52.
Flooding rains are in the forecast the next 2 weeks for Kansas and Missouri starting tonight with up to 2 inches possible by Tuesday afternoon. GFS is showing a lot of rain in the area the next 11 days.
To the bolded, I remember you saying on here how quiet the summers have been in Michigan and once the Storms/Severe WX return again, you would be getting excited for the following winter. Could next year be the reversal towards a more normal or even better Winter? Sometimes nature does funky things and shows signs of it and I hope to see "real winters" return for the Great Lakes once again. In the meantime, enjoy your summer bud and thanks for stopping by again!
That was a sarcastic comment because someone here always goes after Mark for his warm bias. Including this time. Presumably because Mark is old and grumpy now and doesn't like the same kind of weather he used to like... and apparently no longer cares about accuracy either.
In all fairness he called the 90s before anyone else this time (though Dave Salesky at KATU had 90 on Saturday for longer, and before he had 90 on Friday).
