WWJ suffers one of its worst books of the PPM era

[MWmetalhead]

LMAO - weather forecast on WWJ called for sunny & hazy skies today.

Do they not have access to windows and a live radar over there?

Showers and storms are popping up in quite a few places. Zero mention of precip in the forecast I just heard.

To WWJ and AccuWeather's credit, the 9:08a update included a major revision to the forecast to reflect scattered shower and storm activity. Better late than never.

MW, you know the weather fairly well.

will rain wash out any of this forest fire haze, or does it not work that way?

That must have been some kind of error… they were talking storms yesterday.

At 9:08, the AccuWeather guy began with "we're going to need to make a change to the forecast..."

To answer Bill, heavy rain would help to clear the fumes out of the atmosphere, but any relief would be shortlived unless a big change to the mid and upper air pattern takes hold.

Heavy rains where the fires are burning would also help.

Well that’s weird.

A couple of hours later sunny and hazy is correct at least in eastern Washtenaw county.

Yeah, it has cleared up nicely, other than the lingering smoke plume. Other than an isolated pop up cell, we should be dry for remainder of the day.

A nasty bow echo is tracking across central Illinois. That will miss us easily.

A new storm complex may form out west after dark, but the core part of that system should dive SE toward Indiana and maybe western OH. We might see some weak shower and thunder action from the northern flank overnight. Better chance of substantial activity across far SW lower MI.

I noticed rain in Lyon Township, around Eight Mile and Pontiac Trail, but it was bone dry everywhere else. Weird.

Nothing weird at all. That's what the phrase "scattered showers" means. Or, as Sonny Eliot would say, a "renegade shower"

It was weird for me because I was everywhere from Dexter to Macomb Twp that day.

Hey Matt Benz of AccuWeather: THERE IS NO CITY IN OUR AREA CALLED "OAKLAND" !!!

One would think the station's ND or PD would get off their butt and inform him of that fact.
