I'm curious as to if anyone here can give me the following info:

Total days of rain, even just a quick shower, since May 1

How much rain we received since May 1, and how it compares to normal

Where this summer ranks as far as rainfall

Where this summer stood as far as temperatures and humidity from June 1-now

Working outside, rain totally destroys my day, so I tend to notice even the smallest amount. Does anyone have that info? Has this not been a funky summer?

West Michigan also said Wed would have the sun out which didn't happen either. The only time they use HRRR is when the storms come in about 24 hours otherwise they use a different model Anthony that works for WXMI Fox17 said that HRRR is only good about 24 hours out.

The computer models for literally a week straight have consistently been predicting lake-effect clouds for a good part of the day in most of the eastern part of Michigan with maybe some late-day clearing.

So, some weather outlets are calling for 50° plus as high on Sunday (NOAA), while some others calling for only 40° or less. It’ll be interesting to see what happens late this weekend.

10day NOAA had Eastern 1/2 above average then a nosedive by Christmas. Hawaii has a Blizzard Warning : this is messed-up

Did we need a High Wind Warning last night? It seems like many outlets such as NOAA, WDIV, Fox 2 we’re predicting 60mph wind gusts. The Weather Channel was a bit more conservative. I’m thinking that a Wind Advisory would have sufficed. Not sure if they were anticipating some of the high winds up in higher levels to be brought down in any rain or thunderstorms last night.

The warning was from 4 AM to noon then extended to 4 PM when the front stalled. They did downgrade it to an advisory around 1 PM. I definitely got strong gusts up to 50 mph.

Is it just because of how weather is hyped lately, or have we had a H*** preponderance of wind events since last fall? If I’d have to guess, I’d think that we’ve had nearly 10….

I heard our area was supposed to get 1-3 inches today. I'm totally not upset that they got it wrong.

No, that was the forecast on Friday night. It changed Saturday night when the warm front pulled slightly north. Flint, Saginaw, and other areas in mid Michigan did get 2-3.
