Week of 8/23

[MWmetalhead]

The week ahead looks to be mostly dry. Some areas (such as my neighborhood) are still running a significant rainfall deficit. No such issue exists in Ann Arbor or especially Lansing, which has seen a ton of rain over the past couple weeks.

In the lower peninsula, the next chance of any widespread rainfall appears to be Wednesday night or Thursday, and totals do not look very impressive.

It also appears high temps will be within a few degrees of average most days.

My forecasted high temps for Detroit and for Grand Rapids:

8/23: 76, 73
8/24: 78, 77
8/25: 79, 79
8/26: 82, 82
8/27: 83, 81
8/28: 79, 80
8/29: 82, 82
8/30: 79, 79

GFS model run from 8AM this morning; first number is projected 5PM temp for Detroit and second number is projected 5PM temp for Grand Rapids:

8/23: 74, 73
8/24: 77, 77
8/25: 81, 80
8/26: 82, 84
8/27: 85, 83
8/28: 81, 83
8/29: 81, 81
8/30: 70, 79 (GFS shows a closed low over western PA; I'm skeptical of this solution. It is showing a 5PM temp of only 61 in Pittsburgh.)

Euro-AIFS (Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System) model run from 2AM this morning; first number is projected 2PM temp for Detroit and second number is projected 2PM temp for Grand Rapids (I was unable to obtain 5PM data from this source):

8/23: 74, 72
8/24: 73, 72
8/25: 76, 76
8/26: 79, 77
8/27: 80, 78
8/28: 76, 76
8/29: 79, 79
8/30: 80, 75

Watch all of this afternoon and evening's popcorn heavy shower activity completely miss my neighborhood for the second straight day.

Southfield along and south of 11 Mile just got a soaking downpour. Barely a sprinkle fell at my place.

Looks like some rain headed my way and hopefully yours though I see the gap in the line over that way.

Poured pretty good here… NWS said 10% chance of rain too.

I think this may be the coolest evening we've had in some time.

I love it. I have been waiting for this. The best time of the year is pretty much here. Hell yeah!

We got a heavy downpour here at 6:30 PM.

Yesterday in the early evening, it rained at my house for a whole three minutes. Only a few hundredths in the rain gauge.

It needs to warm the fuck back up.

Quarter inch in mine. Surprised me a bit.

Today's average high for DTW is 80.

We either reached it on the nose or were one degree either side of 80 today.
