Summer Pays A Visit

90? you got it over the next few days. Of course like anything there is some red tape.

Here is the surface map.


Warm front has lifted well into Northern Ontraio. Out ahead of it very "hot" air. Infact, temps had no problem reaching the upper 90s in Minnesota Monday Afternoon.


The core of the hot air will take a run at Michigan starting Tuesday and will peak on Wednesday before a cold front that may trigger a t-storm on Thursday moves in. I think will sneak in another 90 or close to 90 degree day on Thursday before storms fire Thursday Afternoon - Will touch on Thursday in a sec.


Tuesday, will have a southeast wind flow. That will keep the Lake Huron, St.Clair and Erie shore lines around 80. Areas inland will reach the upper 80s with sunshine. So thats the red tape I was talkin about earlier.


Wednesday the red tape gets takin away and a southwest wind takes over, that sends the 56 dregee cooled water air into Ontario. Highs across all of Southern Lower MI should have no issues reaching 90. Also, higher dewpoints will be rollin in on Wednesday as well. Dewpoints are a mesurement of how moist the air is. The dewpoint temperatures won't be to bad Monday Night, and Tuesday. So you might be able to get away with out you're AC through Tuesday Night (espeically if you live near the lakes). But Wednesday, the dewpoints go up, and so does the unconfort level. Also Wednesday Night, temps will struggle to drop below 70.


Thursday, we take another run at 90. But a cold front will be knockin on lower Michigans Door.





Right now, its a slim chance of storms. Timing is an issue of the front passage and will have to be ironed out over the next couple of days along with severe weather chances. What this front will do though is drop us about 10 drgrees on Friday.
Friday night and Saturday Morning a backdoor cold front (a front that moves from NE to SW) will move across Lake Huron and into Lower MI. Still a question if it will produce rain. But this is the bad news part of the blog as temps take a tumble for Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Highs will be in the 70s inland across Lower MI and 60s across Northern MI. Still pretty nice, but a little cool for water fun such as boating and jet sking.
Will have a better up north forecast for the upcoming memorial day weekend on Thursday. Including an update on burning bands.
