Forecast Discussion
...Lowering trends for showers and storms today.. An upper level low situated over the northern Great Lakes will bring warm air associated with a quasi stationary boundary down through the region. this will skirt the northern half of central Michigan. However, the system continues to dry, with an increase of stability. This and a mid to low level ridging through the western portion of the state will preclude any widespread convection. Latest HREF gives indication for the chance for scattered convection but that shouldn`t occur until the passage of a cold front with a low level jet tonight into tomorrow. ...Warm and Humid this week... A large upper level low will move through the northern Great lakes through the week. This low will deepen and intensify as it moves eastward. However, any significant showers will be through eastern Michigan with only light showers along the US 127 corridor. Temperatures will continue to trend warm with this week possibly the warmest through the region so far this year. Max temperatures will remain in the upper 80s to low 90s through the week. ...Next significant chance of Rain this weekend... The upper level low will drift east and northward and should merge with a larger low. This will create a zonal flow with a moisture boundary along it this weekend. The flow of moisture along this boundary has slightly anomalous GEFS anomalous PWATS. If this baroclinic zone continues it could see the best chance for widespread rain.
Midway through Summer only four 90* degree days not bad at all lets keep it going less heat more sunshine…. INDY

Another air quality alert day? How many have we had already? It’s getting to be like the non stop winter weather advisory’s for a tenth of an inch of snow. Maybe they should come up with a new one, like Summer Weather Advisory. Hit 89.6 here yesterday. Technically not 90 unless your thermometer rounds up. Not sure who can tell the difference between 89.6 and 90.0
I am not sure why we need Air Quality Alert days. but hey it looks like in the US we need some kind of issues and or warmings for everything. As for who can tell the difference between 88,89, 90, 91ect well who can tell the difference between 35,34,33. Most people can not. They say it is hot or cold. As for the AQA I will post the official forecast for London and see the difference in their forecast compared to ours in the US. Take a look at not only the NWS but the for profit weather people like… Read more »

For sure a lot less hype than what most of our forecasts have. Interesting read though. Totally different perspective and take on weather.
Scotland has a new all time high temp record of 94.6 degrees – smashing the old record by more than three degrees.
More than 1,100 people have died in this latest heat wave in Europe. It is unbelievable.
Phew, the heat is on! Is it enough to propel us to a third straight warm month?
It’s fixin’ to be a hot one today. 80 here already.
BTY it is now just past noon in London and their current temperature is 35C that is 95F the DP is very low as the real feel is 34 and the wind is out of the SE. The forecasted high there is 38C that is 100.4F remember very few have AC in England.

Just heard that there is a 102 temp in England – the highest temp ever recorded in the UK. We’ll have to wait to see if there are any other higher temps recorded.
Forecasted high for Paris today is 106, 100 for Berlin, and even 87 in Edinburgh.
