Looking at the models for Friday on through the weekend I was pleasantly surprised to the the guesses for rainfall totals has gone up a bit. The NAM and GFS is showing 1.25 to close to two inches for most of the state. While this won’t bring us to normal for the month this will be an on and off rain as a low pressure system rotates through the state. This should be of the kind which will soak into the ground rather than quickly run off. The feature graphic is the NAM rainfall through Sunday.
A large area of high pressure centered over Southern Ontario will build slowly east today. This will allow a low pressure system to track eastward into the Great Lakes Region for the end of the week and into the weekend. This low pressure system will bring with it showers and thunderstorms with some locally heavy rainfall. Below is the SPC forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

The above normal temps are set for most of next week. Yep, that’s right. ABOVE normal . Oh, even a shot at another 90 degree day.. Hahaha.
The updated CPC’s long range guess for August shows more warmth in August

and for the winter it is showing a typical El Nno look

Huh. Imagine that. All I’ve read for three days is that Summers over.
Lol
Wow! Many on here said it was going to turn colder. Who knew!
Water temps in the 50’s that’s a bit chilly for this time of year!! Indydog14!!
Ever hear of up-welling? Happens several times every Summer. You might want to read up on it:

You might want to open your eyes outside at 930 hows that sound? Yeaaaa!! INDYDOG14!
How does this correspond with up-welling?
Short term East wind .. blows the warm waters out to the middle of the lk.. INDYDOGSPRITES
Lake Michigan still very warm for this time of year!

In doing some research for Saturday’s post I found out that going back to 1950 there have been more warm/hot meteorological summer months then dry ones. If we get the forecasted rain that would take 2018 off the dry list. Note June 2018 did NOT make the warm nor dry list. July at this time is still in the running for both.

I noticed it’s just about dark now at 930 we are losing daylight.. Summer is flying and yet no good thunderstorms or Tornadoes across the country!! INDYDOG14!
We have lost a whopping total of 7 minutes of daylight so far in the evening.

The latest CFS weeklies show some very warm air returning mid August.
CPC’s long range guess. Warm August, El Nno look for late fall and the winter.

All signs and trends point towards below to near normal temps the rest of this summer. You may see a couple days next week with slightly above normal temps but then the slid downward will be in full effect! We will not see any more 90 degree temps in GR the rest of this summer! Mark it down!
100% wrong again
Right on Mookie. 😉
Many on here posted confidently GR wouldn’t come close to another 90 degree in July. Well, WOOD currently has 86, 89, 85 for next week now!
Bring on the rain and tons of below normal temps the rest of this summer!
