Some severe thunderstorms moved through SW Michigan last night. I looked out my hotel window and saw basically continuous lightning flashes and sheets of sideways rain. Lasted quite a while too. It’s been very warm but some very cool temps incoming tomorrow.

This is nuts.

Seems like south of the Jet there's record heat and when the ridge builds north we get it.


North of the Jet there's cold enough air that makes things extremely cold when it dips south.


We are in the middle of the battle as the Jet waves along.


Should be more flatter with ridging at times moving through May which means normal-above normal temps.
