Odd thunderstorm cycle over Michigan for next 6 days

Posted by in category: climatology

O,.o.


Hot and humid weather, combined with upper-air disturbances, will put Michigan in a thunderstorm pattern over the next week. The interesting part is the thunderstorms won’t come at the likely time of the day.

Normally summer thunderstorms flare up in the heat of the afternoon and early evening, and then diminish overnight. The recent thunderstorm pattern has a bit of a different life cycle. The thunderstorms have been developing overnight, lasting about 12 hours and diminishing to nothing during the morning.

We could have one of these nighttime thunderstorm cycles each night from tonight through next Monday. By late Monday we will finally have a lowering of the humidity, but only for a few days.
