Been hot, we've needed some rain
Here is shot of "Water Vapor" from Intellicast
For fresh input of water to the Great Lakes Basin, we need sources from the outside, either Pacific or Gulf of Mexico.
This looks like Pacific off the coast of Mexico
Winter, we sometimes get it from off coast of Canada.
We got the first bands last night, a bit before 9PM.
Minor bands overnight (about 2AM)
Then early this AM we picked up some more.
Of note is that as the water warms up (Lake Mich) the storms can hold together as they pass over the lake.
Earlier in the season, when the waters are colder, they seem to suck the energy out of the storms.
From now through the rest of the year, storms will carry across the Lake.
For the rest of the summer, we'll get occasional light shows.
As we are situated on the north shore, we get to see storms move across our view.
