==================================================================
CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMARY FOR FLINT/SAGINAW - JUNE 2009
...SUMMER STARTS OUT ON A SOUR NOTE WITH THE WETTEST JUNE ON RECORD
IN FLINT...
...FLINT ALSO JUST MISSES HAVING WETTEST JUNE DAY EVER...
...WETTEST JUNE ON RECORD ALSO RANKS ONE OF THE COOLER ONES...
...TORRENTIAL RAINS IN A COUPLE OF INSTANCES CAUSE FLOODING...
***DOMINANT TEMPERATURE/RAIN TREND...BELOW NORMAL/ABOVE NORMAL***
AFTER A WET SPRING...SUMMER STARTED OUT THE SAME...WET. SO MUCH
SO...THAT FLINT HAD ITS WETTEST JUNE ON RECORD. THE 6.57" OF RAIN
SURPASSED THE PREVIOUS NUMBER ONE JUNE OF 6.52" RECEIVED BACK IN
1994. WITH OCCASIONAL STORMS AND HEAVY RAINS...THIS ONLY EXASPERATED
THE WET GROUND FROM THE WINTER AND SPRING. FURTHER NORTH...SAGINAW
AND THE THUMB REGION RECEIVED A BIT LESS RAIN WITH GENERALLY THREE
TO FIVE INCHES...STILL ABOVE THE NORM AT A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT.
OTHER HIGHER TOTALS FOR JUNE INCLUDE...5.18" IN LAPEER...4.94" IN
CARO...4.73" IN BROWN CITY..AND 4.37" AT SANDUSKY. ALSO...AS OF THE
END OF JUNE...MANY AREAS ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN SAW
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF THREE TO AS MUCH AS SIX INCHES ABOVE THE NORM
FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR.
ISOLATED STORMS CONTAINING TORRENTIAL RAINS VISITED A FEW TIMES
DURING THE MONTH. THE MOST NOTABLE FOR THE FLINT AREA CAME ON THE
17TH. PERSISITENT STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE SAME REGION ON THE 17TH
FLOODED THE FLINT REGION WITH NEARLY THREE AND A HALF INCHES /3.46"/
OF RAIN. THIS BY FAR BROKE THE OLD RECORD FOR THE DATE OF 1.35" IN
1956. IN FACT...THE RECORD DAILY RAINFALL FOR ALL OF JUNE WAS IN
JEOPARDY RIGHT UP TILL THE THE RAIN DROP WITH THAT 3.46" APPROACHING
THE 3.48" RECORD ON JUNE 1ST 1943. THEREFORE THE RECORD STILL
STANDS...BUT JUST BARELY! NEEDLESS TO SAY...URBAN FLOODING WAS A
PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE FLINT AREA AFTER MUCH OF THE RAIN /3.02"/
FELL IN ABOUT SIX HOURS. SOME OTHER HIGH AMOUNTS INCLUDE...A
WHOPPING 5.00" IN IMLAY...2.30" AT LAPEER...2.25" IN DECKER.
ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN EVENT CAME ON THE 19-20TH AND A FEW SEVERE STORMS
WITH LARGE HAIL ON THE 25TH. FIRST OFF...IMPRESSIVE WIDESPREAD HEAVY
RAINS ACCOMPANIED MORE STORMS THAT MOVED OVER THE REGION LATE ON THE
19TH INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS OF THE 20TH CAUSING LOWLAND AND RIVER
FLOODING. FLINT RECEIVED ANOTHER 1.05" DURING THESE STORMS AND SOME
OTHER HIGHER (AND AGAIN...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD) AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL
INCLUDED OVER TWO INCHES /2.08"/ JUST SOUTHWEST OF OWOSSO...1.72"
NORTHEAST OF MIDLAND...1.60" AT DURAND...AND 1.44" AT LINDEN. THEN
LATER IN THE WEEK ON THE 25TH...SEVERE WEATHER ROCKED THE AREA FROM
I-69 SOUTH INTO THE METRO DETROIT AREA...WHERE MUCH OF THE DAMAGE
WAS CENTERED ACROSS THE NORTHERN SUBURBS. HOWEVER...THE TOWNS OF
DAVISON AND GENESEE TWP REPORTED HAIL AN INCH IN DIAMETER. SLIGHTLY
SMALLER HIT VASSAR...OTTER LAKE AND WEST LAPEER.
BESIDES THE WETNESS...THE OTHER MAIN TREND OF THE MONTH WAS THE
COOLNESS (OR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES)...MAINLY THE FIRST HALF OF
THE MONTH. FROM THE 1ST THROUGH THE 16TH...TEMPERATURES AVERAGED
AROUND 60...OR 5 TO 6 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BY THAT POINT. IF THOSE
AVERAGES HAD CONTINUED...MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WOULD HAVE
EXPERIENCED ITS COLDEST JUNE ON RECORD. FORTUNATELY (AND SOMEWHAT
IRONICALLY)...TEMPERATURES WARMED JUST IN TIME FOR THE CALENDAR
BEGINNING /21ST/ OF SUMMER. A WARM STRETCH OF WEATHER IN THE 80S
AND EVEN A COUPLE OF 90S /91 AT FLINT AND 93 AT SAGINAW ON THE 24TH/
ERASED MUCH OF THAT COLD BELOW NORMAL DEPARTURE ACCUMULATED THE
FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH. TEMPERATURE DEPARTURES BY THE END OF THE
MONTH ENDED UP BEING JUST ABOUT A DEGREE AND A HALF BELOW NORMAL.
STILL...FLINT MANAGED BEING THE 17TH COOLEST ON RECORD WITH THE
64.9 AVERAGE.
