needed some change. .

I’m not sold...Too many potential issues. This weekend/early next week will feature waves trapped between the two areas of main ridging, which will likely bring some precip/cloud issues. Then beyond early next week, how far north the ridging builds continues to be in question. And then add in that guidance has been terrible outside of 2 days out for months now. .

Streak is over. ORD finally had a TS overnight. .

When you’re right, you’re right. .

I wouldn’t be so sure yet. Tonight and Thursday could still throw a wrench into things. .

Go. .

On vacation this week, in the usual destination of St. Pete Beach... .

.

Time for record watch... Obviously still have 11 days to go in the month, but given how things have been and will continue to be for the near future, it’s worth watching. As of end of day today, ORD will sit at 2.43” of precip for spring 2021. Driest springs on record for Chicago: 1. 2.73” - 1887 2. 3.20” - 1934 3. 3.87” - 1994 4. 4.08” - 1886 5. 4.17” - 1885 .

Bump. About to roll into late May, and ORD still has yet to have a TS since mid-November of last year. .

Spent the past 8 days helping guide a chase tour. We unfortunately didn’t get a tornado, but had high quality storms most days...Chasing anywhere from near the Mexico border to Nebraska. If anyone has ever pondered heading out on one of these tours, do it. It’s one of the best experiences you’ll have...Not only because of the chasing, but because of the people you meet on the tour and along the way, and places you visit along the way. I’ll throw some pictures up later.

Euro was well south at the start, so really neither did well in the end. NAM was bad with handling the snow potential.

It most definitely did change, just not in a way that changed conditions much overall for some areas. Since April 1st, CMH has had 17 days above average and 19 days below average. April precip was 3.28”, which was only 0.12” below average. In the 36 days since April 1st at CMH..... 29 days had a high of 60+, average is 22.2 days. 13 days had a high of 70+, average is 11.6 days. 4 days had a high of 80+, average is 3.3 days. go sit in your corner. .

Someone doesn’t know their climo. .

where is NTXyankee with his daily complaint about how the pattern didn’t change? .

Not really a tornado environment down there today, but instead more of a cold air funnel environment. .
