  5. i'll be out on guiding a tour June 7-14th. hoping things can break by then, at least somewhat.
  6. you first need a heat wave in order to do that. .
  7. overrated for annuals too. frost is hyped nonsense.
  8. The bumpy middle 1/3rd of May is finally about to tap in, and looks to extend into the early portion of the final 1/3rd of May as well. A bit delayed, but not denied.
  9. Yea, it was confirmed to be legit. More of a landspout.
  10. Unless the NWS or some sort of emergency management was notified in real time, no one would have known it was even occurring.
  11. Three landspouts confirmed from Sunday evening in the vicinity of the I-80 corridor. There was a boundary in that area all afternoon, which was reinforced by a deep inland lake breeze.
  12. Todays record high is the “coldest” record high for the month of May. It’s one of only two days for the entire month that the record high isn’t 90°+, the other being May 13th (89°). .
  13. actually reading one of his posts was your first mistake. .
  14. who said the whole first half of may would be cold? .
  15. Solid summer-like day today. Started off mild and humid during the morning, before turning warm and drier for the afternoon. As mentioned in the Chicago record thread… ORD had a high temperature of 87° today, which tied the record high temperature for the date of 87°, set in 1936 and 1964.
  16. ORD had a high temperature of 87° today, which tied the record high temperature for the date of 87°, set in 1936 and 1964.
  17. While things look to improve overall, it also appears as though it will be a bumpy road for the beginning 1/3rd and middle 1/3rd of May (Especially the latter). Probably should keep expectations in check.
  18. Blowing dust/dust storm conditions once again today in Montgomery Co, in Central Illinois.
  19. truly the worst of the worst. It was the 4th coldest April on record for Chicago.
