There's always the Flowbee.

Frost advisory was a big bust as widespread cloud cover COC blocked the potential.

Low to mid 90s for central/southern MN on the Euro around day 10. Most of the sub only makes it to the low to mid 80s though.

Those bad boys are mean as hell. If you're gonna shoot their nest with a bee-bee gun, make sure you have a clean escape route, and fast transportation away from the area.

We reached 99 degrees less than 6 weeks after our last snow flakes that season.

Only made it to 48 today, with a steady light rain all day. Picked up 1.05" since last evening.

Are we gonna have a homicidal wasp thread?

Yellowstone?

Unless something changes on the models that will bust. Could spend most of the day in the mid 40s with cold rain falling. Maybe we can sneak in a 50 reading early in the day before the steadier rains move in.

It's gonna be in the 40s all day Tue with rain. It might as well be snowing lol.

12z Euro shows some flurries around the Chicago area on Friday lol. Meanwhile, today is fantastic. Lots of sun after some morning clouds, and temps have jumped into the 70s.

Early planting is usually kind of a waste of time anyway. Nothing really takes off until we start getting the warm/humid nights consistently, which is usually June. Everything explodes in growth then, so if you planted something late it would usually catch up to whatever was planted early/successfully anyway.

We have 99 confirmed at ours, with 2 deaths. That's with only 2 counties reporting, there's about 3 other counties with workers that haven't reported.

Today was quite lame.

With some work you could clone those out in Photoshop/Lightroom if you shot in raw format.

All I wanna know is if MLB is ever going to give money back to their fans for tickets already purchased? So far there have been no refunds for games that should have already been played. I guess the games are still technically postponed, which is ridiculous cause the games will not be made up, especially with fans in attendance. I have 3 tickets for Yankee game May 24 at Skankee Stadium. Was really looking forward to seeing a game there, even if it isn't the original house that Baby Ruth built. Anyway, what the MLB is pulling right now with their loyal fans in the midst of this financial crisis is enough for me to vow that I will never purchase one of their tickets ever again. I hope more do the same. **** them.

SPC removed most of north IL from the day 2 threat. Euro and RGEM both continue to develop some precip over the area, so I guess we'll have to see how things evolve.

18z 3km NAM continues to show expansive cloud cover that severely limits surface heating for most of the risk area Tuesday. Will be interesting to see if the HRRR shows this as well when we get within 36hrs. If the NAM verifies this one is DOA.

3km NAM looks to be way under-doing surface temps compared to the Euro. It looks like it has extensive cloud cover that limits heating throughout the day, and resulting in a stout EML above the cooler surface temps. The Euro has been advertising a much more mixed, warmer surface regime for many days, and results in surface temps 10+ degrees warmer. It continues to insist on convection taking off later Tue afternoon over northern IL, in a fairly impressive thermodynamic environment. It will be interesting to see which model wins out.

Yeah there's definitely some conditional potential there. 00z NAM showing some capping around H8 that would limit potential. Would make sense with warm southwesterly flow feeding into the area above the BL. Not much in the way of height falls either to help. EC has been consistent in breaking out precip/convection around 00z late Tue, so that is encouraging. Previous runs of the NAM have less capping compared to the new 00z, so hopefully trends reverse with subsequent NAM cycles.

Still working 5-6 days a week, with over 2000 employees where I work. There are personnel taking everyones temps upon arrival everyday, but fever may not show up until other symptoms arise, which would be too late. I pretty much plan on getting it at some point over the next month or two. If I don't that's great. If so, hopefully I'll kick it's ass and move on. Outside of work I just do my best to minimize exposure to others as much as possible.

Think Broyles half-assed it per usual. Based on model data last eve the threat should have been much further north in coverage. Later model data could change that, but based off the data he should have been looking at the threat area was poorly outlined.

It's in there

Well I wasn't going to go there, but thanks for clarifying that lol.

That combo is a ticking time bomb without the help of the virus.
