June is probably going to be a write-off. With the highest temperature of the year so far at 88 degrees just over a week ago (May 25th), it's going to take until at least next month to try to exceed it.

89'd today at DAY, highest temperature so far this year. Have a feeling it may be the highest it's going to get for this June.

I think you'll hit 90 today.

It’s crazy how much cool and dry air has been hanging around in the northern plains and Great Lakes so far this spring/early summer.   Even during the big tornado stretch in May the temps in Oklahoma and Kansas n of the warm front were only in the 50s

One of the odder looking probabilistic outlooks I've seen, with the sig area totally separate from the higher probs. This is the Day 2 outlook for tomorrow.

Yeah, has to do with an MCS moving through in the morning/early afternoon, which will be less severe but more of a sure bet to happen.  And then a more conditional threat of supercells to the west which would have more significant severe.

going to be in Minneapolis this weekend and ironically might escape the snow being up north.

HRRR wants to get a few fiesty thunderstorms up into S WI right along the warm front tomorrow.

Been hearing some talk about a potential year without a summer actually transpiring this year. Is there much truth to that? It wouldn't surprise me tbh.

Pinatubo, Krakatoa and Yellowstone all erupting tomorrow.  Decade without a summer

huge flakes in Madison,  some are easily half dollar size or bigger.  Already accumulating well on grassy surfaces.

Lol 3 feet of snow.  April is the new December

Yeah, there were a couple of very vivid lightning strikes that hit the radio towers on the SW side of town.  Probably tops most of the lightning I saw last year

some thunderstorms inbound to S Wisconsin and Illinois,  will be nice to hear a couple rumbles

So many old piles of snow here.  Some of this stuff will take weeks to melt 

This is a fun topic.  I'll put together some thoughts, not sure if it will be 10 or 20 or somewhere in between:

1) Jarrell, Texas 1997 - Some of the most complete damage of homes ever seen.  

2)  El Reno, Oklahoma 2011 - 1.9 million pound oil derrick was toppled and rolled 3 times.  20,000 pound truck was thrown over a mile

3)  Phil Campbell, Alabama 2011 - F5 damage for much of its length.  ground scouring, a car was completely destroyed and never found

4)  Bridge Creek, Oklahoma 1999 - The infamous Moore tornado of 99, measured 318 mph winds

5)  Smithville, Mississippi 2011 - Picked up an SUV and threw it a half mile into the towns water tower.  all plumbing in some hones were either shredded or missing

6)  Andover, Kansas 1991 - famous Andover tornado

7)  Kellerville, Texas 1995 - This was only rated an F4 but the damage to a home was so intense that the surveyors missed it.  Also ripped up multiple stretches of pavement.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qmJOy0bxMQ  (can be seenat 11:00 of this video)

8)  Guin, Alabama 1974 - One of the longest F5 damage paths for a tornado

9)  Goessel, Kansas 1990 - The second F5 for this supercell after the Hesston storm.  

10)  Plainfield, Illinois 1990 - Fujita said it was some of the most intense ground scouring he's ever seen

11)  Bakersfield Valley, Texas 1990- Only rated an F4 but rolled 180000 pound oil tanks 3 miles and 600 feet up a hill

12)  Stratton, Nebraska 1990 - also rated an F4 and fairly unknown but mangled farm equipment into balls and picked up mud from a lake and plastered it throughout the town(the pic below is of the incredible meso of this storm)

13)  Philadelphia, Mississippi 2011 - 2 foot deep ground scouring

14)  Brandenburg, Kentucky 1974

15)  Wheatland, Pennsylvania 1985

16)  Barneveld, Wisconsin 1984

17)  Loyal Valley, Texas 1999

18)  Jordan, Iowa 1976 - 

19) Mulhall, Oklahoma 1999

20)  Greensburg, Kansas 2007

overachieved slightly up to 36 today.  Excited for the 50s and possible thunderstorms this week.

Up to 34.  First time above freezing since Feb 24th.  The good news is that above freezing highs are forecast for the next 7 days.

12Z GFS trended SE and weaker with the low.  Bring the rain snow line into southern Wisconsin

down to -10 this morning in Madison, breaking the old record of -9.  Should be the only record we break during this cold snap.

Looks like we will be approaching the record lows on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of -8, -9 and -12 respectively.  As of right now record low maxs seem just out of reach, but the all time record low max for the month of March is 0.

If it's March 15 and were still having high temps 20 degrees below average I'll start posting in this thread

March looks to start out cold and (maybe) active.   Have a feeling that after the next two weeks most of us will be howling for spring.

32 here so pretty heavy rain that is freezing on cold sidewalks.   but the roads are mostly ok

12Z NAM bumping back west, with the heavy snow band lining up through Waterloo and La Crosse.

got down to at least -5 at 7 am this morning.  May have squeaked out a -6 in between hours.   Already up to 7 two hours later.

overachieved at 5.7" here

WWA hoisted for southern Wisconsin.  Expecting 3-4" here over an 18 hour period
