  1. Weird, I haven't seen nor heard the first one up here.
  2. @Hoosier The discussion concerning UHI reminded me of a discussion a few days ago about LAF. You and Tim mentioned a long-time sensor issue, but it also could be UHI. Coincidentally, a forecaster at IND mentioned it in the early morning discussion today, calling it a "micro-climate." "HIGHS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S, WITH ISOLATED LOCATIONS IN NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA EXCEEDING 90, MOST NAMELY LAFAYETTE WHERE A WARMER MICROCLIMATE HAS BEEN OBSERVED"
  3. Dude, did you used to live in Saukville, WI? Grow palms as a hobby? So it rained today. Have you looked at your forecast? Be prepared to get 89'd for a record number of days beginning on Sunday.

  4. Feast here. I'll end up with 4.34" for the month and FWA is at 4.67", while ORD is at 1.79". FWA at 13.75" for the year vs. 6.95" at ORD. The difference is stark.
  5. FWA's min max for the day is 54 (1984), but was already midnighted at 55°. Current conditions: light rain, 47°, NE winds at 15 MPH.
  6. It's sad when you have to hope for something to happen with a back-door front
  7. In the meantime, our forecast out this way has had rain in it for almost every period since last Saturday night. Total ? The big T. If we don't see anything making it this far east today, we're out of luck until at least early next week and more likely mid-week. The rich get richer.... I was attending an online workshop hosted by IWX yesterday and after it was over a couple of mets and a couple of us stayed online for awhile. They are becoming pretty concerned about drought in our area. Even though Hoosier takes some ribbing about it, the drought thread may have legs for at least part of the subforum.
  8. I asked the same question a couple months ago. Hope all is well with him.
  9. I’ve been working at the local health dept shot clinic since it opened and I’ve spoken to 2 people who reported any major symptoms (out of hundreds). A sore arm for day was well worth the peace of mind I now have.
  10. I wondered how long it would be before you bumped that.
  11. 1988 is the holy grail of heat waves to me. It is the summer equivalent of the '78 blizzard. I drove from Indiana to Washington D. C. the middle of July in an F-150 with no air conditioning and spent a few days sightseeing on the Mall with temps in the mid-upper 90's every day. I don't remember the exact date, but it hit 104° at the airport on one of those days. The Mall was cookin'. Good times.
  12. Should be the last freeze here also. However, with WAA not really kicking in by tomorrow night and winds going calm, we could still see a little frost.
  13. No. I did see reports of up to 4" in isolated areas (pictures of backyard gauges on social media). But most CoCoRaHS reports were 2.5" and under.
  14. Thanks for posting that. An interesting read. They are saying that as of now, the US death toll is 905,289 vs. the reported 574,043.
  15. I caught 2.06" here. The flakes were flying earlier north of Fort Wayne (Noble/Dekalb Counties):
  16. I sat in on a webinar a few weeks ago where they discussed that they massaged the numbers, but I don't remember if they mentioned any specifics or at least had any examples. I won't be back into the office until midweek, but I'll look to see if I saved it, and if so, will check to see if there is any helpful dialog. As you said, Ricky may have some answers
  17. IWX just received a report of flakes mixing in LaPaz, IN in northern Marshall county.
  18. Solid rain event here. 0.98" at 7 AM (Eastern). Numerous lightning strikes in the past hour. Seems strange though while sitting at 40°. It looks like our area is line for 2" or more total. No flooding concerns though with the rain falling over an 18 hour window.
  19. Another forgettable spring in an ongoing string of them
  20. It's a lot different here in BFE, percentages are about 80-20 wearing masks in stores.
