BowMeHunter Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Really? Kinda strange: just last week you were complaining about the heat; now you're sick of the cold? Make up your mind. I personally want 70s and lower 80s to start coming in abundance, along with chances for severe weather. 3 days straight of 40's, light rain/drizzle all weekend and a wind advisory thrown in just for kicks gets to be nonsense especially when you have things planned for outside f/s/s. 86 and the high DP we had that one afternoon is equal to one of the days in the 40's if not worse as it was 83 in the house Thankfully we lucked out by the lake and escaped 2 xtra days of that record heat nonsense so early. I love the 4 seasons and the avg temps they bring.. so give me like 66 to 72 tops. lower 80's is for june. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 "T-Storms" are awesome not 45 degree weather clouds and steady rain . Especially when your in road work/outdoor construction. Were so backed up its actually getting a little nerve wrecking. If im blogging at 457pm on a Monday in the middle of May usually means im in a stand still BTW: mid 40's all day with off an on light rain showers=annoying Meh, I still like just wash-out days like we've been having over 80's and sunny, weird as that sounds. Totally understandable if you work outside though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me depressing but I love damp cool days with the steady patter of rain outside. A couple of nice sunny days thrown in is nice, and we've been getting that, so save for the lack of severe weather the last couple of month have been perfect to me. But we all know this by now...everyone has their own favorite kind of weather and not everyone is going to agree. Suum Cuique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Got down to 38 here this morning. We're under a frost advisory tonight, with a low of 34 expected. Hard to believe the AC was running all through the night last week lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The METAR at CLE has been reporting rain each hour for the past 24 hours. Quite possibly the most miserable May day in quite some time here. So far the high has only been 46. Just looking at the records that I have readily available (post 1948), the lowest max for this date is 51, so this is quite impressive. Also impressive ... It has rained 27 of the last 31 days at CLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all know this by now...everyone has their own favorite kind of weather and not everyone is going to agree. Suum Cuique. Totally, to each their own. From Ncvember thru March I love cloudy skies, we live in a region with a very cloudy winter climate as it is, but even if we went the entire time without any sun at all (basically impossible) it honestly wouldnt bother me. Now, from April-October, I love and prefer the sun, however cloudy days still do not bother me in the least. Ended up with 1.31" of rain with this latest storm. From heavy snow to heavy rain, it has been one hell of a wet year! Solid overcast the last two days and with temps mainly in the 40s with a north wind, it has felt like November rather than mid-May!

SpartyOn Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Something tells me mother nature is gonna make us pay for this active/wet past 4 months..Wondering if this Winter will be the Winter we are kinda past due for. A torchy and really lacking in snowfall. One last day of this chilly crap! Weekend looks nice a seasonally warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Card Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 med/long range 12z GFS looks solid. Good! So does the environmental canada outlooks have a proven track record for accureness, because the monthly euro is the opposite of canada's summer outlook. Sure hope it's right anf th euro wrong.

michsnowfreak Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Something tells me mother nature is gonna make us pay for this active/wet past 4 months..Wondering if this Winter will be the Winter we are kinda past due for. A torchy and really lacking in snowfall. One last day of this chilly crap! Weekend looks nice a seasonally warm. Certainly hope not. Dont think theres a real high chance of that happening. The only real time we tend to get a torchy winter with low snowfall is a strong El Nino. If we get a mild winter outside a Nino, often times it will be accompanied by storminess, so while snowcover geeks like me would be disappointed, the winter would probably feature several very nice snowstorms, possibly the big one that seems to be the only thing missing from our extended stretch of abnormal snowiness. That would mean, however, that the precipitation train just keeps on keeping on. Another option I could see would be a winter where we are very dry, but see a prolonged snowcover due to colder weather (and dry due to the fact that storminess is suppressed). Of course, I certainly hope none of the above happens and 2011-12 picks up right where 2010-11 left off at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear no frost down there. 35 is pretty cold though all things considrered how hot it had been recently. Did you catch the blueness of the sky yesterday, man that air was so clean and the sky reminded me of Colorado...nice day overall, sun helped a ton.

afterimage Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I recognize this time of year can have those pesky cut off lows that retrograde back towards us, but what a surreal sight to loop the radar and basically see a due west movement of the rain. Pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hoosier I believe mentioned it earlier, but the local TV weather hack here is shooting for the moon this summer. His forecast below: NORMAL JUNE-AUGUST TEMPERATURE AT WEST LAFAYETTE: 71.8°……PROJECTED: 80.1° To put it into perspective, the hottest summer on record at the WL COOP (records since 1901) is 1936 with an average temp of 79.0º. Days of 90º or higher that summer: 57 Days of 100º or higher that summer: 18 (101, 104, 103, 108, 109, 103, 107, 108, 110, 110, 111, 105, 101, 103, 101, 102, 101, and 101) Top 5 hottest summers on record at the WL COOP: 1) 79.0...1936 2) 78.7...1934 3) 77.5...1933 4) 77.0...1931 5) 76.7...1921 For comparison, here's the top 5 hottest summers since 1980 at the WL COOP: 1) 75.1...1983 2) 74.9...1995 3) 74.8...1988 and 2010 4) 74.5...2002 5) 73.8...1991 One I hope he's wrong, and two I'm taking the under on 80.1º.

Chicago WX Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Was there any reasoning behind this forecast? Shot in the dark? Really though, I don't see a "technical" explanation of why on his blog. http://blogs.wlfi.com/2011/05/06/33902/ I mean I can see the mean ridge setting up shop here for most of the summer, but the 80.1º call is pretty aggressive. A full degree higher than the hottest summer on record here? Yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Not quite as swampy azz next week on the 12z euro.. Kinna strange (well not really) as it as it has been pretty locked in to a system cutting way west of here and now has it going to LAF. Rather the heat held off until Memorial Day weekend anyways. Not a cloud in the sky again and a beautiful 53 degrees. Could do without the relentless breeziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wow turd continues next week as we never get into the warm sector this weekend with more clouds and NE winds next week. 12z EURO has us in the low 40s on Tuesday. Lovely. I'm about ready to write this summer off as worse than 2009. At least May of 2009 was halfway decent. More than half the trees are STILL bare here. Shortest summer ever.
