Chicago WX Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Severe cell (previously tornado warned) heading our way. Then the stuff in IL later. We're making up for the quiet stretch. Yep. What's this make, 2 SVR Warnings and 1 TOR Warning on the day for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yep. What's this make, 2 SVR Warnings and 1 TOR Warning on the day for us? And like 14 hours of tornado watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 And like 14 hours of tornado watches. Have to throw in a Flash Flood Warning and Watch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHSnow Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Funnel cloud reported over Cuyahoga Falls at 7:38 PM, per the tornado warning statement. Just before that was issued, I noticed that line of severe thunderstorms was exhibiting some rotation, nothing major, but capable of producing a brief, isolated, rain-wrapped F0 or F1-type tornado. Also VILs through the roof, so golfball (or larger) size hail may be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 My dad just got back from a drive outside...said the flooding here is the worst he's seen it in 20 years of living here. Its subsided a bit now, but he said out neighbors literally had a 4 foot wide river running down their lawn. Crazy, wish I had seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just took a look at the long-range 12z GFS... looks like a hot weather pattern building in for most of the country. I know most here are going cooler, but I'm expecting another hot summer like last year. Looking at the weather data back home, there's been 8 straight days warmer than normal. I don't see any real end in sight to that... could string together two to three or more weeks of warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Despite air temperatures being a couple degrees above normal here, Lake Erie is running a whopping 4 degrees below normal for this time of year at the Cleveland measuring site. Currently it's 51 degrees versus an average lake temp of 55 degrees. Really proves the point that taking the high temperature of the day (regardless of time and duration of that temperature) and adding the low temperature and then dividing by 2 is not indicative of the "actual" average temperature. First time I've ever seen my street corner flooded this evening: about 1" of rain in 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Erie water temps are taken 40 feet below the surface at the Crib, and not necessarily indicative of the surface. Surface temps may be significantly warmer.

Trent Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Lake Erie water temps are taken 40 feet below the surface at the Crib, and not necessarily indicative of the surface. Surface temps may be significantly warmer. That's exactly my point. These temps aren't prone to daily fluctuations and are more indicative of long term patterns. It's just interesting how the long term surface air temps are a few degrees above normal, while the lake temps have not been able to rebound. But in the eyes of the record books a day that is 65 at midnight and then cloudy and 42 for every hour during the day will be no colder than a day that is sunny and has a quick intra hour decouple of 37 in the morning that rises to 70 by 11 am and sits there all afternoon. However the lake temps tell the real story with "average" temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Needless to say our May local "mini-drought" is done and over with. I assume rainfall amounts are easily 2" or over from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 After a very stormy start today turned out pretty nice from late morning through late afternoon. Warmed up to 75 with some mixed sun and humidity. The cold front slipped through around 5pm and our temps plummeted to the low 50s by mid evening with strong north winds. More rain moved in as well. Picked up just under 1.70" of rain for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's pouring pretty good again out there. Getting pretty windy too. Probably 30mph+ gusts out there right now with a cold, driving rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yesterday's rainfall totals from the locals around here in the 3.00-3.50" range. Looking at the WL COOP records, it is the rainiest day in May since 5/28/2000 (4.79"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 After a couple more days of crap, it looks like we ramp up into a straight up mid summer pattern, lots of warmth but not without periodic impulses. Entering a prolonged warm/hot stretch with above average soil moisture is always a good things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 45 degrees here down to chicago with winds sustained around 25 gusting to a high of 41... Can't imagine I've experienced a more miserable three days in May than the last 3.. We just did this kind of silly stretch of 40's on the 14/15/16th of may.. Looks like we'll be payed pack with a brilliant weekend although could be a little wet and possibly a few storms while camping in SW WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to torch, storms will serve to keep conditions somewhat tolerable. If it is going to be bright and sunny with highs well into the 80s, I will be upset, if only because it will be difficult to adjust from 30 degree windchills to 90 degree heat indexes in the course of 3 days.

One day wonders then back to NE winds after a front slides down the lake? That's what it REALLY seems like this year. Every warm spell was only 1 day long.
