hm8 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 DTX A LARGE SCALE AMPLIFYING TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL FORCE A DEEP SOUTHERLY TRAJECTORY OF THE WIND FIELD ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. A LARGE SCALE RIDGE IS FORECASTED TO DEVELOP...WHICH WOULD BRING THE FIRST LEGITIMATE STRETCH OF SUMMER WEATHER ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. HAVE GENERALLY PLAYED THE FORECAST IN A WARMING TREND...BUT PURE MODEL OUTPUT IS SUGGESTING THAT TEMPERATURES COULD BE TOPPING THE MIDDLE 70S BY TUESDAY. WITH THE HEIGHT FALLS IN PLACE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Card Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Let's hope we can get that ridge in here, Illinois corn in the ground is only 10% right now which is not good. Skilling seems to think the blocking over greenland is gonna dominate the next 2 weeks, he love's cold anyway, he never talks in depth about warmth anyway.

BowMeHunter Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thankfully it looks like the real heat only pays a visit for a couple days here on the euro and then back to normal and below.. Maybe stebo can finally get some of that heavy severe weather he predicted starting in late March for SE MI. to come to fruition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe stebo can finally get some of that heavy severe weather he predicted starting in late March for SE MI. to come to fruition You and Tropical are at odds for sure. Personally, I like a summer near average in temps (70s and 80s predominating, maybe a bit cooler than average) with plenty of storms. 2008 and last year were good summers, and even though '09 didn't have much severe, frequent 70s meant a very comfortable summer. After today, this upcoming pattern looks nice and typical for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna miss it when its gone and the house is closed up again for 4 months of AC -_- I was looking at MKE climate data and there's been one day in the 80's but everything else 60's or below. Sort of weird that there hasn't been any 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After today, this upcoming pattern looks nice and typical for May. I love the northern 4 seasons and the ups and downs they bring like today's high of 44 at 9:45am... Nothing worse than more than a couple of 70's/80's in april and first half of may to blow the best average high temps of the yr and have to use the AC. I actually don't mind hot weather in summer but as you get older the novelty for me started to wear off especially when its a swamp ass summer like all of 2010. I was addicted to the sun, hot temps and even some tanning booth springs in my teens all through most of my 20's and its amazing I don't have skin cancer yet. Its no secret I like it as cool as can be now but I can also appreciate some good ole las vegas type heat, just keep away the high DP air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Awe, somebody doesn't want to look at the cold front after a couple days of above normal temps. Torch starts next week.

wisconsinwx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Torch starts next week. Lets keep it going. 30 days of torch as payback for last 60 days of garbage. Yeah, I still can't believe it's already May. April is usually one of my favorite months of the year, but not this April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Wow, MSP is forecasted to be in the upper 60s all next weekend into early next week, while here we'll be in the 50s until next Tuesday. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 My fear with the model solutions now is that they're quite frankly crap. The set up would argue for more of a zonal flow versus anything really amplified. They did the same thing back in early April and we all remember how those mid/long range SE ridge didn't verify.

Negativity or realism?? . Now are you guys talking about the cold front that ATM looks like a non issue..At most a 2 day "cool" down then back to normal.

wisconsinwx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 That'd be true enough if inland areas weren't still several degrees cooler than MSP. Maybe the warm front is further south around here, while it is north of MSP at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Already down to 36 here. Looks like upper 20s tonight. Hope this is the last freeze/frost till October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Had a high of 60 which is on the cool side for this time of year but not too bad. Today is 2 weeks since the tornado hit south of here. I went past there again and it looks like it hit just a few days ago. Still a lot that needs to be cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how long that event lasted into the night. Severe season really hasn't started from I-80 north in Illinois. We had a few elevated hailers last month, but so far it's been pretty sleepy up here in the cold air. The 4/10 potential event was largely a huge bust for this area luckily.
