Geos Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Today was the perfect day for May. Upper 60s, lows in the mid 40s. Maybe one too many clouds, but the 40° dewpoints made up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The forecast for the next few days is almost too May-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yup... might be camping for the first time in a long time. Hopefully wx cooperates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If its going to boring then let be it warm and sunny. Not cool and cloudy. IMO. The lack of thunderstorm days is noteable so i see where you are coming from stebo. Although last week was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the 16-20°C temperatures for the remainder of the month! Maybe add in a few days between 20°-25°. Edit: Looking chilly tomorrow night!

The lack of thunderstorm days is noteable so i see where you are coming from stebo. Although last week was fun. It's early May. We have 3+ months of severe weather chances to go. And actually the heart of our severe weather season locally (while the storms may not necessarily feature tornadoes, but rather damaging winds/wet microbursts) isn't until mid-late May through early July, then again in late August. I really don't expect any active patterns to set up severe weather-wise in early May (other than the occasional day like we had on May 3rd), especially with the still cool lake waters surrounding us. Anything that happens at this point is considered a bonus. That said, the forecasted tempertures are expected to be very May-like, and it doesn't look like we'll have to deal with stratocumulus very much in the near future, which is perfectly fine with me. The only strange thing is seeing all the trees in full bloom, where as in a normal season the buds would just be opening up by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Next 5 to 7 days look awesome... Upper 60Fs/low 70Fs.... Friday looks to be the warmest with temps near 80F...but not much chance of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Got some showers in the area this morning. Sort of a raw day, cloudy and low 50s. Edit: Just had a shower with a few small hail stones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just had a heavy/gusty rain shower come through. I love days like this as well, with the rinse/wash/repeat type of rain showers with the sunshine in between the. May even get a t'storm as the day progresses.

Hoosier Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Next 10 days look pretty uneventful. Maybe we break out of it after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 After missing out almost completely last week I'm a bit bummed to see another 7+ days of uneventful weather, but it does look very pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Looks like those who chose an early/mid May chaser vacation are going to be disappointed. Seems that every time a major meteorologist predicts a busy season, its safe to assume the opposite and cancel all storm chasing plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Surprisingly decent bout of pea sized hail just now. Covered the ground. Mildly impressed with the amount of convection overall across MI, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 your last freezing temp is a week later than mine. how far are you from lake michigan? Really? I'm almost 5 miles away. And I'm away from the UHI for the most part. Had 31° the morning of the 27th. Probably had an offshore flow that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If its going to boring then let be it warm and sunny. Not cool and cloudy. IMO. The lack of thunderstorm days is noteable so i see where you are coming from stebo. Although last week was fun. The 3rd was really hit-and-miss where I live and I didn't have time to drive far that day. The lake breeze pulled it's usual number on Ottowa, Allegan, and Kent counties. This spring is quite a disappointment so far for me in terms of thunderstorms. The next two weeks look really quiet with a persistent NW flow off the 500 hPa ridge anchored over western half of the US. I suppose the SE states could use the rain in this pattern though, considering the long term drought they've been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Torch warning. Looks to move to much milder readings in the next several weeks. CPC, NAEFS, EURO weeklies, and CFS v2 all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
