Geos Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks like you're getting a lake chill. Yeah it hasn't touched 60° all day! 25° cooler than yesterday! A light coat is in order if your a bit closer to the lake. Only 51° at the lakefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Environment Canada issued a couple tornado warnings around Timmins and Kapuskasing in northeastern Ontario yesterday evening. Wunderground radar showed very intense hook and rotation on the supercell. It tracked over very sparsely populated areas so no tornadoes or funnel clouds were observed, but no doubt it produced in the open wilderness.

turtlehurricane Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The trees that have the snowflake-like pollen are going full force now, lots of little pollen-nadoes today as the light breeze hits buildings and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Cottonwood. I've seen areas underneath those trees totally covered over like it snowed! Haven't seen that floating around yet.

Things that can hit you on your head around here would include black walnuts and hickory nuts! Mid 40s tonight, dewpoint of 40°. Thinking it could drop some more.

BeastFromTheEast Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Starting to be the time of year that i want more north wind Today and tomorrow look gorgeous, but the heat comes back hard Fri/Sat with temps nearing 90F by Sat... Pull out the thongs next week...GFS has 20C 850 temps ...before crashing them to 0C!!! late next week. The heat doesn't seem to lock in around here for another month, so these hot shots should be short lived. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wow..frost? Michigan some sort of frost pocket? ...looks like a good bake Fri/Sat/Sun this week and then cool off for most of next week.

SpartyOn Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 6z GFS is the most summery I have seen so far. Throttles back the cool sub(240hrs) and turns up the 70s and 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wow..frost? Michigan some sort of frost pocket? Some spots like Grayling for example were down into the mid 20s for several hours last night. Hard freeze for them. It only made it to the mid 30s here so while it was frosty, it was a light frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 With the early vegetation this year and the relative dryness since April 1st, it really looks like mid July out there. The grass and leaves have that mid summer yellow tint to them already. I wonder what, if any, effect the early leaf out will have on fall foliage this year?

Hoosier Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That Euro prog (granted it's 10 days out) is a bit reminiscent of what we saw during the March warm spell. Except now it is 2 months later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm not biting on any heat wave yet, especially 10 days out! I expect to see a lot of 70s in the coming week though. Seems like the best warmth wants to set up in the Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
