Powerball Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Made it to 86*F at Metro and 87*F at City. A thermometer I saw read 91*F. It wouldn't surprise me if areas between the airports and away from the waters made it to 90*F. That said, NAM is warmer for Tuesday, now showing lower 70s. Also, we should make it 80*F+ again tomorrow before the front/any convection comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 More humdrum weather though the holiday weekend. Summer is old and it hasn't even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Dropped all the way down to 43F from a high of 83F... Looks like a few perfect days coming up before the warmth returns and hopefully with that some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Traverse City had a high of 93 with a low of 70 today. That's incredible for May, let alone any other time of the year. The caveat is that the 70 might not hold through 1 am to make it official. Looks like 93/69 in Traverse City yesterday...normal is 67/43. A +26 departure in late May is amazing.

wisconsinwx Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Will be heading up to Door County later this week into Saturday. Right now the weather looks like your typical comfortable late May fare. Boy, May has to be my favorite time of the year weatherwise. Potential for thunderstorms ramps up, yet there are plentiful comfortable spring days as well, and less allergies for me at least than September and early October.

Hoosier Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Will be interesting to see how warm we get this weekend. I think mid 90's are possible at least one day between Sat-Mon but I'd go with a bit more conservative low 90's for now. My sister is going to the Indy 500...gonna be roasting.

I am shooting from the inside of turn three and we need to be there a minimum of 90 minutes before the race begins. It will not be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm hoping to avoid the heat as much as possible. Will be in DC/Silver Spring, MD Sunday and all next week and it would be nice not to walk in 90+ temps. Memorial day looks like 90-95 across a large area.

Stay hydrated Jim. As you know, IMS is a veritable oven with the crowds, asphalt, heat, and humidity. With a forecast of low to mid 90's, it's really gonna be cookin'.

Powerball Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 As the recent model runs show, they're struggling heavily with this highly amplified pattern devloping. Now the GFS is centering a 594dm ridge over the Ohio Vally again, where as yestrday it was centering a weaker ridge much further south, with the front stalling further south. Needless to say, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the extreme heat they were showing before returns in subsequent runs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The Euro had the upcoming heat pegged from 240+ hrs. It's looking like it will be very close on the amplitude of the ridge. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
