daddylonglegs Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sunshine this morning...temps should rise quickly today into the low 70Fs.. I've noticed the Euro from last night kept the warmth through Sunday... That would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Cloudy, damp, and chilly yet again this morning. An area of rain is moving in from the south. The nws has chopped off several degrees from the forecasted high today and even that may be optimistic. The temp already came up well short Sunday and Monday. This is getting old.

wisconsinwx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I wore shorts today hoping we would make a run at 70. What a surprise, we're socked in with clouds and mid 50s still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Nam is pretty impressive. Widespread upper 80s from IL through the thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I wore shorts today hoping we would make a run at 70. What a surprise, we're socked in with clouds and mid 50s still. Same story down here. 55°, solid overcast. Humid too, 83%. Rain is incoming from the south! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Same story down here. 55°, solid overcast. Humid too, 83%. Rain is incoming from the south! Put me in or near the bullseye of an MCS or give me a sunny day, none of this edge of the rain shield crap that I'm oh so used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah the point forecast from yesterday was for 77 here today. LOL, not gonna happen. Only 54 right now, with a huge area of cold/stratified rain moving in. As Alek mentioned, this type of thing is very common this time of year so I'm not surprised at all. Just gonna make the heat later this weak all the more dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 up to 60 now with rain falling apart rapidly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 waiting for the forecasted sun here too. Dosen't look like it with all the clouds from here to the SW. Only 52 and not close to the 71 called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 This is terrible. 50 and clouds north of I 80 hell. I would normally be really pissed but I have to remember its only May 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Picked up 0.10" so far, with some heavier returns spiraling in from the south. It has warmed up a bit though, one degree to 55 lol. If the 4km NAM is correct tomorrow's temps could be tempered quite a bit as well. It shows a large complex diving south through the region during the morning. We would definitely be warmer than today, but 80+ may be a long shot if it evolves that way. Thursday on the other hand looks like a slam dunk for full heating potential. At least at this point lol.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Still 52 here with drizzle. After 4 or 5pm the temp should jump above 60, but it's a far cry from what was expected. Because of the drizzle today is even a step back from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Another stale, cool day in southeast Wisconsin, currently sitting at 50 with some fog..... hopefully the next few days can bring some excitement compared to the dull April we just experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Temperatures have back peddled here! Was 56°, now 52° with patchy light fog! Some showers about 30 miles south of here. Predicted high of 66° doesn't look good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 up to 60 now with rain falling apart rapidly Rain self destructed as it moved closer to me, ended up in a nearly dryslot getting only a few sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 63F but still a turd... Still saying 73F but not unless we can at least thin out the clouds a little more. What the heck does it matter when the high temp only lasts an hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Still 57 here with intermittent light right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 At least we could approach the upper 80s Thursday. Cloud debris may very well ruin everything tomorrow too the way things are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well I would assume the warm front is on the doorstep, hence the reason the Chicago area has been in the 60s most of the day while we're stuck in the low to mid 50s. That should be the focus for an MCS tonight, but I'm to the point of taking the opposite of what the models say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think Milwaukee is the coolest spot in the Midwest right now. MKE in the spring can really be crud sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Temp has rocketed the last hour....full sun now and probably sitting near or at 70F... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Only 54° here with the warm front stalled to the southwest. Few showers passing through. MCS' usually like to run the boundary between warm humid, and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCS' usually like to run the boundary between warm humid, and cool. Yeah, hopefully that's our payoff for this crappy day, the warm front sweeping through overnight as the LLJ ramps up.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Temp has rocketed the last hour....full sun now and probably sitting near or at 70F... Same here. Once the clouds thinned and dispersed a bit we finally jumped to the mid 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I will be at the local Walgreen's passing out literature and programming weather radios today from 4 - 6 PM. It would be cool to have them go off while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The broken line of decaying storms dropped 0.06" here early this morning. Still a huge area of clouds associated with festering elevated convection out over Iowa. Think we'll have another round of decaying western Iowa sloppy seconds after midnight tonight here.
