SpartyOn Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The models are going to freak out when the NAO starts to snap back. It will be borderline comical to watch this happen in the near term. Cant wait to trash 2 days of guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nice day today. About perfect. Full sun and 71. Point for tomorrow is 55 here. Over 40 degrees cooler than Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sitting at about 55° with partly sunny skies now. Just realized there is frost and freeze advisories up for parts of WI & MI! Hoping the rain shield comes a little farther north tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Detroit's high today was 75*F (overachieved by a couple degrees, RAP was right again) and the low was 57*F. Assuming a high of 50*F and a low of 40*F tomorrow, the average for May should still be 65.4*F (3rd warmest on record) and the average for Spring of 2011 will be 55.2*F, shattering 2010 (the previous warmest Spring on record) by two degrees, and it will also be Detroit's first 55*F Spring average on record ever.

Geos Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Down to 49°/45°. Feels like a cool early Autumn night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 63 outside ATM. Looks like I better get used to this temp its not going to stray much at all from 45-66 in 72 hrs. The 70s and near 80s that lurk keep me occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Glad to see the 0z NAM bumping the precip north a tad. Sharp cut-off in WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Glad to see the 0z NAM bumping the precip north a tad. Sharp cut-off in WI. If this was winter we'd have mass suicides in SEMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Glad to see the 0z NAM bumping the precip north a tad. Sharp cut-off in WI. If that verifies, it's quite possible I will go a full month with less than 0.2" of precip. Just 0.13" here since May 9th, how dry can we get?

Geos Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If this was winter we'd have mass suicides in SEMI That map could pass for a winter storm system! Talk of a deformation band and so forth setting up in this area somewhere. If that verifies, it's quite possible I will go a full month with less than 0.2" of precip. Just 0.13" here since May 9th, how dry can we get? I'm surprised you're only in D0 conditions. That's really dry for May in this region! I've been able to pick up 2.2" so far this month.

mjwise Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If this was winter we'd have mass suicides in SEMI the 0z GFS is a little more egalatarian. And yes, I am new, reporting from a few miles from KARB. ETA: I work about a mile from KARB, too - a station soon to be better known as "that place across from a Costco."

Powerball Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Latest RAP has us getting towads 70*F tomorrow. Doubt it, but that will only aid the May average an Spring average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If this was winter we'd have mass suicides in SEMI But for June, the NAM's solution locally would be good. It even shows a marginal severe weather threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Sun is out. 54 here if it can hold then enough heating might make the RAPs 70-71 verify and yet another temp bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 4 days after setting an all-time May high temp record (99F on May 27), it looks like Rockford will set a daily record for lowest max temp on May 31. The old record is 54F set in 1903. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Got a much-needed 0.80" here this morning. We could use three times that, but it's a start. The garden got some water, my rain barrel finally got filled, and now I won't be choking on dust when mowing the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cold steady rain falling here, light to moderate. Basically the WI/IL stateline is the cutoff point right now! 47-48° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the WI/IL stateline is the cutoff point right now! 47-48° going to be interesting to see how far north and west the defo band pushes back tonight...it's possible there will be an overlap area nearby that sees 2" from both bands.

Don't need any of this rain crap. I hate cutting my lawn and this dryness helps keeps the bugs down. Let it crack and bake for all I care. It's blue skies or fail.
