Geos Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Do not need 1-2" of rain! Some farmers have been able to work the fields this week, but not all of them. Otherwise, up to 68° after a low 44°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nice stretch of weather lately and all...but boring as all get out. Only 0.04" of rain in the past nine days in the LAF. Looking forward to a little action at the end of this week. Exciting times for doing anything other than tracking weather. Maybe we can luck into something decent tomorrow (severe) but not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It could be worse, but this pattern looks pretty darn boring for anyone north of I-94. Cold shot and then hot and dry with all moisture suppressed to the south. The water table is going to be high for a while but at some point we're going to need some moisture again.

frostfern Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Opps. Just looked at the 12z GFS and it's gone north with the precip as well. Still like to wait and see what the other models say before I believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's currently 78*F. This has been an absolutely splendid stretch of weather. Too bad the bull**** returns this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 First cloudy day in a week here, temps still in the low 70's though. Looks like we could be in for .5-1.00" precip over the next few days as the models are showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Man this site's dead. Pretty boring weather pattern we're in with little to no severe weather and lack of anything else interesting. Captured this a bit ago. Thought it was pretty funny since tornadoes have a hard time forming in the DVN area the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Cyclone - that wasn't for real was it?! Yeah it was actually. Just a glitch in the software. Think it picked up on some radar AP that must have showed some sort of shear I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Picked up 0.02" yesterday to bring the monthly total to a whopping 0.06" After today/tonight, the next several days look rather quiet.
