Hoosier Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Got down to 34º at LAF, two degrees from the daily record of 32º set last in 1989. Cooler than forecast. Temps tonight will get a head start compared to yesterday. You gotta wonder if some of the normally colder spots might even freeze tonight.

Geos Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Check this photo out that was posted on TVNweather.com's facebook page. It shows ice being blown into a house off of Lake Winnebago... I believe. https://www.facebook.com/ReedTimmerTVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Freeze warning for me here tonight in Michiana. Expected low in upper 20's. Then 84 Wed. At least the weather is starting to get interesting and hopefully all this baroclinicity will be put to good use with a storm or two next weekend.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Looking like we could finally get the first real MCS activity of the season from Thursday through the weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing some good storms, although I'll be worried about all my new plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Have seen some grauple this afternoon with temps between 45 and 50...impressively cold just off the deck for mid-May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Dew is 25 right now. Pretty low for a May afternoon. I would think this would increase the potential for a freeze in some locations tonight. With the low dew points it might be hard for frost to form and with the ideal radiational cooling conditions, temperatures could drop like a rock.

snowstormcanuck Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 May 12th snowflakes. Mostly graupel bust some slushy wet flakes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Interesting spread in temperatures and dewpoint. RAC is 48/ 31 and UGN is 44/30 with a SE wind while ENW is 51/23 with a NW wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind off the lake might save us from a frost tonight. 33° is my forecasted low. Only 52° for a high today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 18z 4km NAM has a few pockets of 100 degrees along the Missouri bordering NE/IA tue. If we can overachieve with the mixing we have a shot at 90 here, but wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 The wind off the lake might save us from a frost tonight. 33° is my forecasted low. Only 52° for a high today. The wind should back to the west once we lose daytime heating but I'm not sure if we can get boundary layer decoupling to really plummet, either way its going to be cold.

michsnowfreak Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I too saw some snow or sleet pellets today. It wasnt a heavy shower or anything, almost like flurries but they were pellets lol. The announcers during todays Tigers game also noted at one point it appeared to be raining with some snow. The players were looking towards the sky like wtf lol. This makes first winter precip this season Oct 29th, last May 12th...quite impressive!Speaking of Tigers...I was at the game last night and have a few cloud pics during and after the cold fronts passage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hit 57F...still a lot of wind today, but not a cloud in the sky. Took a drive to Rochester, MN...noticed one tractor in the fields, along what is basically 70 miles of farm fields... Forecast shows low 30Fs here...not sure what to expect....going to cover what i can...but am waiting until the winds let up...which by judging out my window, looks to be right now. 53F/22F now....not looking good.

Jim Marusak Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 May 12th snowflakes. Mostly graupel bust some slushy wet flakes as well. i like your new saying in your sig line. is that a pre-existing bumper sticker up there? if not, have you ever thought of trying to sell that up there outside the skydome? at least I could see that break even in sales. or at least end up on the mercer report.

Jim Marusak Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 as for the temps on tuesday, it looks like chanhassen is going whole-hog into mixing it towards 700hPa, given that mix-down temps from 700, according to the 12 and 18Z models today say highs of 95 to 98 in the STC/MSP/RST/LSE area, 850 mix-down values at their highest point are saying only 88-92. Chanhassen is now going 94 in the metro, STC, it looks like 88/89, as well as LSE/RST at 88/89, which suggests the full mix-down to 700 only in the metro and closer to 800 elsewhere. how far down do you think we mix from in MN and IA?

Chicago WX Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Intra-houred a 56º here today, 16º below the normal high. 46º/29º at 10:00pm. It was 49º/31º here last night at the same time. We'll see if we can beat the 34º of this morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can overachieve with the mixing we have a shot at 90 here, but wouldn't bet on it. There's been an interesting back and forth between the DVN midnight and day shifts with the temps on Tuesday.The day shift thinks it'll be an underachiever (80-85) and the mid shift thinks 90 is not out of the question.
