Hoosier Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 First 90º temp of the year at LAF likely tomorrow. May running well above normal, +2.2º through yesterday. And will go higher this week. Very dry month, running -1.56" so far. Only 0.81" total in the last 21 days, including today. Not expecting much relief anytime soon. Total run QPF for LAF from the 6z GFS is 0.60". Trend is Hoosier's friend. Hot and dry odds for this upcoming summer in the LAF looking better and better. Turning into a warm monger? I actually don't think 90 is that likely tomorrow...I'd give it like a 30% chance tops. Would have a better shot if we mix to 850 mb but forecast soundings fall a bit short as of now.

Geos Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Dewpoint up to 63° here. Definitely feeling like summer now. About 75°, hazy sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If we make it through the upcoming stretch without really heavy stuff (like 2-3" amounts) then I'm quite confident that the month finishes drier than average as the large scale pattern looks to favor dry conditions until possibly the end of the month. Could be quite a turnaround from April. Odds we're actually in our favor to have a drier than normal May after a previous very wet April...according to the stats I ran. So I'm not surprised. June and onward isn't as clear cut though. Turning into a warm monger? I actually don't think 90 is that likely tomorrow...I'd give it like a 30% chance tops.

Geos Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 77° here today. Was a bit warm working in the direct sun. Tried to stay in the shade for some things I was working on today. Dewpoint starting to back off into the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Getting a bit sticky now; 76/64. Definitely noticing a few mosquitoes today. The mosquitoes are absolutely thick here. The more CO2 you breath the faster they find you and swarm. I hold my breath while walking short distances outside. Damn things like me. I'd wear a long sleeve shirt if it wasn't so humid.

BowMeHunter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just another choice May day and actually cool down by the lake front (58 degrees when we left for home at 2 pm.. at the BIL'S house in Greenfield it was 77 degrees at 2:30) for the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis walk To, Tim (Chicago WX) from, Jocelyn.

When it's breezy out all that CO2 is dissipated in a short amount of time and they can't find you too well! They don't like coming out in the bright sunny areas.

nwohweather Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 drumroll... drumroll... Ouch. It is gonna be brutally hot tomorrow. I love we go in 10 days from below freezing to 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Way toooo nice out overnight to let the 22.5" weber smoker get lonely and since its full of brisket and butt's I figured why not fire up the 18.5" Weber smoker and run to the store and pick up a couple racks of loin back ribs. Lots of high chance rains this week in the zone forecast...at least we escaped anything overnight. Hopefully the weekend will be mostly dry for camping up north.. Two things looks for sure..there will be no swimming except for the dog and I'll be picking up way more amount of firewood than I had planned with the cool days and nights. Tough by yourself trying to get a pic at night holding a rack of ribs with tongs.. Not bad for a midnight rush job and passes the 90 degree bend test. yum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 makes my cereal and banana even more depressing. Nice work. Sure was a beautiful morning chilling outside soaking it all up before the swamp arse air moves in. Spring is finally progressing along now. Meh - Ribs weren't nothing special but still dam edible for sure... Made them mostly for my dad as an experiment.. He has to and is really watching his sugar intake sooo. No sugar in the winged it recipe rib rub and glaze/sauce.. Used the last of my oak and cherry chunks up on the brisket/butts so no wood. And my temps were running at 350 for the first hr and a half because I thought I mostly closed the bottom vents but I had all 3 vent wide open so she really took off hot instead of being locked in around 260 degrees. Annnnnd, I'm more of a St Louis style spare rib man over the lean loin back ribs. Brisket and Butt's pulled/wrapped and in to a cooler to rest before delivering at 10 am.. Also the cook sure went quick doing them at around 300 degree's vs low and slow. Think I might be ditching the low for higher temps if these turned out as good as the last batch.

daddylonglegs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We had to fire up the AC last night... Woke up and it was like a meat locker in here. I see dews have dropped about 5F ... Over an inch of rain fell again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Point-n-click dropped me from 90 to 85 with lots of clouds around. Still feels tropical though. Those ribs look tasty Bowme. I've tried the low and slow a few times and they are quite good, but the next time I'm going to cook them hotter and faster. I don't think it will degrade the flavor, no matter what the experts say.

Geos Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Up to 84°. 86 or 87 is looking like a good bet. Dewpoints not budging at all. Edit: Up to 86 at 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
