Chicago WX Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Eh, when's the last time LAF underachieved with high temperatures? 90 is a lock tomorrow. Didn't even hit upper 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent most of the day wishing I was eating bbq and drinking beers. Had to have a brisket for lunch after seeing BowMe's photos. Beer later tonight.

Harry Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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. This is as bad as i have ever seen them and so very early as well. 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. Damn that looks good. Well any chance at reaching 90*F is most definitely shot. Made it to 88 here before a nice T-Storm moved in with some brief very heavy duty rains and small hail. topped out at 90 downtown, legit heat and the AC is on full blast. Spent most of the day wishing I was eating bbq and drinking beers. +1 I'll be breaking out the bbq this weekend for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well, that was no fun in Joplin... rotation passed just south of here but they did the sirens 3 times...... Bummer, I already have the meat for another fun Joplin fundraiser at work. Not to worry though, we'll still have fun fundraising for the heartbreaking natural disaster in Moore. Few nice gaden variety t-storms moved in after our 9 pm softball game.. Beautiful out there now but I had to give in and turn the AC on for the first time this spring today.

daddylonglegs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looking like spring weather is back in the cards...after today, its back to the mid 60Fs here...overnight lows show maybe a ance at frost in Sparta or other cold spots...showing 41F here... Fine by me... more days in the 60Fs, the better... I was reading Anchorage reported snow the other day! Winter still isnt done for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Was going to lol LAF today, but then I saw FWA's 4:00pm temperature. I think they might overachieve more than we do here. A passing of the torch may be in order, pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A passing of the torch may be in order, pun intended. 5:21 4pm obs.gif I've noticed that about FWA as well. Granted it has been even drier there than here lately. Speaking of which, I don't know how we only got .10" last night. It poured pretty good even though it didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I don't know how we only got .10" last night. It poured pretty good even though it didn't last long. I've only caught .51" in my gauge in May. Getting pretty dry. We only picked up a trace early this morning as the stormed petered out. Also, we had a fairly long period of cloudless skies this afternoon. The wind picked up and temps skyrocketed.

Powerball Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Made it to 87*F today. Probably would have made it to 90*F had it not been for the convective debris crap/sprinkles that came through during peak heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just had a very small storm pop up directly overhead. Half-dollar sized raindrops and a few pea sized hailers. Rained for about 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I know what B-rent is getting at. Corn crop starts up and the added moisture from the perspiring leaves starts raising dewpoints region-wide. Cooling off a bit faster tonight. Already down in the upper 60s. Edit: So much for a wet Tuesday forecasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 another really nice soaking this morning...should end up with a 3 day total close to 2" and any minor drought concerns gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can't buy any rain of consequence in the LAF. Overnight forecasted rainfall was a complete and total dud. Looks like we'll end up with 0.10" total with this series of impulses. Blah. May total rainfall through yesterday in Indiana. Everyone is below normal to a degree, but northern half of the state really FTL. BMG: 2.60" HUF: 2.59" IND: 2.57" EYE: 2.14" GEZ: 1.42" EVV: 1.18" SBN: 1.09" LAF: 0.91" GSH: 0.83" IWX: 0.54" FWA: 0.33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 some minor street flooding under viaducts. really pouring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Alas, a drier May in the state of Indiana wasn't a total surprise statistically. Here are the state rainfall numbers for January-April...and then going forward in May, June, July, and August. Mays around the 2013 Jan-Apr total sided dry. In the same light, seems most Junes turned back to the wetter side. July and August look a little more muddled, but drier than normal seems to be the lean. But, this says nothing to actual weather patterns...just statistical fodder. Top half of the bracket of wettest January-April periods, and following individual MJJA monthly and summer totals for Indiana since 1895. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 And I'll post the "bottom half" of the Jan-Apr totals, just for those that are curious. Some of Hoosier's favorite years in this chart: 1934, 1936, 1988, 2012, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
