Chicago WX Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Quite the spread in local rainfall totals in the past 24 hours. COOP, CoCoRaHS, and airport reports below: LAF: 0.95" Lafayette 2.2 S: 1.03" West Lafayette 5.1 WSW: 1.38" West Lafayette WLFI: 1.64" West Lafayette 4.9 W: 1.85" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 warm front needs to move north... That huge MCS to the southwest won't help with that. At least it's not freezing anymore. We are in the upper 50s now, the mildest we've been in three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Tremendous contrast in rainfall amounts between the QC and here. My dad on the eastern side had over 5" of rain between sat and sun. Only 0.98" here for the two days. Point has been adjusted down to 70 today, which will still likely be too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 another 1.57 at PIA yesterday 23.91 +10.22 for the year 175% of normal to date oh this doesn't include the inch that has fallen today time to keep an eye on the IL river again since upstream also got alot of rain last night and the ground is soaked and more on the way.. plus the river never made it below 15ft from the last flood...(should be 12.5ish normal pool) another note: it seems that the daily climate report ends at 1am not midnight i assume becuase of the time change in the spring so it rainfall occurs between 12-1am on the 27th its included in the 26th report not the 27th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 warm front needs to move north... +1 Only 50° here with fog/low clouds threatening to drop down. Not the day for outdoor activities. No boats on Lake Michigan today at Winthrop Harbor. Last Memorial Day it was in the mid 90s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Turned into a bummer of a day. No rain just breezy and the clouds has just moved in with temps around 60. No pool today. Poor kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 I've been pretty patient up until now, but these cloudy, cool, rainy days are really starting to grate on me. How many of these do we have to endure until we get a warm, stormy day? One where it starts warm and humid, and then heavy convection comes through? It's been nearly a year since we had a day like that, I think since last August. I'm sick of stratiform rain/drizzle. I'd much rather it be sunny if it's drizzly crap instead.

Powerball Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Turned into a bummer of a day. No rain just breezy and the clouds has just moved in with temps around 60. No pool today. Poor kids It was only a matter of time, considering the past 3 Memorial Days were sunny and absolute blow torches. Oh well, GFS/NAM look a lot better in terms of severe weather prospects tomorrow. That's a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has to be boring, let it be sunny. Would like to see some thunderstorm activity this week. Starting to think tomorrow's temperatures will be under guidance given the persistent training of MCS's to our south. Going through the noon hour and the temperature has not budged.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 New river forecast for the Cedar River now calls for a crest of 18 feet on Sunday. Yaaaay. I just noticed that. Keep in mind, though, that this forecast is highly dependent on where the storms fire the next couple days. At least a couple models keep most rain south of us, which would keep the river lower.

Geos Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think we're looking at more IL River flooding if these heavy rains persistent over the watershed. Mother nature just turned on the fog and heavy drizzle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Not a good memorial day. Early day high of 61 at DTW. Showers look like they'll hold down temps the rest of the day. Will be the coolest Memorial Day since either 1992 or 1996. Also, for the record I'd like to note that DTX is still showing a 20% pop for today here (after how many no-show 80%'s last week?).

mjwise Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 And did the HPC/WPC's 5-day QPF forecast really just switch SEMI from, oh, about 0.2" of QPF over the next week to 2+" over the course of about 24 hours?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Another overcast day. Had a few light showers a bit earlier, which gave us 0.01". Temp only reached 67 today, but the humidity made a big jump upward, making it feel far more springlike than previous days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Normally upper 60s might be a bit cool, but now it feels balmy compared to the weekend cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well, it looks like major flooding along the Cedar River is inevitable, but a repeat of June 2008 is extremely unlikely. This might be another repeat of 1993 however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It's never gonna rain here again. Congrats. Works every time. Had 0.99" for a 24 hour total through 4:00pm at LAF, which doubled the total May rainfall. Adding on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day like this is the worst kind of day to have such a botched forecast. Many would expect about 68 and sun not 51 and rain at 6pm bbq time. I could do without the rain but the 60s would have been awesome outdoor weather for those of us who dislike heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
