Powerball Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Bunk day here. Lol at DTX and the local weather guys for pushing a 10-20% chance of rain today. Many a BBQs ruined. 4th of July will be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 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. I'm not saying it will happen, but if stuff evolves in a favorable way it's not terribly hard to imagine us making a run at average May rainfall.

Yeah, it's not a crazy idea. Funny how things can change quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Miserable day with a strong east wind off the lake. Had a high of 56 and picked up 0.06" of rain earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 4th of July will be much better. Ill glady take 100 degrees with powerful T Storms. Last year was the best 4th ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Rain stopped for like 20 minutes, and has been raining ever since i last posted... what a day.. crappiest memorial day in at least 10 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 A lot of people around here are freaking out over the forecasts of an additional 4-6" of rain over the next few days. Local TV stations hitting it pretty hard, as they should since the QC itself had locations already picking up over 5". Iowa is pretty quiet at the moment, but should light up like an xmas tree later on this evening once the LLJ reactivates the elevated warm front. Remnant storm complexes will roll in later tonight from the Plains as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The RAP is consistently showing the heavy stuff tonight beginning in southern Iowa and lifting northeast. The WPC has adjusted the heavy band north a bit and now has it setting up from sw through east-central Iowa. DVN is talking about a possible major flash flood event tonight in their area.

daddylonglegs Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The agriculture situation is looking bad... could see grain markets sky rocket if Iowa and parts of IL are sitting under water come June 1st... not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well, according to their day one QPF discussion, WPC is riding the 12z RGEM and UKMET. They both did poorly with this evening's complex in IL and IN...whiffed in that they were too far north. RAP isn't even worth mentioning, as it remains useless. So I guess, take it for it's worth. These complexes give models and forecasters fits it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Tacked an additional 0.61" at LAF, brings the total for the past two days to 1.60". We rolling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Happy Memorial Day to all on here. Hope everyone is staying warm... lol I'd like to say I'm getting excited for Southern Lower Michigan's first severe weather event tomorrow, but if I voice it, it likely will NOT happen. Coming from a realistic standpoint, something big is going to happen with temps in the 80's and dews near 70 moving into this COLD air mass. Seems we get the best storms with a warm front moving in.

These complexes give models and forecasters fits it seems. That explains it. Was wondering where they came up with that. Had not looked at those two models. Tacked an additional 0.61" at LAF, brings the total for the past two days to 1.60". We rolling now. And lets keep it going. Both the GFS and Euro look sweet for more decent rains north of the river up into this area and back out towards the Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It was 48 and raining at my in-laws house, we had a fire in the fireplace. Happy memorial day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the GFS and Euro look sweet for more decent rains north of the river up into this area and back out towards the Plains. Yes, let it rain. At LAF, 18.14" versus 10.30" for total precipitation to date...this year compared to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 FWA has already broken their daily rainfall record of 1.16" and from the looks of radar, they will destroy it before midnight. For Northeast Indiana, drought cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 49° here with drizzle now. Temperature has been consistently been 50° or 51° all day. RAP continues to favor the I-80 corridor for the heaviest rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Clouds broke up a bit earlier finally. Didn't take long for the stratocumulus to build back up and cover the sky. First sign of elevated convection starting to take off a little south of I-80 now. More surface-based convection also starting to take off along the IA/MO border. Top already up to almost 40kft west of Keokuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just playing with the panorama feature on the phone, sunset here tonight in the LAF. Shot doesn't do it justice, but some nice contrasting colors...against the backdrop of freshly fallen rain. Has a late Spring/early Summer look to it. Somewhat hard to believe almost exactly two months ago, it looked like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been like that here 5 days now for the most part. Yeah NW Coast on up to Alaska is like that most of the summer no doubt. --- Nice sunset pic Chicago Wx!

Geos Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Convection making a run north of I-88 and into Chicago now. Should get close to topping the 20" mark for the year to date in the next 72 hours. Still no budge in the temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I love how 24 hours ago DTX had us with "Mostly Sunny" and 70 for the day, with like a 20% chance of showers at the Ohio border. 24 hours and 0.70" of rain later, we didn't make it above 61.
