Geos Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 First day of June looks seasonable here with a high near 80°, then it gets cool and showery for Sunday. I hope the first weekend for June is less rainy then is being predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'll be happy if any heat ridges are kept at bay, and hopefully we will have a June without a 90 degree high. It's happened plenty of times before, but I think 2010 was the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Plenty of saturated soils over the MW after all the rain the last few months. Should take a big bite out of the heat at least for June, if not the whole summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should take a big bite out of the heat at least for June, if not the whole summer. Decent chance for a very active June, too I would think. This is definitely going more down the path of a '00, '04, '08, and '10 summer than '05, '11, and '12 (key words for those summers, hot and dryish).

Geos Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wondering when the storms might fire tomorrow. Disco's suggest morning mainly before the dry slot moves in. Hoping the first day of June isn't rain the majority of the day. Skilling showing the severe weather threat mainly east of I-57 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm thinking the wet soils will lead to some positive feedback regarding later storm events. Not really sure what degree that will be, but it seems that wet soils this time of year tend to breed more wet soils, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 We saw much of the opposite last year for awhile with drought breeding drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 We saw much of the opposite last year for awhile with drought breeding drought. Yeah this time last year, we were getting pretty dry. I don't know if I even mowed the grass in June last year! Maybe I did right in the beginning. With Iowa soaked right now, any heat dome that builds won't have the same power as the ones did last year. We had already made 97° by this time last year.

daddylonglegs Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 If looking at the Euro...1st week of June looks below normal, at least for these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 FWA's rainfall totals are going to be skewed. The northern 2/3rd's of Allen County has had 2.5"+ of rain per radar estimates with a large swath of 3+ plus. There is some pretty good flash/urban flooding going on in town. Yet at the airport in southern third of the county, less than an inch has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAF bit the dust early this morning, so no accurate rainfall totals there. But the couple of local observers I've seen so far are right around 1.00" total. Which of course, already beats what we saw total in June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can handle heat, but do not enjoy droughts. To expound a little on my post above, FWA officially recorded 1.21" in the past 24 hrs. Meanwhile, some CoCoRaHS amounts from the north side of Ft. Wayne: 4.1 NE 5.35" 2.6 NE 5.27" 5.5 N 4.84" It's the same over my way. My gauge caught 0.56". Meanwhile, less than 20 miles north of me (around Columbia City): 0.5 NNE 4.73" 3.6 WNW 4.61" 6.6 SSE 4.42" 5.4 N 4.22" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 From May 27th through 8am today, June 1st, I have had 1.85" of rain imby (DTW has had 2.05" in that stretch). Its kind of reminicent of the many heavy snow squalls we got in the winter. Absolute whiteouts but at the end of the day, snowfall shows up in the record books as a modest 2" or so. None of the storms/showers this week have been severe here or had impressive daily rainfall totals, but there have been some mighty heavy downpours off and on.

Chicago WX Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Odds we skate through summer without hitting 100 or a dew of 80? We aren't hitting 100 this summer. But, 50/50 on the 80 dew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If this rainy pattern keeps up in the western sub forum I doubt anybody will see 100° this summer. I figure it'll reach the mid-90s a couple times this summer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 100's are pretty rare for most of us, last summer be damned. It's like March 2012 syndrome all over again. Alas, Stebo is predicting ORD to tie their second highest temp on record this summer: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/40356-june-2013-forecast-contest-temperatures/?p=2304955 So, you all have that going for you.

Hoosier Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 We aren't hitting 100 this summer. But, 50/50 on the 80 dew. Would be interesting to see how often we hit 100 in summers when not in drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Would be interesting to see how often we hit 100 in summers when not in drought. Probably not too many. 1999 the last 100º without a drought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
