cyclone77 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 good thing we don't need rain looks cool, dry, and boring for the foreseable future Some parts of the Plains have received some much needed rains over the past few weeks. Looks like more of the same in the coming week. Might make it a little harder for the heat dome to expand up this way for awhile, which would keep the storm complexes further south as well. Hopefully this won't be a trend we see much of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this won't be a trend we see much of the summer. I think I'll take that over the opposite, heat dome expanding due to dire drought in the Plains and Mississippi Valley. That said, even this 'cool' period doesn't look much off average, and those first three days of the month may well make it difficult to manage a below average month even if we go into an extended cool spell.

michsnowfreak Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Lake Superior last week. These pictures are pretty good! http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/05/27/lake-superior-ice-memorial-day-weekend/9634047/ I follow a Lake Superior page on facebook and they have been posting tons of photos everyday of the ice's progress. Just incredible. With summer foliage in full swing, every once in a while when I look at the fence in the backyard or some other things in the neighborhood that were buried over the winter, and realize how high they are off the ground, I just think of what an incredible winter we just had despite the finally lush green landscape. But up there they still have visual remnants of the winter to go WITH the green landscape and summery air. Anyway back to current weather. We picked up 0.21" of rain in yesterdays boring stratiform light rain, sitting at 0.24" on the month I am probably the driest spot in SE MI so far in June. Today is one of those days I wish I could bottle up for the rest of summer. Sunny, low 52F, high 75F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 70°/49° for today. Had some picturesque cirrus clouds drift by late this afternoon, complete with sun dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 4 year anniversary of the most prolific local tornado outbreak I have ever seen. Between 1030-230 a total of 6 twisters touched down with above EF2 strength including the EF4 that went through Lake Twp killing 7. I chased that twister that night as it missed my buddy's house by 200 yards in it's infancy and we later flew down the main state highway tailing it. Full wedge with a satellite tornado on it, the amount of debris was staggering and the thing that blew me away was the school bus thrown into the football stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this won't be a trend we see much of the summer. I'm pretty happy to see the WPC map showing another several inches of rain possible over the next week across the central/southern plains. It's great relief for the severe drought region and also I've had enough of the bone dry heat ridge the last couple summers. Of course, all the action down south is leading to yet another snoozer of a severe season around here. I can't remember anything exciting happening this time of year since the historic flood of '08... not that I want to see my house and garden shredded by wind-blown baseball size hail.

cyclone77 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Pretty lame stretch of weather we're in now, and continue to be in for the next week or so. Hopefully things get more interesting for the last half of June. Been a very benign warm season so far in these parts to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah seeing dews this low is depressing. I'm getting into that stage hoping for even a shower at this point. Might of gotten spoiled from this winter with the near constant action of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things get more interesting for the last half of June. Been a very benign warm season so far in these parts to be sure. All the interesting weather has been south and west. We may get some moderate rain today and then possibly little else for another week. At least we've been seeing June-like temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through most of the Great Lakes rainfall has been about normal as of late or even above in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Looks like it turns a tad cooler in the extended range. Looking back a few days, noticed Phoenix, AZ on June 5th was 104F/0F ... now that is some dry air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be weird walking around with a cold beer and having the glass bone dry without a drop of condensation at 100+ degrees. My sinuses hurt just hearing about this.

Jonger Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Lake Superior is officially ice free as of YESTERDAY. It lasted until June 6th. I saw a pic on June 3rd and those chunks were still pretty big, I'm going to guess there are some lurking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 My brother in law went kayaking on Lake Superior last weekend in the arrowhead of MN. He took some pics of some decent size 'icebergs'. Looked like something out of Alaska. Lake Superior is officially ice free as of YESTERDAY. It lasted until June 6th.

hawkeye_wx Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Got more rain than expected over here... 0.97" at my house. Every other spotter and weather station in Cedar Rapids got well over an inch, as did towns just west and north of CR. There was some good convergence on the nw side of the MCS that enabled some heavy rain cells to bubble up within a larger band of moderate rain.

daddylonglegs Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Insane that there is still probably ice chunks this time of year on L Superior. I just checked Grand Marais...been in the 40Fs there all afternoon ...last few hours its been 41F... 41F on June 7th. How do plants handle that? I wonder if the tulips are even up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
