cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Cold rain and sleet yesterday with temps in the 40s all day, and 70s today with full sun. What a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full sun this time of year can do wonders even with a cool air mass in place. Today was sunny but a tad cool topping out at 54 at my house with a stiff north wind off the lake all day. Things are really beginning to green up quick even after yesterday's hard freee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 After a couple pretty cool and one downright cold day, we will be rewarded with three top-notch days through Saturday. Locals have low 70s in the forecast for Sunday, but the Euro continues to insist on Sunday being an all-day washout with a temp stuck near 60. We've only been getting a little rain here and there the last couple weeks, so a soaking 1+ inch rainfall wouldn't be a bad thing. Pretty big model discrepancies on Sunday with placement of that feature over in northern IL. Eastern IA would still be impacted by a GFS like solution, but over here, we'd be mainly dry and warm with the upper wave largely missing us to the northwest. Fun day to forecast, basically had to go middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've went on some early spring trips to the UP before and it's always like going back in time 3 weeks for the green up and leaves. I'm hoping we can get a few decent tstorms next week and beyond with the nonstop train of strong low pressures that will be coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 68°/44° here for today's high and low. Mostly sunny all day made it a great day to be outside - a total 180 from the day before. Backdoor cold front is going to be swinging through soon. Back to the 50s tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Today was an interesting day, made it to the low 70s in many spots, including at MKE, with dews in the low to mid 30s much of the time. Tonight, there was just enough moisture to squeeze out some scattered showers and perhaps an isolated tstorm. I didn't figure there was even a chance with the dewpoint depressions we had.

michsnowfreak Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Bo, although you are almost 3 weeks behind here, I notice the same thing here. Its almost instant. In one week the trees go from bare (well with buds) to leafed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one week the trees go from bare (well with buds) to leafed out. From snow to leafy in a few days. haha! I imagine after this weekends warmth and then rain, things will go all the way. I've been hearing reports of morels in the southern UP, so I'm going out hunting this weekend. Another cold morning today, down to 26 earlier but up to 30 currently.

Chicago Storm Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Visited Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday. Started off cloudy and foggy, with snow as we climbed in elevation and drove through the clouds. Eventually cleared out and had some good views. Hit up The Big Texan in Amarillo on Monday, as well as the Wichita Mountains. Have been in the San Antonio and Houston areas the past few days and through the weekend visiting family.

Stebo Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Today is amazing, sitting at 70 right now without a cloud in the sky. Should add a few degrees tomorrow and Sunday, though we will add more clouds through the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Peaked at 58° today with mostly sunny skies until late this afternoon when more mid level clouds arrived. Bottomed out at 39° this morning. I know even in early June it isn't unheard of having lows near 40°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Today is amazing, sitting at 70 right now without a cloud in the sky. Should add a few degrees tomorrow and Sunday, though we will add more clouds through the weekend. Really was the perfect day out for yard work and the like. Spent most of the afternoon doing just that. Crazy that there still will be frost north of 8 mile tonight, and northern lower is getting another freeze.

daddylonglegs Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Touched 77F this afternoon... top shelf day. Did a bunch of cleaning... crazy busy out this afternoon...people were out and about...going to be a busy holiday weekend. Looks like a warm stretch until the next cold front late next week.

Powerball Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Just an observation, but it's interesting that the running trend for this May has been coolish weekdays and hot weekends. That should change this upcoming week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The sleet from just a few days ago is a distant memory. Already at 77, and should make the low 80s later on. Fantastic day with full sun and low humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I just read a story about Arlington Heights canceling the Memorial Day Parade due to severe storm chances on Monday. I thought it was a joke, but it's legit. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20150522/news/150529512/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Perfect day today. Light SE winds and temps near 70°. I would think the chances of storms Monday morning would low enough to allow for the parades to go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would think the chances of storms Monday morning would low enough to allow for the parades to go on... I just can't believe they cancelled it already over a chance of storms on Monday. That seems like the poster child for overreactions. This parade was always kind of a big deal in Arlington Heights so that's why I found it interesting. I think Monday should be pretty nice during the day so I don't know what they are seeing.

smoof Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 We got frost. Sitting at 31-32. The car here was mostly covered in frost this morning, no frost on ground level, I see this as the last frost of the year here, time to work on my garden now!

weatherbo Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 One of the nicest days so far this Spring... currently 78 degrees and a nice breeze. would be a perfect 10 if the bugs weren't so damn bad. It's just awful and will be for another 4-5 weeks. Still have black fly season to go through and they're just hatching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Spent half the day hanging trusses and sheathing on a big shed my brothers are building. Cool early this morning, but was hot this afternoon in the sunshine. Actually had a very light sprinkle come through about 2pm (this was about an hour north of here).

kystormspotter Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Is anyone else watching the Monday setup around Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa? Soundings are suggesting strong tornadoes with supercell composites as high as 21.3 and STPs of >5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
