daddylonglegs Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Storms just fired..just west of here...had a few sprinkles and some ugly skies but it looks like we skated the heavy stuff for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Not sure if the line is going to fill in over SW MN, but the sun just made its first appearance since Friday so I'm hoping it doesn't rain. Yesterday was an unexpected washout. Drought conditions down to D0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Warm and windy, story of the day. Maybe even too windy. Detroit looks like it's torching, relative to most cities in the GLOV forum; 77/60 seems to be the popular numbers this hour, but DTW is 86/62.

Detroit and OH/PA are pretty much the only areas in our subforum that have had well above average temps this month, per the anamolies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ended up pouring here...sun came out after awhile. Maybe another 1/4 inch or better... GFS looks super wet Fri/Sat... weekend washout in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Detroit and OH/PA are pretty much the only areas in our subforum that have had well above average temps this month, per the anamolies. It really is weird that I've been growing stuff for the past month pretty much, while some people 80-100 miles to our northwest are talking about just now starting to plant things since the last frost has happened. I know we usually are one of, if not the first in the state to have the last frost, but this just seems extreme to me. There were hard frosts in the past weeks just in the M-59 corridor, and that's not far at all from us. I don't remember when the last hard frost here was, but it was quite a while ago. One rare time where I am very glad for the lake and urban heat island influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been sunny nor stormy enough for my liking, but beggars can't be choosers when you have no frosts/freezes, only one day with a sub-60*F high and only one day with a sub-40*F low.

stormtrackertf Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Still 76 at almost midnight. Is it July yet?The temp actually went up 2 degrees last hour with a stuff southwest breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Very nice evening around here...the rains early dropped the temps back into the 70Fs and the sun came out..beautiful sunset. Park was actually pretty busy. Cells firing to the south and look to maybe catch this area in the next hour... look pretty heavy as you head into MN.

daddylonglegs Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Probably better than having a prolonged heat wave, especially so early in the warm season. Today was a good example of clouds being a blessing..the times that it was sunny this afternoon it was scorching hot. Lots of relief as those clouds rolled through. The rain dropped the temp back nearly 20F earlier. The rains overall have been beneficial. Yesterday was an all day soaker and even today it was only a short period of downpour... I think we'll enter summer with plenty of soil moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's been feast or famine here with the rain and storms. So far not a lot of thunderstorm activity this spring, which makes me afraid tomorrow night may be another dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Big band of rain heading this way... washout incoming! Fri?sat look very very turdish around here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Lot's of time for Summer weather, DLL. Let's get the rain while we can! 1-2" coming on top of the 1.14" yesterday. Should wipe out any Springtime deficit here. Mosquito's have become cat 5. It doesn't help I have an acre swamp pretty much in my back yard.

Chitown Storm Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just went from a 20% to 80% chance of rain today. That shield heading up from IA looks healthy. Any rain is good rain. I'll take it. Point up to 87F for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 0.35" of rain so far and coming down pretty good. Heavy band is almost here. Getting a little nervous the way this line is trying to kink up. Just had a circulation that may have put down a weak tor in Henry County. Also another one up north of Maquoketa. The portion of the line heading this way looks like it's trying to kink up as well. Gotta watch these little features in an event like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This is what I was worried about. Trying to tighten up just to the west. Just had a very heavy downpour and up to 0.69". Over 0.3" in a few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Marine air is back today. Went from 68° at home to 55° and fog in Racine. Now the entire north shore is cooler and foggy. Only 0.14" of rain so far since Saturday - uneventful so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Talk about stratiform, there is zero instability up here. Pouring buckets and 53F. Feels like a mid-October rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I received the weakest part of the morning disturbance, only picking up 0.32" while areas west and east got 1+". I did, however, hear some brief, weak thunder for the first time in quite a while. Just in the last thirty minutes a small, but efficient shower moved through and quickly dropped another 0.33 to up my total for the day to 0.65". Up to 2 inches fell in far nw Illinois. It appears the more progressive solution for the late week system has won out on the models. Friday looks to be the day to get some decent storms, with potentially several days to dry out this weekend into mid next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
