Chinook Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well it always seems like there's one final cold shot that takes place this time of year. That being said mid 50s is pretty extreme Sent from my iPhone KTOL got 2.52" event total, according to METARs. Local area CoCoRAHS totals near Toledo are not all that close to that value as of 7 AM local time, but then again, it rained 0.84" since 7 AM. This is a very high rain total for one day in Toledo, seeing as how Toledo doesn't tend to extremes in the precipitation department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I wish DTX would decide on a frost advisory or not IMBY! GRR put out frost advisories around 3am this morning for the counties just west of me for tonight, and the Gaylord weather service has freeze warnings 2 counties north of me. I spent 45mins covering my garden plants up a couple hours ago, It might only get down to 37 here tonight, but too close to not take it seriously... EDIT: I edited your first sentence Bashing NWS mets is unacceptable. jburns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Managed upper 60Fs, but thick band of clouds has moved in and the long sleeves are needed once again. Reminded me of a fall day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoof, you could've made your point in a more diplomatic way. I don't have a garden or anything but if it were me, I would've done what you did just to be on the safe side. We've all seen plenty of instances where temps get colder than forecast, and then you might be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 NW Ohio and NE Indiana may finally get a very rainy day. the 12km NAM shows 2.5" to 3.5" for Toledo-Fort Wayne for this upcoming storm. SREF max accumulation is about 4.4" for Toledo and Fort Wayne. I've caught 3.64" in Huntington and FWA has 3.16" for the month. I don't know what the NAM has been smoking, but I'd buy 1.5" total. Meanwhile, IND has been pretty dry in the month of May, recording only 1.09" of rain. This would be good for their 8th driest May, except they will probably double their monthly total tomorrow. Time to man up and eat some crow. There are some very impressive rainfall totals out there, including TOL. FWA and Huntington actually had some of the lower totals in Northern Indiana, 1.85" and 0.99" respectively. 104 Indiana CoCoRaHS stations reported 2"+.

Stebo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 There is a WSW-ENE running lake effect rain band running through part of DTX's CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very high rain total for one day in Toledo, seeing as how Toledo doesn't tend to extremes in the precipitation department. We had just under 2.0" in the gauge at work this morning, and I left in the middle of heavy rain at 10:30AM. So it was pretty widespread across northwest Ohio from what I can tell. Is it just me, or did you not post at all last winter? Nice to read you again AppsRunner. I did post, just not in this subforum. I go to college at SUNY Oswego as a met. major, so I was up there most of the winter. When I was home during breaks I was just too busy to post here. Either way it's good to be back, although I'll be traveling during a lot of the summer. Expect lots of severe weather while I'll be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Already down to 42 after a high of 46 under full sun. Worked outside all day and it was comfortable and there weren't too many bugs but I did notice the mosquito's had hoodies on. Night 2 with a freeze warning. Good thing I haven't planted anything yet. Gonna do just flowers this year... too many deer, and growing season at my specific location is only around 80 days on average. Looks like a nice week weather wise coming up.

BuffaloWeather Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 One of the worst days in weeks today. Rain all day with temps in the 40s. Really hope summer comes and sticks around after this. Just brutal to have this when June 1st is tomorrow. Our summers here are short enough already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The sun did make things better today, but the wind took away any warmth. Only made 54°. Sub 50° waters dominate Lake MI now. Average mean running just a hair under what they were last year at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Congrats and pursuing your passion and congrats on picking such a snowy locale. Experience any 2+ footer LES events?The highest I saw was 12" in about 5 hours. Highest synoptic total around 12-16" during finals week. It just snows every single day. I'm working on some lake effect snow research that may actually be fairly worthwhile down the road, but there's a lot of work left to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 May 30-31 total rain in Wyandotte was 2.82". Quite the soaker. May rainfall an impressive 6.67". Storm total at DTW 2.33", with 5.53'" in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ended up with 3.14" of rain for a 48 hour total IMBY. The big winners appears to be Taylor which got around 3.50", Inkster with 3.50", Southfield with 4.30" and southwestern Washtenaw County that got 4.42" among other high totals.

stormtrackertf Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Also, unrelated to the rainfall but related to the storm in general, I was surprised earlier to see that the stiff NE winds gusting to around 50 MPH caused the water levels in the shallow Saginaw Bay to rise 50" above normal this morning.

Geos Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 An overall wet and slightly above normal month here. Better than 4" of rain, which is more typical of the summer months. If it wasn't for that 70° early Saturday morning the departure would have been closer to 0.5° ~given a 50° high of so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
