SchaumburgStormer Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 How about those cubbies? Chicago is probably going bonkers. Pretty wild between them and the south siders. My cardinals on the other hand... Standing water finally drained. Golf courses along the river will be closed due to flooding for at least a few more days. Rain tonight will not help anything.

nwohweather Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm hoping for some graupel on Saturday. I'm issuing a Graupel-Watch on Saturday. I'm up in your neck of the woods today golfing over at Timber Trace! Beautiful weather outside up here, around 70 with a nice breeze and partly sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Top shelf day. 70 degrees with a gentle breeze and sunny skies, and the sight of golfers on the course down yonder. Got the grill going with A-1 burgers and beer brats, got some Coney Island hard root beer, and little dude on the patio with me. Summer time is great.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Today was very pleasant through early afternoon. Again, though, we had dews in the mid 40s as the rain moved in. It is nothing more than a band of light showers. Earlier this afternoon one station in nw Iowa was reporting 39 degrees. Yikes! It's only in the low 40s in the Mason City area.

Made it to 71 before the clouds thickened up. Rain started a half hour ago or so, and temps have since dropped a good 10 degrees. This system will be pretty wussy compared to what many of the models had indicated over the past few days. Looks like <1/2" of thunderless rain.

Geos Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Enjoyed the warmth this morning. Reached 70° yesterday and about 65° today. 4km NAM has it getting to 35° tonight and low 30 tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somewhere, not sure where, that the NAM was being to cold, pretty sure this was DVN's AFD either yesterday or today, or it might have even been on this forum somewhere, but I did see that the NAM was dropping temps too cold.

Maybe. UGN always tanks out lower in most cases, so the NAM may be right for this localized area. Just glad I didn't plant any annuals. DLL has the fruit trees to worry about. It gets pretty chilly in those valleys. HRRR for early tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It sure went from nice to nasty in a hurry. Once that front passes... brrrrr! I only picked up 0.13" of rain. My expected low temp is 35 or 36, with wind, so I have tentatively decided to leave my plants unprotected. If we bottom out around there, they should be ok. I'm thankful for the wind.

weatherbo Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Some showers around and 41. Probably change over to snow later this evening. Flakes already being reported southwest of here in Gogebic Co. High tomorrow of 36 with a north wind gusting to 30. I have an excuse to be lazy. green up coming along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Rain most the afternoon...had a peak or two of sun this evening, and it was pouring just a little while ago again. Clouds look backed up into MN...so not sure how much we clear overnight...which will buy some time. The coldest 850s i think move through tomorrow afternoon..so hopefully they high tail it over to Saukvilles by night fall. NAM brings through clouds Sat night so that could be a real game changer should that occur.... Sitting at 46F...,but its been upper 40Fs most of the day...yeehaw! Avg is around 70F. Anyone notice how warm Alaska has been? Saukville was crying because Fairbanks is suppose to be near 80F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 DVN has been talking about the weak disturbance moving through Saturday night, and that it may bring some clouds and a light breeze that keeps our temp up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
