hawkeye_wx Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 That line west of you is like not even moving. Looks like Hawkeye is under it. The early isolated storms left a tail down through Iowa City. The tail re-fired and is dumping on the same narrow area. I am well northwest of the storms and the line is showing no sign of moving. I will likely just get some general rain again. There have been some decent storms and downpours this week, but it has been too isolated. Each day, most locations get little. I got hit one day this week, so my rain total is around an inch. Cyclone has been missed every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Nice map Jonger. Can really see the cut off in the lower lakes. Micro cell just hit with a downpour and some wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Had a couple nice downpours today, though they were pretty brief. Fairly muggy feel to the air with the dewpoint near 70 earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Yep, this week's one big fail to be sure for this area. Heavy rains in eastern Iowa are crapping out, and nothing really upstream either except a few showers. Decent chance for storms tomorrow afternoon, but I ain't gonna hold my breath lol.

Man, with all of the rain to my west, it's hard to believe that you got bypassed. Out here, we had a great week of highs around 80 every day, with the dews behaving for the most part. Even though my point forecast from last weekend had rain every day from Tuesday on, my total - Trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I picked up a solid 0.65" of stratiform rain overnight, boosing my weekly total to 1.75". I still need another inch to reach the May avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cells popped in my area this afternoon, but most are garden-variety. I received another 0.31" with a bit of thunder and 30+ mph wind gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Marginal risk area has been added for NE Indiana, NW Ohio and S. Michigan. So far, just had a brief cloud burst while passing by DET a couple hours ago (yet again only enough to dampen the ground). Even with that, DET is now sitting at 87*F.

cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Picked up 0.37" after midnight from some efficient showers. Broken line of storms approaching. Should be here by 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Picked up another 0.10" from the thin line of storms. Had a few 30-35mph gusts. Up to 0.47" for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If not for the thunderstorms we would have had our first official 90 degree day at DTW. Hit 89°F intra-hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 80° for a high today here. Too many clouds to get into the 80s more. Now down to 63° in the rain cooled air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 86 so far at DTW today, up five degrees from the 6 PM obs. Its been fun the past few days watching the temps jump all over due to the very isolated thunderstorm action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very nice day here, with temps in the low 80s and dews near 60. Shot a time lapse with the DSLR this evening to see how good the quality would be. Looked great on my pc, but youtube degraded the crap out of it after uploading. Especially the first 6-10 seconds. Very disappointing. Really no point in shooting DSLR time lapses if the quality gets degraded this much. I see very high quality time lapses on youtube all the time, so obviously it's possible. Must be in how they encode it through the editing process that makes it more compatible with youtube? Anyway, here's a short time lapse of some weak convection crapping out as the sun went down earlier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 A storm like Cyclone posted in that video gave me a quick heavy downpour and I recieved 0.04in of precip from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Nice video, cyclone!Up until the 24th, I had only received .45" for the month. The past 6 days I've gotten 4.1".The woods are so thick and lush. The bugs are on another level. Thankfully 99% deet works pretty good, except for this one biting bug I've never seen that aparantly freebases it. Was a mild 49 this morning, about 3 degrees above normal. What a difference 49 days makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for certain, the plant life up there wastes little time once the snow melts, and the warmer air moves in. I'm guessing the rate of growth is much quicker up there than down here.

The snow pic was April 11th, after 12 days and 54" of snow. The green up was slow until bout 2 weeks ago, and then it was like the flip of a switch and watching a time lapse green up in real time.

IWXwx Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Fairly warm out there today. My pasty white legs are now a little red after a day on the boat. A couple of more days of mid 80's, then back to seasonal upper 70's. Amazing how much difference 5 degrees makes in comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
