UMB WX Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This nice cool month will ensure we get a nice cooler by the lake start to summer Hell its almost June even the garbage days are decent. Nobody nailed this month and if you say you did - lol. Ups and downs will continue as long as we keep the low train going and its been going here since last fall and for once have a little surplus of moisture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Picked up 0.68" from this morning's rains. Up to 3.33" for the month. It's been a cool day with the heavy clouds/east winds/constant drizzle. Temps are starting to rise now as the warm front is approaching. 57 now, and have a legit shot at breaking 70 in a few hours when the sun emerges. May even be a few decent storms around later. EDIT: Parts of central Nebraska have been dealing with snow today. A few inches fell near Mullen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 75/68 and partly sunny here after mid day t storms in the Indpls area as I watch moisture advection from EVV area moving ne to see if it can produce any svr wx locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The miserable cold much of the day is now history. Temp/dew has jumped up to 65/62, and the sun is out. Substantial difference in how the air feels compared to the upper 40s/low 50s with the cold rain/drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 ^Nice. Yeah it's up to 68/63 here now. Hardly a cloud in the sky. Had to shoot a time lapse of the warm frontal passage. Probably won't be that interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Here's that time lapse of the warm front passing through. Sure was a dramatic change going from the low 50s with all that grunge, to sunshine and much warmer temps/dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Remember when it was going to be below normal the rest of the month... Quote Conditions look more unsettled during the Tue-Wed periods, as the closed low fractures with a sizable piece of this energy then digging southeast into the region. Reasonable model consensus in the pattern evolution, but with differences in timing/details yet to resolve. A general increase in cva should lead to periodic showers, with some renewed moisture advection and increasing mid level lapse rates also yielding weak instability and the possibility of embedded thunder /particularly Tuesday/. Temperature trends remain somewhat flat, with any advective process largely holding neutral. This will retain a temperature profile is simply defined as seasonable for late May. Expand and by Thursday and especially into Friday temps climb back above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I guess the question is what's going to win out over the next 10 days. I'm still not sure it won't average below normal for most areas, even with some above average days thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I see 3 days that will be below average in Tues-Thurs, maybe 4 if Friday starts out cold. Even then Thursday and especially Friday will be in the 70s for most.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 This is the third straight day with significant time spent in the 40s. The avg high temp is in the 70s. Even moderately below avg weather would be a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Cool and breezy day with lots of clouds. Temps haven't made it out of the low 50s.
