I currently have 74f with a dew point of 24f and humidity of 17%.  I can't say I really pay to much attention to dew point and humidity values until it gets muggy out but I looked at the current Denver values and the air is drier here than there.  Is that a pretty rare oddity?  Regardless, it is very pleasant.

Lake-enhanced front blew through here about an hour ago.  Temp has dropped back to 60 after tagging 83 earlier today.  There were some elevated showers trying to sprinkle on us around sunset.  Most of the precip evaporated before reaching the ground however.

A perfect end to a fantastic Mother's Day.

^Thanks Josh.

MLI hit 90 for the first time this year.  IIRC they only tagged 90 a handful of times last year, and also the year before so this is pretty noteworthy.  Hit 88 here, which is also the warmest to date.  Dews in the mid 60s.  Low temps should stay in the mid 60s the next 3 nights.  That's great crop/grass growing weather lol.

Okay, I see what your saying. Vegas outside of the main strip area, there isn't much to see. Yeah, I think based on what your saying 2-3 days should be suffice for Vegas. I heard about the Red Rock Canyon, sort of like a miniature Grand Canyon, no? If I have time, I will for sure go to Grand Canyon, how far is it from Vegas though? Hoover Dam, I never heard of that but thanks for the heads up, I will for sure check that out. I think in the desert areas away from Vegas, you have a relatively good view of the Milky way as its away from any city lights, right?  

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I will definitely try to go to most of them for sure. I'm not a huge gambler, but I do like sight-seeing and hiking, etc. It'll be hot though. But I think dry heat is more bearable than what we experience here in Southern Ontario, haha. 

 

Yeah that's all correct. Grand Canyon is a 4 hour drive, I just rented a car when I was there. It worked out well since Vegas isn't very walkable and the public transport is non-existent. The heat shouldn't be too bad since it's only May and the air is dry, just make sure to bring a lot of water and a hat when you go hiking, the sun is intense and there's barely any shade.

Hi all. Popping in from Central PA. Wife and I will be in Chicago this weekend and eyeing Cubs tickets for Friday, 1 pm start. 

I see that low moving in bringing rain but seems like it's getting pushed to late overnight. Any feedback if we are safe buying these? Can't make another game so don't want to buy if it's a rain out.

Hello canderson!  I lurk in your forum all the time since my best friend lives in Carlisle.  You might find the discussion you need in the severe thread. I think you'll be safe but do check over there.

Thanks, will do!

It'll be pushing 90 here Wed and Thur, glad we'll be in Chicago ha.

On track for the warmest day of the year so far.

 

76 at ORD as of 10AM. 10/10 would suggest around 86 for a high. HRRR has been consistently showing around 87 since last night.

 

Also... IKK hit 91 and PNT hit 90 yesterday.

I will take the over.

86*F at DTW, 90*F at YIP. Not bad at all after morning convection not ending until 10am (and temps at 11am still in the 60s).

Pretty impressive temp gradient between DET (83*F) and MTC (73*F) as well.

Oh boy another warm season with the joke that is YIP. It is as representative as ARB low temps lol

Well be prepared, because we may see a couple more of those 90*F readings tomorrow and Thursday...:lol:

I mean it is what it is. What's irritating is that the high temps at YIP and the low temps at ARB are what they are for reasons well explained, but then the puppet news broadcasts for shock value can point out these gawdy numbers that do not represent 98% of SE MI lol
