Hoosier Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Looks like ORD will blow away the May precip record. Record is 7.59" and they have 7.31" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 MSN reached 92 today tying the record from 1991. This month has been so similar to May 2012. 2012 also had a very wet first two weeks of the month before the faucet shut off and never turned on again mid-month. It obviously also had a similar heatwave in this time frame. Looking ahead it looks like I might get about a .5" or so form Alberto's remnants but after that it looks like it could be a while before we get anymore rain.

cyclone77 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Looks like another 90+ day to make it 4 in a row tomorrow. Alberto remnants will miss this area to the east, so not really anything of interest to follow until deep into June at least. Pretty lame storm season to be sure.

Hoosier Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thursday looks like an overachiever to me. Could envision low 90s... perhaps mid 90s if things go right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 It's sweltering 94ﾟ at DTW yesterday miss the record by 1ﾟ. By no means do I think hot temps in late may mean a hot summer. Seems like this summer's really gonna be a crapshoot whether its hot or cool. I think the most impressive yesterday was the fact that Minneapolis officially hit 100ﾟ. That is insane. We can estimate what the final monthly temperatures will be but might as well just wait a few days once the official figures are in. The April to may comparisons are going to be nothing short of astounding and probably unprecedented. From one of the coldest aprils on record to 1 of the warmest mays.

CAMs had been looking pretty nice for today, with scattered storms popping up all over the place. Unfortunately they underplayed the amount of cloud debris from Alberto. Temps have also underachieved for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 MLI managed to squeak out another 90 today despite the thick cirrus canopy. That makes 4 90+ days in a row, and 5 out of the last 6 days AOA 90. Impressive end to May. Hit 91 here today. Hoping the HRRR and 3km NAM are correct in developing some nice rains into western/northwest IL later tonight. Sitting at 3.70" for the month, but most of that fell early in the month.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I picked up a half inch of rain overnight. I did not get any heavy rain events this month, but several low to moderate events kept me close to average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My forecast has kept increasing the high temp and now I'm suppose to get to 33ºC feeling like 40C. This is a beast of a heatwave for me . I'm amazed this event is not far off from the big daddy of May heatwaves - late May 2006. It was more humid during that one but this ain't a slouch.

cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 0.33" last night and today. Enough to get us over 4" for May. Heavy rains set up a little east of here. Had a torrential downpour at work around 4pm. Didn't last long but it was pretty impressive. Lots of runoff after that passed through. MLI up to 86. Really trying to make it a 5th 90+ day in a row but will fall just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I also believe the CONUS is on pace to beat 1934 for the warmest May on record. Really remarkable stuff. Thorough 5/28 2018 the average temp was 64.6, with 1934 at 64.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder if there has ever been spring like this? Going from record cold in March&April to a record setting warm may. Referring back to one of your old posts, I wish we had data available for 1863, as it had the only tropical storm remnants to effect the region in the month of May.

Kinda doubt there's been a flip as dramatic as this. Regarding May 1863, there's this. I guess it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Lots of temperature records at CMH for May 2018. Just a few: - 71.7F average temperature (old record 70.8F in 1991, +9.2F average) -24 days AOA 80F (old record 21 in 1944, 1965, & 2012) -Record high minimums on the 3rd, 15th, and 31st. -31 for 31 on days above average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 3rd warmest and the wettest May on record for Chicago. Fwiw, out of the prior top 10 warmest Mays, 9 out of 10 went on to be warmer than average for JJA in Chicago. Some were just barely warmer than average and some were well above average. The one cooler exception was 1896. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 FWA wasn't as nearly as wet as ORD. It was the 54th driest. However, it was the warmest May on record at 68.2°, 7.8° above normal. Only two days had below normal temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
