Chinook Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Storm totals are up to 2" near I-96 and the north side of Detroit. It is rare when a series of storms so perfectly follows I-94 and I-96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Up to 4.29" as of 4pm for the month. Well ahead of the pace of 2004 for the wettest May in record. More storms coming this evening as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar estimates over 2-3" since midnight and I completely believe that here. Was like that over here too. One rumbler in particular set off car alarms in my neighborhood.

Torchageddon Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Wow on the thunder in MI, did those in SE MI get storms in the early morning hours 18 years ago today? Maybe it was in "remembrance" of that historic day because I had storms around 6:30 am on May 12, 2000. I'm glad I missed all the rain far to the south because it was decent out there! Not cold at all, sun warmed up things enough and the breeze was minimal. Got to 16ºC so felt 4ºC warmer. Not a cold weekend as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The LLJ finally getting some more organized thunderstorm development in Southern Wisconsin. Yesterday there was plenty of stratiform rain, but little in the way of convection. Probably picked up nearly an inch and a half of rain since yesterday, things are green and should be staying that way for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of May 2004 parallels with this, Madison and Milwaukee's May rainfall records were from that month as well, and Madison is definitely on a pace to meet or surpass that month. Would be interesting if the rest of that summer parallels this one at all. Was mostly cool and wet, and then downright chilly and drier that August.

Other than the near-total lack of organized severe weather in the central CONUS. Of course, that didn't really get started until the 12th and then pick up from the 21st on, but after some teasing the models no longer show much promise for that happening.

May not have been organized severe weather yet this month, but both Dane and Milwaukee counties have had two severe warned cells so far (back to back Wednesday evenings as well). That's not bad not even halfway through May, a month that begins our severe weather season in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Had a round of scattered showers/storms last night and this morning, then another round this afternoon.Tonight’s round is now getting going, and is starting to move in now.Looks like there will be another round tomorrow night, in the form of an MCS. And then yet another round on Monday afternoon/evening/night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 The stormy pattern this month is not delivering for us. We only got a quarter inch Friday night and then only a few hundredths last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Dry here and no rain really expected for the next 5 days or so, as a result fire danger will remain high until the forest starts to green up . Even tho the ground is wet, last years vegetation is crisp. Warm and breezy today with very low rh again... should top out around 70. Certainly does feel nice. Yesterday while I was out riding an old logging road, I came across this giant 15' pile of ice just off the road. After hearing water running, I decided to check it out and discovered it was a spring. I guess water bubbling up all winter formed the ice. I have never seen anything like it before, especially that big and in mid-May. So now that I know where it is, I'm going to keep an eye on it. I wonder if anyone else knows it's there? There were no tracks on the road at all. I'm probably the first person to pass through since the melt. It was so blue inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Pretty dry down here at CMH as well, only .50” for the month so far. And we maxed out at 87F yesterday. We could use some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I did not mind a day or two of chilly weather after a very warm first ten days of May, but here on day 3 of the chill I'm officially ready for 70s and 80s again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It has certainly been an odd May to follow up our garbage "winter that wouldn't die" April. Unlike most lean severe/chase years in my memory, there has been no shortage of thunderstorms. Just no shear to really get them cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Training storms early this morning dropped 1+" of rain on the far south side of Cedar Rapids and 2+" on the north side. Here on the west-central side I only got 0.56" as the the heavy cells all went around me. It has been an unlucky month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a round of scattered strong to severe storms this afternoon in the area, with a final round incoming tonight with the frontal passage...before this period of action comes to an end. It has pretty much been a May version of a ROF pattern, and the first I can remember in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've at least had 0.38" over the past couple of days. This good stuff has been missing us just to north in this ROF setup. The dry spell came at exactly the wrong time for the morels around here. NWS originally had 50% POPS for today up here, then took it out of the forecast and guess what? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 /\ Yep, when it finally warmed up no rain. Its destroyed the mushroom season, worst I've ever seen. Hoping for a pop up decent soaking today, might get one more chance if we get some precip. It's been muggy as hell the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
