cyclone77 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sup fellas? I'm back. Had a blast out in Hawaii. Looks like we got about a half inch of rain while away. Enough to kick the lawn into high gear. Hopefully some meaningful severe is in the near future, as I'm ready to get out and do some chasing. A few pics from the vaca. First pic is looking down at Pearl Harbor. Took all these pics with my phone, as I didn't want to lug around a big camera all vacation lol. This is at Pearl Harbor, looking out at the USS Arizona memorial, and the USS Missouri destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We finally experienced a small, but pretty good thunderstorm cell very early this morning. I picked up a bit of pea-size hail and 0.44" of rain. I put grub control granules on the lawn yesterday, so the rain will save me the trouble of watering the lawn. I'm hoping for a bit more rain tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Chilly here last night. Bottomed out at 31 with heavy frost. Had to bring in the tomatoes, peppers, and my sunflower starts. Looks frosty again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sitting in the mid 40s and breezy. Doesn't get much worse for May 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm definitely over rain this month. Some training storms dropped another 0.96" of rain, while DTW 7 miles to the west only got 0.19". Monthly total now in my backyard is up to 6.82", one of the wettest mays on record appears likely. DTW was lagging quite far behind but still way above normal at 5.60". We started May with almost winter dormancy outside of the grass just starting to grow and trees budding (not leafing). Now everything is lush and green and the damn grass won't stop!

hawkeye_wx Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yep, it's pretty chilly today. It'll be short-lived, though. The euro has 80+ indefinitely beginning midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring 2018 Is The Worst Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 onshore flow this month has been absolutely ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen a month with such relentless NE wind nearly every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Picked up 0.43" early this morning. Looks like a quiet weather week coming up, with gradually increasing humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I picked up 0.42" overnight/this morning. The heavier rain band was expected over southeast Iowa, but ended up nw and se of that area. Just west and north of me is where the heavier stuff fell in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Just a beautiful day today. 82 and sunny. Can't wait for some real heat and humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Columbus OH got dumped on yesterday, with up to 2.1" of rain near Worthington (CoCoRAHS report) and a couple of nearby severe hail reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Up to 6.16" on the month at DTW, just 2.31" away from the monthly record for any May and 2.61" away from all time record for any month. With the many chances of rain starting this weekend through the end of the month we have a shot at breaking the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Been pretty dry here as well, but we are fully greened up, mowed my grass for the first time last weekend. Upcoming memorial weekend about as good as it gets for late May. What a change from April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 GFS likely overdoing temps where it's showing 95+ but expect temps near 90 for much of this area starting Friday. Other than the warmth and elevated humidity, zzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Both the 12z NAM and GFS have temps well into the 90s around here on Sunday, with the GFS being the warmer model. 90 happening in May is not that rare... if we're talking mid 90s, that is a lot more unusual but that kind of warmth did occur in May 2012.

IND hit 80° for the 18th time in May. The record for May is 21 (1977-1965-1944). That record is going obliterated this year with predicted highs well above 80° right on through the end of the month. IND began the month with the 14th coolest Spring on record. It's amazing to think that they will most likely end up with the warmest May on record and it will be interesting to see how the Spring season ends up as a whole. With these temps and really dry ground conditions in many areas of Indiana, Hoosier may have to issue a Drought Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
