Spartman Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The Little Rain Age continues into this new month. If it holds true, I can see this as DAY's 7th consecutive month with above-normal precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 From late yesterday into early today, Detroit picked up 3.20" rain. That's Detroit's highest two-day precipitation total since September 28-29, 2016 when 3.34" rain fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the precipitation this afternoon and evening won't be too heavy. I see that some showers have recently redeveloped around the Detroit area.

Powerball Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Persistence is the word it seems, with the gradient temperature pattern. Summer time well underway for the SE, while in-between weather continues for the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes with the territory... doesn’t bother me whatsoever tho. Most of this snow will be gone tomorrow with a forecasted high of 44, it’s the seasonal snow that could leave a little faster. I love the climate of the UP. Finished with around 7” (7:1 ratio), has compacted some and snow is now mixed with drizzle and heavy fog, temp 33. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just has that feel to it, with the brighter sky, birds chirping, milder temps. Road in front of my house this afternoon. Snow still fairly deep in the woods... Probably will be totally snow free in a week or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NegativeEPO Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Last year we had a top 5 warmest May. This year, it’s looking like a top 5 coldest, and potentially the coldest of all time. Do we even hit 80 this month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is now the 6th morning in a row where its been overcast as if its winter still...ridiculous! My forecast lately will show party sunny but 95% of the time its overcast instead.

Jokes aside, I was just thinking the other day of how even here, most deciduous trees have full grown green leaves for only about 4.5 months on average. Chop a solid month off of that for the upper peninsula, and it's amazing how many deciduous trees really do thrive and grow well in those conditions up north.

CheeselandSkies Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Looks just fine from where I'm sitting, after we get through the next few days. I take back what I said. After a couple nice days looks like the upper Midwest/GL will be plunged into the same cool, overcast crap for the next 2 weeks.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
