cyclone77 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Over 3.5" of rain since late last evening. There's standing water everywhere, even 12+hrs after the rains mostly shut off. Won't take much to get us up over the 4" mark if we get any kind of action later on. From 3.3" snow 6 days ago, to a flash flood event, and now a PDS tor watch. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Strange that both ORD and PWK are 66 degrees right now, but MDW is only at 64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Getting frequent 40-45mph gusts. MLI hit 49mph earlier. The landscape has dramatically greened up after all the rain, and fixed nitrogen from the lightning. Trees have swelled buds. Won't be long before leaves start popping out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
