hawkeye_wx Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't think northern Maine is tornado territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 also its crazy that most of Kansas has not had a tornado watch yet this year. In fact the state only had its first tornado last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchener poster Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I’m going to switch my vacation days. Tuesday was supposed to be great. No way in heck I’m going to take Tuesday off from work now. Went from 71 degrees to 51 degrees. I’ll take off that following Monday instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plus side is that the averages are sky rocketing right now so even below normal is now 50s/60s. In a few weeks a cold day will be upper 60s/lower 70s. I keep seeing hints that the summer is going to be above normal but every time a warm up comes close it falls apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @mississaugasnow both live in the wrong country if you expect constant blowtorches and heatwaves. We got spoiled with above average May's from 2010-2016 raising our expectations for May temperatures. But to be fair, what we're seeing this weekend and into next week is typical weather for May. I think it's time you take a trip down memory lane and look at other May's like 2008, 2005 and 2002 just to name a few. All of them expect 2008 transitioned into a hot summer despite being well below normal in May. We only average 12 days above 20C in May. There's still 15 days left and we've had one officially at YYZ so far. May is NOT a summer month for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will end up being around 220 straight days below 70. We gave her a run today! Highest temp of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 No mention that this was the 3rd year in a row to first reach 20C in May: http://www.civil.uwaterloo.ca/weather/2020contest/contest.html "And a question, should we allow people to choose dates in June next year?" I forgot it was May 13 not 14 for the previous record longest. I do remember it being 1919 however. Interesting that it was right in the middle of the afternoon as May years tend to be very early in the day like 10 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 It's crazy how much wetter the 30 year climate means will be when the data set changes from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020 For MSN Jan 1.23" -> 1.46" Feb 1.45" -> 1.52" Mar 2.19" -> 2.26" Apr 3.40" -> 3.78" May 3.55" -> 4.02" (at least) Jun 4.54" -> 5.27" (estimated) Jul 4.18" -> 4.34" (estimated) Aug 4.26" -> 4.27" (estimated) Sep 3.13" -> 3.37" (estimated) Oct 2.40" -> 2.73" (estimated) Nov 2.39" -> 2.21" (estimated) Dec 1.75" -> 1.71" (estimated) Only December and November have seen slight decreases in precip and some months (Apr - Jun, Sep - Oct) have seen significant increases in precip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 hundreds of millions of years ago, the midwest was under a shallow sea.

Tornado touchdown about 4 miles south of me. Saw the broad rotation move just southeast of me but view was blocked by houses. Some damage done too. Caught on video and numerous photos. Also about 4 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. *What is up with all the rain this year and last? I have had some shrubs die from too much dang water. Plus a small lake in my yard, the street, the neighbors yard, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This weather pattern SUCKS!!! I've had enough of this cold crap. I should not have to be wearing my winter coat within two weeks of June. Models badly underforecasted this big cutoff low. The NWS is talking about the cloud shield holding over the region through at least Thursday, if not Friday. Ugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
