Expand GRR missed a random EF0 spinup on April 10 though. Most tornado warnings in my area happen after the fact and not under a watch.

hawkeye_wx Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It's shocking that 1993 was actually just as slow, severe-wise, as this year up to this point. All I remember about '93 was how it stormed and rained constantly all summer. I was golfing a lot that summer and the courses were always flooded. It seems '93 was pretty dead, but then Mother Nature flipped the switch in early June. Unfortunately, 2021's line will likely end up somewhere in the blank area at the bottom. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Random banter. Everyone knows I am the climo guy and I love looking at old climate data. I'm especially a sucker for analyzing months that were anomalously warm or cold, wet or dry, snowy or snowless. However, the May that just ended really made me think. May locally went from temps way colder than average, to way warmer than average, and ended way colder than average. What was the end result? A month that was slightly colder than average, one that would certainly not stick out as an extreme when glancing at monthly mean temperatures. I need to start looking at months that finished relatively close to the mean average and learn about some potentially interesting weather events I have previously overlooked!

Indystorm Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Skilling said this was the 7th warmest and third driest spring for Chicago. Have we even had a t storm this spring here in Griffith in the Calumet region? I remember lightning to my west when I was in Munster the morning of April 5 but can't think of much else.
