Chicago Storm Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Spent the past 8 days helping guide a chase tour. We unfortunately didn’t get a tornado, but had high quality storms most days...Chasing anywhere from near the Mexico border to Nebraska. If anyone has ever pondered heading out on one of these tours, do it. It’s one of the best experiences you’ll have...Not only because of the chasing, but because of the people you meet on the tour and along the way, and places you visit along the way. I’ll throw some pictures up later.A few pics. Forum upload compression ftl. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It must be a blast to be a fruit grower in this state. Frost every morning for what, a week to 10 days straight? Then blink and here comes the heat. And no rain. This weather better not mess with my fall apple picking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strawberries and blueberries seem to have survived the multiple frosts and my garden is in . Looking at getting a better watering setup in case the drought conditions continue or worsen over the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Thank god we're about to get out of this garbage weather pattern. Each of the last four days has gotten worse. Today is pretty lousy with wind-driven very light rain and chilly temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormfanaticInd Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 We are in unusual times with how quiet it is thunderstorm wise. I think I've only heard thunder maybe three times so far this spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've only heard thunder maybe three times so far this spring I guess the pattern will change to something more zonal starting Tuesday. ECMWF has decent MUCAPE coming up the MS valley finally. Worried it will be a lot of whiff south for MBY though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 A dry cold front passed through Las Vegas yesterday, with some incredibly dry air...and cold temps for the time of year. At 3 PM yesterday, it was 85/-19, RH 1%. I've never seen an RH of 1% before, or even 2-3%. It may only hit the low 70s today, and drop into the low 50s tonight. Normals are 91/68. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Today is 10 years since the Joplin tornado. Initial reports can be unreliable, so you knew it was going to be really bad when they were already saying that there were over 20 fatalities very early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagged a needle nader out near Parnell IA that afternoon. Little did we know what was going on in the next state south. Can't believe that it's been 10yrs already, sheesh.

For here its lack of thunder period and not even good rain. Gray. Sprinkle here spinkle there. Shields are up preventing anything enough to be beneficial, but we still get the depressing clouds. Might as well be living in Scottland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
