Looks like they shut down and I like the tabulated data it had. Site goes offline May 19... anyone have another site that tabulates the GFS data like this? I hate clicking through multiple graphics to see all the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Interesting chart from NWS Duluth. Been really quiet on the storm front this year. And the upcoming forecast is pretty quiet as well for the next 7 days. Looks like 2016, 2018, and 2019 had similar later starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Models trending slower and more west with the trough axis as I feared. Michigan might as well be a desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Decent little soaker this morning; 0.54". Cool day with temps failing to make it out of the 50s. Hopefully the last day in the 50s till October. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Some of the models have bumped the heavier rains a little further north here in the DVN cwa for tonight. Looks like 1-2" of rain could be on the way for here/QC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 There were training showers to my east this afternoon that slowly crept west towards me; I got some cloudy conditions now but no rain as it fizzled out. It was a great day before those clouds and would've been mad if the rain was just 25 miles west of where it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 3.19" for the month now. Looks like another slug of rains later tonight/tomorrow morning that could deliver another 1/2" or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The big warmup has been pushed back to Wednesday. Clouds and sprinkles/showers held us in the low to mid 60s Saturday and Sunday, and today is no different. It's breezy today as well, so it's rather chilly. Tuesday could be a washout, which will hold us down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Steady rains all day slowly added up to 0.63" here, 0.82" at MLI. Still some light rain coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryness is not 2012 widespread. Just need a front and low level jet to be aimed right for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Models and forecast were awful on rainfall amounts for here for the past 2 days. Way too high. Just been bouts of light rain, adding up to 0.30". Didn't want a ton of rain...don't need it...but a little more would've been better for my new sod in the backyard.

Doesn't guarantee anything, but you'd rather see that than all kinds of dryness to the sw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Only 0.28" of rain here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Steady rain continues to fall, now up to 0.94". Looks like more rains are developing upstream over west-central IL so another 1/4-1/2" is possible by morning. Over 4" for May, and over 13" for the year now. MLI is up to over 14" for the year.

In the meantime, our forecast out this way has had rain in it for almost every period since last Saturday night. Total ? The big T. If we don't see anything making it this far east today, we're out of luck until at least early next week and more likely mid-week. The rich get richer.... I was attending an online workshop hosted by IWX yesterday and after it was over a couple of mets and a couple of us stayed online for awhile. They are becoming pretty concerned about drought in our area. Even though Hoosier takes some ribbing about it, the drought thread may have legs for at least part of the subforum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Started off 2ºC cooler than forecast for my min, now exceeding points as I'm at 24C now up 14C from 3 hours ago. Hope to see the highest temp of 2021 so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 A little light rain this aftrn with fog that rolled in off the Lake. A much needed wet stretch coming up in the next 7 days with a little thunder possible. Dandelions are pretty thick in the lawns around here this week as the temps were very nice for mid May.

cyclone77 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Just heard thunder for 2nd time since last fall as a micro cell passed over. Had very brief downpour, picked up 0.05". 1.14" total since yesterday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I picked up 0.10" of rain yesterday, 0.05" early this morning, and then another 0.13" late this afternoon. Of course, it was cloudy all day again. We've had about an hour or two of sun all week. This gloomy, wet moist plume up through Iowa really needs to go the f away.

Had a decent amount of clouds, but plenty of mixed sun and a building cu field. Kind of looked like a storm could pop out of some of those but they didn't. Made it to 83 both here and MLI. These mid 60 degree dews the past few days feel more like the mid 70s after the desert-like air masses we've had most of the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Since Wed, I've had 0.70" of rain. Much needed. Very mild today, and a little humid out. It's 72 with a dewpoint of 63. Nice early summer weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
