hawkeye_wx Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The sprinkles and showers are once again expanding across my area this morning. I like the warmth, but this pattern needs to end asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the warmth, but this pattern needs to end asap. I have become quite accustomed to the Cape Coral lifestyle lately. Another day of 88-90 degrees, first top popped by 9am in the pool, afternoon siesta, more floating and drinking until sunset. Going to be a real slap in the face to return to the land of dry, cloudy, cool, and boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 82 here today with dews over 65. Clouding up now with some sprinkles moving in. The gnats are out in full force now, one negative aspect of the recent rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 High of 88 at ORD. Warm enough today to push the May temp departure back into positive territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This March-May stretch has been a mind-blowingly boring stretch of weather and we're some of the lucky ones who actually got some rain. Hopefully something interesting happens in June, or July. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 It was suppose to be around 20ºC this morning and very uncharacteristically stable with the high later rising another 1C. Instead of party sunny and 20, it was overcast and dropping earlier 0.5C every 20 minutes!! It literally got down to 14C. What in the fresh hell is this? Sun is coming out a bit now and temp rising again to 17C. Why can't something freaky like that drop happen in reverse, so 26C? Reminds me of a certain year.

Models not showing much QPF so it will probably go through with no fanfare. Then its back to stuck north of the front with a northeast breeze like 90% of this goddamn spring.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The first partly sunny day in over a week allowed our temp to reach about 80º. The instability then led to pop-up cells, with the strongest cell moving directly over my yard. I picked up a quick 0.97" of rain. There was very little thunder, but it was the first since April.

cyclone77 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Already 80/67 at 10am. Some weak convection out in east Iowa will hopefully lollygag over this way this afternoon and take advantage of the more unstable air out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Interesting last couple days. Saturday had a high of 81, then shwrs/stms (0.88") Sat night. Sunday I had a whopping high of 41! A mere 50 so far today. Tomorrow looks like it's back to around 80 for a day. Lilacs are starting to bloom already. That's ahead of normal for me by at least couple weeks. Life next to Lake Superior is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 88 at ORD. Not sure if there is enough gas in the tank to get to 90. Airmass aloft is marginal for 90 but mixing is pretty deep today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of disgusting that the models are showing that, but some rn/sn mix or maybe a brief turn over to snow in the early a.m. Friday is possible away from the Lake. Possible frost advisories are being mentioned, too, for Sat a.m.. But that's not unusual. We can have frost up to mid June, like last year. EDIT: BTW the latest measurable snowfall in Duluth above a trace is the 28th (0.4" 1965). The day prior on the 27th had 2.0" in 1932. So we shall see if the 28th bears fruit.

Gonna be awhile before we get our first 90. Ground is relatively wet out this way which cuts down on max heating potential, and no heat is in the forecast as well. Looking pretty chilly later this week with some cold rains Thu into Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Speaking of late snows, I just came across this from Grand Portage, MN. It's in the NE corner of NE MN just south of the Canadian border. July 3rd-12th 9.0" 7/3/1897 8.9" 7/4/1897 5.8" 7/5/1897 2.1" 7/6/1897 2.2" 7/7/1897 12.1" 7/8/1897 6.5" 7/9/1897 0.1" 7/10/1897 1.5" 7/11/1897 0.2" 7/12/1897 That's insane! LOL!!

I think this is an urban legend. Besides how insane that would be (just seems to defy any logic)...I can't find any evidence of this occurring. Not that wikipedia is gospel, but the page below shows that MN's latest measurable snow is June 4th (1935)...and earliest measurable is September 14th (1964). No measurable snow has ever occurred in July & August. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_weather_records Plus, this page indicates the all-time record low for Grand Portage in July is 38F: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Portage,_Minnesota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the temps were logged as no cooler than 40, so someone made a huge typo. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking into this... for Chicago, it's only the 2nd time that the first 90 degree high came on the same day in back to back years. The other time was June 10 in 2015/2016. It took over 140 years of temperature records to happen for the first time, and now it's happened twice in less than a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I've already reached 30ºC or 86F and its not even noon yet. This is far beyond the forecast high from yesterday, hopefully the same over-performing for Thurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocked off 4 degrees from the 11 AM high temp of 85. Sitting at 81 now. It could recover a little before sunset, but probably not much as it isn't completely sunny anywhere upstream. Just hope there's enough instability left late tonight for at least a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
