Spartman Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 For at least the first week of May, we kick off the month with below-normal temperatures and consecutive days of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 This month will be better than April by default. Average temps going up is a nice thing to have. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Gray, wet day. Wind has slacked off considerably. Had an inch of rain so far. Looks like temps on the increase this week. Should be pretty average by the end of the week, even a little above with 50's, and even some 60's away from the Big Lake. Getting better. My Mother's Day forecast in the Holiday thread looks to be on track. Rain/stms on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardypalmguy Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Great start to May! Heavy overcast, 30mph winds again, and afternoon temps in the 40s. The endless spring hurricane winds. Makes every day miserable. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike last weekend when the neighborhood was alive with people outdoors doing their thang, this weekend it's like a ghost town. The only sound you hear is the roaring of the wind through the mostly bare trees. Good day to binge on the finale of Ozark I guess lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardypalmguy Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 More endless clouds and garbage weather. I swear May is now a cloudier month than November or December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 1.11" of rain the past couple days. Now mid 40's with mostly cloudy skies on cool W/NW wind. Looks like dry weather, and 50's with E/NE winds starting Wed. That's pretty seasonable here along the shore for early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Kind of odd how with the extended stretch of BA temps (leafout is the furthest behind on May 2nd I ever recall it being in my adult life, and that includes the godawful springs of 2014 and 2018); yet I've already been on two local/regional storm chases this year (could have been three if I hadn't been dumb and sat out 3/5), which is more than I usually have by this point in the spring. For obvious reasons, I associate severe potential with AA temps and the (theoretically) accompanying moisture/instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really all you need is a window of warmer temps to have some severe opportunity, even at this time of year. Maybe it's not as ideal as a pattern that is not so cool in the means though.

Hoosier Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Today is actually tolerable. The temp is on the cool side but not having hurricane force winds makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm anomalies in the south and cold in the north help the cause for severe weather. It's usually a miss south for the GL, but it means more shear if a there is a good northern stream low to draw the warmth up even briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Looks like May is picking up where April left off with another solid rainer tonight/tomorrow. Maybe up to an inch around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Euro shows highs near 90 Tue-Thu next week for a large portion of the sub, even up to Bo-ville. Quite the drastic change on the way it appears. Today it looks like we may stay AOB 50. Picked up 0.53" rain so far this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the drastic change on the way it appears. Not only that, but the Euro also has the dewpoint in the mid 70s. That's ridiculous. I'm going to assume that's too high given the time of year, but it should still be humid. I'd really prefer we get a week of pleasant 70s instead of going from 50 to 90. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The progged dewpoints are crazy as you alluded to. Would be more likely to see that at the end of May or in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'm going to be playing this game again, next Tue is not going to be 21C but more like 28C with a 30C possible. I'd lean to my first 30C reading of the year occurring during next week's heat being a certainty. I can't believe PMX's medium-range forecasts are this bad!
