Hoosier Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Quite breezy out there. Actually kind of impressive how windy it is given the extensive cloudiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If those temps hold for Sat, Chi-town looking at temps not seen in well over hundred years. Of course it depends on what the midnight reading will be for official high as that is for the afternoon map. 1883 42 1894 46 1892 47 1919 49 1897 50 1923 51 1917 52 1901 52 1889 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because the official Chicago obs were right on the lake in the olden days. The official site moved to O'Hare (ORD) in 1980. Needless to say, it makes Chicago weather records a bit misleading and difficult to interpret. It probably won't matter much in this case anyway, as there will be a midnight high around 60 at ORD.

cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Thundering. Nice broken line of elevated storms popping a bit to the southeast of here. EDIT: Great light show in eastern sky. Lots of loud thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Storms forecast 3 separate times today, morning ones weren't even close, nothing at 7pm-10pm, then some close by storms just after 10 that somehow fizzled out fast despite thermos being decent. The CAMs which can't be trusted showed storms at 1am-7am at some point but backing off that now just showing light showers haha. I'm not complaining! ^ That went to this in 40 mins: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 LOT: "DEW POINTS BOTTOMING OUT IN THE 30S AND LOWER 40S SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND UNSEASONABLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE AROUND 1030 MB OVERHEAD SUNDAY NIGHT WILL PAVE THE WAVE FOR QUITE POSSIBLY THE LAST TRULY COOL NIGHT UNTIL NEXT FALL." Foreigner. Sorry RC. but saves the day with this: "CURRENT SIGNS POINT TOWARD ABOVE NORMAL WARMTH FOR THE SUNDAY-MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY PERIOD.

bowtie` Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Kind of time dependent but on visual sat whatever is moving southeast to northwest in northwestern Iowa looks cool. Counter flow moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Nothing better than seeing the weather geek humanize the technical discussion. It's like were real people : ANTICIPATE A TRANQUIL START TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND FRIDAY EVENING WITH FAIRLY COMFORTABLE TEMPS.

bowtie` Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Well, that was an old fashion gully washer. Had 0.56" which sounds rather bland but when it falls in 15 minutes it becomes something else. And lol at KIND only getting 0.04 in the same time frame. Those 22 miles can make a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hard tropical rains today. Just a little soft rumbling thunder, but major downpours. Looks like no drought any time soon this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 This upper low system has sort of been a forecast nightmare for LOT. Wednesday and Thursday "numerous showers/storms" have pretty much been relegated to a 1 hours window of scattered showers yesterday afternoon. Even temps. projected in the 60's far over performed. Unfortunaetly, now the worst day of the stretch is Friday, which was supposed to be decent. Now Cloudy,windy and low 60's. See if they can the last 18 hours of it pegged. just enjoyed one of the nicer evenings on the patio . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 There is a stationary rain band stalled IMBY. The feature really isn't moving at all. SE side of town is getting absolutely inundated.

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Got another 0.37" today. Most of the area corn is up to about 6" or so. It'll really take off later this weekend when next heatwave arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
