I wonder if anybody in IL can dip below 30 for the dewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Garden going to enjoy the next week.Tranquil high temps and precip chances every few days are good, but the addition of warmer night lows and more humidity would do wonders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is literally not a cloud in the sky. Can't wait to get out later. I had an enormous diurnal temp swing that surpassed the previous largest, low of 5.5C and a high of 27C. Funny you mention the lack of clouds, it was almost 100% blue skies except a ghost or two of a wisp which is something I honestly can't recall before in a very dry day like this. Usually its either nothing at all or some fluffs. It was great out there. Overall it was a strange day since it got very breezy as the afternoon wore on and now its just plain windy as fall is, I'm getting gusts of 40 mph by estimate. Not many were outside by early evening. Going back down to 5C overnight with winds high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get out later. Resembles March and April weather in AZ. Crystal blue skies with warm but comfortable daytime temps and beautiful cooler evenings as temps drop in the dry air. If only we had 3-4 more months each year with these conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 The 15% RH at ORD yesterday tied the record for lowest RH in June, set on 6/11/1988. The drought was already underway by then in 1988, so it makes what happened yesterday a little more impressive imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 This was a bit of a miss. Posted 3:15 PM Friday: SATURDAY PARTLY SUNNY. HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. more like cloudy with with spits of showers and temps in 60's. If I had outdoor plans I'd be a bit perturbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 ORD has exactly average temps (0.0) through the first 5 days of June (edit: actually will be a hair above avg as the high today occurred after the afternoon climate report came out). Will probably dip below average over the next several days, but that would be very vulnerable to eventually getting wiped out if anything remotely close to what's signaled way out in the long range comes to fruition.

CheeselandSkies Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Madison is kind of on a "tongue" extending eastward from that large area of precip crawling out of Iowa. Been raining steadily for over an hour while many locations in southern Wisconsin have been dry so far today. Radarscope shows quite a bit of lightning approaching the I-380 corridor. @hawkeye_wx Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 1.48" of needed rain fell here overnight into this morning. The soaking was widespread from my area westward into central Iowa. It was mostly just a gentle moderate rain, but a couple tiny, bubbly cells produced the first lightning and thunder (only a few rumbles, but it counts) since April. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Nice soakers this afternoon with some severe-warned action. Picked up 1.45" with most of that falling with this afternoon's storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 We missed rain to the southeast earlier and now whiffing to the northwest with flooding rains. Hopefully will see some scraps later tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Prelim data in for May. On the warm side this year. Spring overall ended average. (added anom map for Spring) Note: Prelim data is typically within 0.5K of the final average for the month. I'm expecting an uptick in current value after the other datasets report. It was very warm east of the Mississippi, but my coordinates take in some area to the west of that where it wasn't as warm. And my baseline is different than what anom maps are showing using 1991-2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The trend towards more of an omega block pattern in the mid-range isn't too surprising, especially with the MJO in a cooler phase. That's been the status quo much of this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 How does one get the top 10 largest rainfall totals by day for cities like Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, etc. using a current database? Checked https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=dtx which doesn't have anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
