cyclone77 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Humidity values got as low as 15% late this afternoon. Had temps near 80 with dews around 30. We can definitely use some moisture, as it's starting to dry out quite a bit around here. Only 0.09" since Apr 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO is looking more likely that we to go back to cooler than normal with an eastern trough/western ridge around or after the 15th of the month and you guessed it, the blocking persists the rest of the month. Hopefully we’re done with the freezing temps but I bet we get close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 MJO looks a bit messy for the next couple of weeks. After the middle of May: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Normal temps for mid-May here are 72°/61°. I'd take 10 degrees below normal and be happy. Of course I also wouldn't complain about 10 degrees above normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainsucks Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 as I've been saying, the models have been exhibiting a severe cold bias in the long range for a while now, including the ensembles. Take the GEFS for example, you can't make this stuff up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 DVN's radar is all whacko right now. Somehow they have the image turned counter-clockwise by 90 degrees. The precip is moving north-northwest on the animation when it should be moving east-northeast. The ground clutter from the giant wind farm down in Henry county is now up in northern Whiteside CO. You can see it on the COD site, and other software programs show the same thing, so it's definitely a DVN issue. Their radar was down for awhile the other day. Wonder if something got screwed up putting it back online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 .25 inch of rain last night with a low of 40. Already 48 with just a few sprinkles out there. First deer I've seen up here since late December. Slowly migrating back to the higher terrain areas. I specifically remember this young doe. It was hell keeping her out of the garden last Summer... Bottle rockets seem to do the trick tho lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Dews have jumped up into the low 60s. That combined with temps over 80 makes it feel a little more summery out there this afternoon. Hoping the Iowa storms later tonight don't turn into sloppy seconds for the QCA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good night. Up and down night here also. At some point there was some larger-than-quarter hail. Sounded like hell on the aluminum back porch cover. Tore the sheet-rock out of the trees here. 1.72 in the tippy bucket so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
