Brian D Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 0.75" of rain last night into the early am hrs. 1.11" for a good start to the month. Avg is 4.23", so a way to go yet, and forecast looks decent for more significant opportunities. For May, ended with 3.88" (3.30" avg) with 2.12" falling on the 22nd. YTD through May is 10.61 (9.66" avg) so doing well there. Last year, starting in May, precip was pretty bleak until later in Sept. Doing better so far this year.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 First truly sweaty summers day in Minneapolis. 81/64 currently. We’ve had a few days with a hotter air temp but the dews were upper 40s/50s at that time. Short lived, storms and a cold front tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds cleared around midday, and temps started heading N pretty quick. Plenty of juice for more stms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 87 here today (MLI 89'd). Dews in the 60s bumped the heat index up into the lower 90s. Can definitely feel it as we're not used to humidity yet. Area fields have corn 1-2ft tall already, so oppressive humidity probably isn't too far off in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Went to go for a quick night time bike ride to the store and enjoy the cicadathon ambiance around etc. Then quickly started coming across huge Cicada spots under the street lights ahead everywhere. I was like what the. Put the bike back. And walked instead. They’re everywhere. Seen a bunch new ones still climbing everywhere unhatched/hatching etc. Definitely been pitching past days. Neighborhood is a few hairs away getting swamped with them everywhere. With a possible call for a state of emergency. Like a cicada blizzard. Residents trapped and having to call in work with a margarita in hand and while the brooding that has unearthed upon us is buzzing and mating away ok I’m done 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest wunderground station with reliable precipitation data has 2.14" of rain for yesterday. We are now at around 9" of rain since May 21st. The killer is is that even the smaller rain events have overperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Fog, low clouds with temps in the mid 60's this morning should give way to a very warm and humid day... 82 is forecast with dews as high as mid 60's. Cool weather in the 60's looks to follow for the next week. Interestingly, the bugs have not been that bad. I think the heavy frost put a hurting to the noseeums and the dry weather has kept the skeeters in check. Have noticed some blk flies on the increase but nothing too annoying yet.

Brian D Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Powerball chuckling at the warmer wx up here reminds me of a story published in our local paper about 25 yrs or so ago. The writer, Monica, had friends come up from TX, and stayed with her for about a week or so during the summer. Around mid July-early Aug, I believe We just so happened to have a heat wave come on with temps in the upper 80's-low 90's, with higher dews, which is unusually warm for here. A/C is not commonly used here in homes. Businesses, and vehicles have it, tho. Monica didn't have A/C, so the house stayed pretty darn warm, and she was using fans to stay cool as best as possible. She couldn't understand why they were complaining so much about the heat. Being from TX, they should be used to that by now, especially since it was a bit hotter there during the summer on a regular basis. When she asked, they said they lived in A/C cooled homes, and all businesses, and cars had A/C. So basically, they were not used to the heat because they never were in the heat that much. We tend to weather brief heat waves without A/C around here. Although, I did eventually buy a window unit for the hotter days. But I did understand how the TX folks felt. Back in my Army days in NJ, we would be pretty warm during the summer, and being fairly close to the ocean (about 5 miles inland), humidity stayed up. A/C was necessary to cool off. And I did my basic training in Ft. Sill, OK during the summer. That's in SW OK. Got pretty darn hot there, and being from up here, I was most definitely not used to that. The barracks did have A/C, but we were outside most of the day, except for indoor classes. Drank lots of water, and salt tabs when needed. So, believe it or not, I started getting used to heat. Having A/C cool downs at night were helpful, but my body could handle the daytime heat better once I became more acclimated. In early June 1989, I came home on leave for my sister's HS grad, and I was chilled because it was already very warm in NJ, and I was used to that already. It was 70's/50's here with lower humidity, with 80's/60's there with higher humidity. The N areas of our sub really are different, especially nearer the Lake. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I know there's been a lot of discussion here about cicadas, but this is fascinating stuff. Due to climate change, they are having increasing difficulty in counting time between hatchings. I think in the future, it may be less predictable when they arrive. Cicadas are back, but climate change is messing with their body clocks - CBS News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamy, but with a strong breeze gusting to 30mph it’s keeping things much more comfortable today. Storms should start firing in the next couple hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Foggy am turned sunny midday. Temps running in the low 70's away from the Lake, but much cooler on the shoreline in the mid 50's with a lake wind E/NE at 15 mph. Upper 60's here at the house. Expecting a good chance of shwrs/stms later this evening into the night. Just a note: Geese moving heavy N the last few days. Guess they finally think it's good enough to head to CA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Sun finally broke through about 2 hours ago. 79/66 with a heat index of 81. Gusty south wind keeping it nice especially in the woods. Hoping for at least a1/2 to 3/4’s tonight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scattered stms moving in from the S ahead of the front. Fogbank on the lake with the warmer, humid air interacting with the cooler waters. Stronger downdrafts from stms love to push that fog inland on gusty winds this time of year, or it will get pulled in from the strong updrafts of approaching stms from the W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Tonight's withering band of Iowa sloppy seconds looks like that will be it for the foreseeable future for meaningful rainfall. After a fairly wet Mar-May we were due for a long dry stretch however. Picked up 0.04" of anvil rain earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The real bust is here. A couple of days ago, NWS had my area of Northern Indiana with a 60% chance of rain yesterday and an 80% chance last night. Then yesterday morning they dropped the chance for daytime rain 30% after 2 PM, but continued the 80% chance last night and 90% chance all day today. Waking up to clear skies, no overnight rain, and still an 80% chance, but only after 2 PM. I think I'll go ahead and water my garden this morning.

weatherbo Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Rain showers moving through this morning, maybe even a thundershower later. Temps should stay in the low 60's with the rain today and probably not get above that through Monday with highs generally in the upper 50's and low 60's and nighttime lows in the 40's. Garden will not like this weather but for me it's refreshing. Along with the cool temps, daily rain chances as well which is def nice after the extended dry period.

Torchageddon Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Warmest morning so far of the year 19C low which accounts for .7% of all my low overnight temps. Dark with some dense filtered sun at times earlier. There has been way too much cloudiness during this humid stretch. Three turtles on the trail this morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
