Could see smoke from my house earlier today. Not seeing anything this evening. Hopefully this will get contained quick. Lake Superior is a natural barrier, so they can concentrate on areas that will impact property more. Was in the 80's today with very low RH. Awesome mid May day. Should be in the 70's tomorrow with a little less wind, but still a decent breeze. Thankfully lots of rain coming starting Sunday aftrn sometime.

Quite possibly the best symbolic metric for that is the fact that the nights won’t be nearly as cold. This will cause a healthy status of green up to go full on jungle by the end of the week. Frankly, I’m amazed green ups as far as it is the way it’s been dipping into 37 every night for the past 7000 years

While it was closer to 18C/65F today, it still felt cool and unwholesome out there with some patchy sun. I think around 1pm that's when it got mostly cloudy . Thurs it was 3pm the veil of despair smothered us. I find I feel unwell as soon as the veil of despair makes it over here. Tomorrow rain, just sickening.

Yep... Mayo still sucks

Just had a heck of a detour but made it to our campground. First time I’ve been personally impacted by wildfire like that

Wow! Escaped em all here in Southington. Twisters don’t like my town. And That’s fine by me.

Based on the 18z GFS, drought conditions are going to get worse

Reading like the historical accts I post.

Was south of Springfield 2 weeks ago and was commenting to a friend that I’ve never seen so much dust blowing around in Illinois before. The winds weren’t even all that strong. About an hour later we got a push alert on our phones for a dust storm warning. I don’t think I’ve ever had a push alert for that in Illinois before.

That was a wild day. Best structure I’ve seen in southern NE. My uncle got hit by the tornado on his way home from Waterbury. He had the rather extraordinary distinction of being hit directly by three tornadoes while living in SCT. House got smoked by the July ‘89 F4, then 2018 and 2020 (or was it ‘21?)

Had to cover everything again last night. Hopefully that's the final one for the season. The dry air is allowing free falling temps but it will also help get the heat going.

So exciting!

The bolded part is what makes me bitch and moan. I'm tired of the wild 30 degree temperature swings. From here on out, I'd like to see the cooler periods hold in the 70's, not drop back into the 50's (like yesterday) and 60's.

Low of 45 at 6:15am, high of 80 at 5:35pm.

Fires started this aftrn just NE of town. Winds are starting to slack off, so hopefully they will be able to get containment tonight. Residents may lose homes.

Such an exciting time of year. On the precipice of moving into and locking in deep summer . We begin tomorrow . It is over !

Cory raging

Does it remind you of the weather that you left a few days ago?

Looks like back to back nights of decaying Iowa convection tonight/tomorrow night. Hoping for a half inch between the two nights.

Less than .2” outta this hot mess of a storm.

I wonder if this cool pattern interupted by a week of extreme heat continues into summer? Been weird…March April and now May

Nasty day here in Vancouver. Fairly heavy rain, 52 degrees and 30-40 mph winds.

Yep a wild day. My mother and brother were at a wedding near Carmel NY. I told them to get the hell out as soon as it was done. They thankfully just got out ahead of it. A lot of damage back there.

18z NAM has the snow bullseye over...DIA?
