    1 mile visibility at GRR just before noon. It is crazy outside right now.

    Sounds like mosquito heaven.

    Ended up with a little over 1.5" here today. Thankfully the lake shadow didn't seem to come into play.

    You cut off the date, when is that? ^

    With all those leaves it doesn't look like much grass would grow there anyway.

    No heat? How many 90 degree days has GRR had? I count 5 so far. That doesn't sound like no heat. You could make a case for lower humidity than normal.

    Other than lack of rain, I am not sure anyone is complaining about the low dewpoints. Except for our resident palm tree lover.

    Where was a discussion like this in the winter instead of the usual decline in QPF that seemed to occur with nearly every storm. We definitely need the rain so this is a good thing. Latest GEFS/ECMWF ensembles support potential for three quarters of an inch to an inch of rainfall from Sunday through Tuesday. A gradual trend upward a bit in ensemble qpf has been noted the past 48 hours which seems reasonable given the evolution of the upper level pattern.

    And so it begins....

    A tale of two different regimes here.

    Same thing here. I did manage to sneak in 0.26" around 11:00 last night. Kinda surprised me given it was well after dark and the radar was clear in my area when it started.

    Continuing the theme of dry It is likely that we`ll finish May without another drop of rain. Assuming this holds, our climatological station at Grand Rapids will finish the driest month of May since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. May 1936 registered 0.72" of total rainfall, which is the driest May on record, while this May is only a tad wetter at 0.84", which would rank 2nd driest at Grand Rapids. Other sites such as Lansing and Muskegon, assuming no more rain, would end up with the 5th driest May on record.

    Tell that to the fruit tree growers.

    When I first moved to Michigan in 2010 I distinctly remember in Holland waking up multiple times to tstorms very late at night to right before sunrise. It almost was regular enough to make me think this is how it goes in Michigan. Then reality set in over the next 12 years and I realized this was an anomaly, not the norm.

    I haven't found any alternative yet. Hopefully someone has.

    There are a lot of dirt roads in Ohio. Where I grew up in SE Ohio there are more dirt than paved.

    Just like GRR having the 3rd snowiest winter ever and being shown below normal to near normal. The resolution of the map isn't very good for local areas.

    Those totals for qpf are amazing. Shoveling/plowing that stuff must have been a nightmare. 52" is more in one storm than a majority of the forum received all winter.

    You passed up an opportunity to say best climo

    Had enough flakes this morning to turn the deck slightly slushy. Mostly rain now. Keeping the May snow streak alive for another year.

    Waiting for our Dayton area friend Spartman to come on and complain how it will never get warm in his back yard this summer.
  24. WestMichigan
    GRR temperature departures through 4/11 were +12.7. Now they stand at +3.3. Realistically the departure wasn't going to stay that high for the month but it has been quite the switch since the 11th.

    Congratulations!
