This is my fave weather. 50's and 60's and overcast. Wish it could be like this every day in the summer...save the occasional derecho. 

Kinda like how my favorite winter weather is 30s and 40s and dry.

I'm guessing the quick flip to strong Nino has caused this major blockage.

Sky already has that milky look to it due to smoke in the upper levels. This after all-day overcast, showers, and low 60s yesterday. Easily the dullest May-June of my adult life. Last thunder I heard was still because of the storms I chased on 5/7.

If not for 3/31, I think this would have been the year that finally killed my interest in weather.

Next 240 hours looks fun.

You should be in a pretty good spot, especially in the coming decades. People probably said the same about southern Michigan in the 1860s, as you can see from this table displaying the average monthly coldest minimum temperature by decade at Lansing: how can you plant anything in a spot where the first freeze occurs in August and sometimes in July (like 1863)? Now 160 years later, and it seldom drops much below 50F in those months, and the first freeze doesn't occur until October. The September mean monthly minimum so far this decade is 9F higher than the August mean monthly minimum from the 1860s.

Where can I get this for MKE?

There can be impacts in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, and possibly Chicago.

Smoke em if you got em.  Our 2023 summer highlight will be smoke not thunderstorms.

Here we are at mid June and models continue to show an endless stream of rex blocks and omega blocks.  It's quite depressing.

Maybe this is what climate change will end up giving us.  What has been happening in winter and now in summer.  A wet monsoon and dry monsoon season.

This happens on Superstar every year.  The snow does not affect the leaf out. 

I thought plants leafed out based on soil temperature.  Snow would keep ground cold.

Temps on the cooler side today again. Upper 50's-low 60's. Scattered frost this morning being reported as temps away from the lake dipped to the low-mid 30's. 

That heat dome is bad for Iowa bug good for MBY if a ridge rider MCS pattern can happen.  Always the ever present SW whiff risk here though with warm front getting hung up on I-80/I-90 regardless of what models say.  Ready to start pulling my hair out.

Boy if we get heat like what the Euro is showing things are really gonna go downhill lol.

Off to a hot start of summer in Minneapolis. 3rd most 90s through June 5th

And placed on the chart 4 of the last 6 years.  Perfect.  Palm tree weather is getting closer.

@CheeselandSkiescould be worse.  We could have endless cut offs parked over us like New England.

hardypalmguy, can you attempt to identify this palm for me?

 

 

 

This is a single voluntary palm on my property. I did not plant the thing. It showed up late last year. I assume from a bird or squirrel or some other mode of transport. It looked pretty sad during the cool damp early spring but now that it has gotten quite dry it is looking quite healthy while everything else wilts.

That looks like a yucca filamentosa.

I hope you are hit with water restrictions. Talk about an arrogant yard.

With Lake Michigan as our water supply that will never happen.  It's okay to admit you're jealous.

The smoke is back here. Just gross.

Lol look at that thing

Trollhaugen in Dresser WI saves a pile of snow under straw and tarps all summer for an early October event each year. I’m always surprised they are able to save anything. 

[mention=13722]hardypalmguy[/mention] water bill is gonna be through the roof trying to keep his palms hydrated...

Might just need to plant California Fan Palms.

cools off late period

Thought it was just my 2009 Corolla because I don't really care how it looks anymore, but I realized this morning that every car left outside has a grubby, dusty film all over it from the combination of prolonged dryness, air quality issues and construction zones everywhere. I ran the windshield sprayers to clear it out of my view and the fluid ran down black and streaked when the wipers hit it.
