Had a very heavy period of snow in Dekalb, began to stick to the grass and rooftops before it ended. The winds also caused some minor damage, including knocking a stoplight off its post and causing it to dangle in the wind

Anyone catch this on the FV3 GFS?

Yeah, not likely, but a sign of the seasonal shift more than anything.

 

If this were to somehow pan out, going from the mid 80’s to snowflakes in 3 days would be a little scary lol 

3 rotating cells in Iowa, 2 currently warmed (may be 3 soon)...interesting

Sun is out in DKB and temp is 81. Forecasted high was only 77

That was a terrible watch issuance. One of the worst I've seen in years.

I don’t recall seeing a watch being issued for probabilities this low in a long time lol

So I just stumbled across this thread, I’m going to Northern IL University in a month for meteorology and I keep seeing things like this that really want to make me reconsider. I know this was posted 8 years ago so I’m sure things have changed but if anyone has any insight into this I’d love to hear it, giving myself some other options just Incase sounds like the best bet to me right now but I’d love to hear any advice anyone may have. 

Did anyone else see a bright green meteor in the western sky at 8:40 CDT? 

86/75 here with full sun at the moment, so that’s obviously a good sign as far as destabilization goes, didn’t expect to see much sun today 

Some severe storms near Peoria, including a tor warning.

Sky looking fairly dark to the south, so I checked radar and discovered there is a nice little bow that is warned about 35 miles away.

Produced a lot of marginally severe hail from central Iowa through Illinois. Surprised with how well it’s held together 

This chilly NE wind in May sucks  I’d pay money to have that front come back north 

A little humor from last nights euro..

Nothing worse than being sick while the weather is frigid in April...

Tell me about it. I don’t think I could think many things that’d be more miserable
