Widespread 30's and 40's for lows last night.  Cool spot was Spincich Lake at 35.  Northern lights were also visible in the northern sky after midnight and before clouds arrived.   Cool today in the mid 60's and even cooler tomorrow with a high around 54 forecast.  As much as I do enjoy the cooler temps, I am ready for some summer like weather.

Backyard is lush

Nice ferns 

Yup, blessed nuclear state, we need massive scale prairie restoration yesterday, corn/soy in Illinois is the worst

Looks active and warm, no death ridge in site 

industrial farming is such a disaster

Sometimes I catch myself hating on Illinois, but days like today remind me this state has its own natural beauty. Visited another preserve today, nice to put the phone away and not answer work emails. 

we're beyond blessed but state is ruined by industrial farming and mono-culture

hard to even imagine what the natural prairie must have looked like

blessed

not seeing any real heat on the gefs, gulf opens up and starts getting active so hopefully that juices our nw flow pattern later on

ready 2 ring of fire

living right

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.

Bust 

Nice garden variety soaker

gfs already shitting out fantasy range tropical systems in the gulf 

extended looks great
