Looks like widespread mid-upper 90s later next week and beyond.  Likely will top 100 here later next week/next weekend.  Any rain keeps getting put off till day 10 lol.

lol, what a weird summer

Gradient is sharp. I am caught right in the middle with low 80's each day. 

If we were not in a drought, this would be top tier climo here. Day after day of sunny and low 80's.

.02”. Drought cancel

The 3km was showing decent rains earlier yesterday, but has since backed off.  I'm going with 0.00-0.10" for here.  Anything less than an inch is pretty much worthless anyway at this point.  Need a good 2-3"+ soaker which obv ain't happening.  

 

Quite an I-88 screw hole there

It's the 4th consecutive May without a violent tornado

There was not a single report of wind, hail, or tornado in New York or Pennsylvania in May

Working in the property insurance industry, I can confirm there are exactly zero happy little insurance companies right now. 

Backed my way into a half inch today as storms crawled and pulsed overhead 

From LOT's morning AFD

In fact, if no rain falls within the next 6
days, May 2023 will be the 2nd driest on record in Chicago beyond
1992 when 0.30" of rain fell.

With .04" and no rain in the forecast for the extended, time to dust off this puppy.

I noticed that Ohio & Indiana use a asphalt/gravel road composition for some rural roads. This road type you just don't see used in Michigan. We seem to be left with dirt.

This is a typical Ohio rural road situation. You can see where the more privative low traffic asphalt meets a different texture/higher traffic asphalt mix. In Michigan the roadway on the right would be asphalt and a skirt would extend about 20 feet onto the left roadway, then it would transition to dirt. 

These both almost look like chipseal, just one newer than the other.

I think the blue line is done for the season

Yep, paid our dues for that early season stretch of 80's. No hitting the gas straight towards Best Climo

hard to believe that's the same state, wild

 

 

ISP stating they are starting reconstruction, sounding like multiple casualties. Doesn't help that 55 through that area is flat, straight, and basically an 85+ mph drag strip. 

Wind has created full blown dust storm conditions with aa 100 car pile up closing 55 south of Springfield. 

Got down to 26 last night.

I’m pretty sure Chicago has seen flakes as late as early June, so this is hardly unusual.

Latest snow is May 25 I believe.

Up near Volo in Lake County after skies cleared a bit. Also one taken in Richmond IL

 

Light pollution typically sucks too much for me to even see much, but the clouds did not clear before I called it a night last night.

Rain, sleet, freezing rain and lots of fog today.   High reached 35.  Still plenty of snow otg despite a week in the 70's and even 80.  What a snowpack this year. 

As much as I envy you in the dead of winter, this shit would blow in spring. 

Tornado warning directly over peoria
