Can definitely tell where the heavy rains have resided over the past several weeks by this map.
-
31 here this morning. Looking like 26-28 tonight. Most of the trees have leafed out, some quite a bit. Not sure how bad this hard freeze will be on them.
-
What a difference a day makes. At this time yesterday it was already 70/62 with a ripping southeast wind. Today at the same time it's 39 with a wind chill of 27.
-
Wow, it's like a whole different world up there. Nice vid. Finished with 0.78" rain for the day here. That brings April up to a healthy 6.68", and 7.09" since March 31st.
-
The lightning has been pretty wicked the past hour or so back here in the trailing anvil rain. Lots of multiple repeating ultra bright flashes, followed by super long rumbles of thunder occasionally shaking the house.
-
That is a huge tornado warning polygon south of Kankakee.
-
Torrential downpour put out 1/3 inch in less than 3 minutes. Just absolutely puked rain. Didn't get too much wind, zero hail. 0.56" and counting, but mostly over.
-
Luckily for this area the storms are outflow dominant and pretty wimpy in the part of the line coming through here now. Dodged a bullet.
-
DVN gusting to 67mph. Thunder is getting louder here.
-
Got the lawn's first haircut done this afternoon. Now let's do this.
-
We're either drowing or droughting. Not much in between it seems lately.
-
Another 0.66" this evening brings the total for today to 1.32", and 5.56" for April. Have had 5.97" since the last day of March. EDIT: Another 0.34" overnight brings April to 5.90".
-
A couple of bird fart tors may have dropped southwest of the QC over the past half hour.
-
Not surprised that there's a tornado warning north of Dixon. Those showers moved over here an hour or so ago and even when they were weak you could see everything had nice blocky bases. LCLs are pretty low in northern IL as well.
-
Managed to scrounge up 0.54" from the early morning elevated leftovers. Brings April up to 4.78". Today/this evening has been looking like our best shot for heavy rains all along, and still looks that way.
-
lol at SPC maintaining 10% tor probs in this area with the 8pm update while simultaneously the nader watch got dropped.
-
Snoozefest for QCA as expected. May get some late night sloppy seconds as llj ramps up.
-
QC area and here will likely be saved by the cap.
-
Looks like storms will mostly stay north and east today like yesterday. We'll give it another shot tomorrow with that next round.
-
Nice tennis ball/baseball hailer south of Minneapolis this afternoon.
-
Picked up 0.01" as storms crapped out on the doorstep. New ones fired just east. More storm ops on the way though.
-
best climo?
-
Wussy light rains here today totaling 0.13". Tomorrow the rains will miss north and east, but later Tuesday the better rain chances return.
-
Have a shot at our first 70 degree dew Tue or Wed. This would be less than a month after the blizzard on March 16th.
-
Last coolish day before several warm and humid days coming in. Low temps will hold in the 60s for several nights. Awaiting a dying Iowa blob of anvil rains this afternoon.
