Some of the models have bumped the heavier rains a little further north here in the DVN cwa for tonight. Looks like 1-2" of rain could be on the way for here/QC.

Been almost 2 months now since my 2nd dose of moderna (Mar 20). Haven't heard any news of a booster lately (not that I follow it as closely as most here lol). Guess that means a booster won't be needed at least within the first year?

Decent little soaker this morning; 0.54". Cool day with temps failing to make it out of the 50s. Hopefully the last day in the 50s till October.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ma nature's gonna make up for it by a single 150-170mph derecho somewhere in the sub in July or August.

Tropical Tidbits removed the HRW-NNM and replaced it with the FV3 hi-res. Wonder if it's the same model with a fancy new name?

Temp should easily hit 32 or colder here tonight. Should finally be the last freeze.

Finished with 1.68" of rain. Temp bottomed out at 37 so no flakes here.

Yeah you seem to be near ground zero for where that band sets up. It's down to 33 in Rochelle so I'm guessing there's some fatties mixing in there. If this system would have hit a month earlier we'd be looking at a fat band of 10"+ between I-80 and I-88. Down to 39 here with moderate rain. Up to 0.75".

Cold moderate rain and 40 here. Don't think we'll see any snow here. Up to 0.63" for the event with quite a bit more on the way.

This time last week that same area had temps in the low to mid 90s lol. Several ob sites in the 37-39 degree range in that area. Rain just started here.

First flakes this fall could be less than 5 months away.

Looks like the triple R is starting to back off the ridiculous snow output from previous runs. Shows over 2" of rain here. Ready 2b drowned.

One of my co-workers who tested positive back in January still doesn't have her sense of smell back. No other symptoms though. What a strange virus.

Yeah must have. Had several 30s, including a 33 but only one day (the 9th) AOB freezing (28 degrees).

The 00z Euro took a big jump north with the precip shield compared to many of it's previous cycles. The 1" total line jumped north about 50-75 miles compared to earlier runs. Looks like the wet snow potential is very real. If it happens here it will be well after midnight and before sunrise so I def won't be seeing any of it lol.

Down to 32 here and also at MLI. Over in LOT it's 27 in Sugar Grove with several upper 20s around. Looks like a freeze warning was warranted. Hopefully folks covered up their plants anyway with the frost advisories being issued etc. Looks like Mon and Tue may be as cold in some areas. I went back and looked at the weather station data. Didn't have any freezes after April 30th from 2016-2019, last year we had 1. This May we could have 3. EDIT: Now also looks like Wed morning also has freeze potential. 4 freezes in May? Wow

June will be rockin'

That's kind of the thinking here as well. We're only about 20 miles from Camanche Iowa where the infamous 1860 tornado blew through. No way to know for sure but that thing was surely EF3 and above. Haven't seen anything close to that in my lifetime in this area (luckily) but it can definitely happen.

Running a bit late but baby leaves on the new white oak have finally opened. This innocent looking little 5ft tree could still be standing and thriving 300-400 years from now if all goes well, it's a very long-living tree if allowed to thrive.

Looks like some frost and maybe freeze potential in the near future. Right now Saturday morning and Monday morning look the coldest for this particular area. I know a lot of peeps in this area have already planted some things, so good chance they'll be covering them up those nights.

Nice soaker today, picked up 0.64".

As per usual just head to Macomb and wait lol. That place has had the hot hand for years. Up this way we're socked in with clouds but still wouldn't be surprised if some low-end severe occurs. I'm wanting the rains more than anything.

85 here today, 86 at DVN. Hoping for a good storm tomorrow afternoon.

SPC is gonna need to stretch the marginal up into eastern IA/northern IL for tomorrow. CAMs have been pretty consistent in indicating decent convection over the area tomorrow afternoon/evening, with 1000-2000J/KG cape and respectable low-level wind shear.
