    It's easy to see who has been dumped on and who hasn't over the last month or two. Chicago through Michigan has been bulls-eyed. Many of the rest of of us, not so much. There is certainly no drought, but some widespread MCS action from the plains into MN/IA would be nice.

    I know you guys in Illinois have gotten walloped by rain systems this spring, but we haven't. We could use a good soaker today. A week from now, when Cristobal lifts through the central US, we will really need a soaker.

    I hope the remnants of Cristobal can track northward enough to drop some good rain here. It's too rare. You guys farther east in the subforum get this kind of thing much more often. The GFS brings it up across Iowa, but the Euro veers it east into the Ohio Valley/eastern Lakes.

    It could get rather dry around here by next week. We've already received below avg May precip. Now the Euro keeps spitting out bone dry runs.

    As has been the case all spring, I missed out on the heavy stuff today. I only picked up 0.27" of rain. This follows 0.03" yesterday, 0.05" Tuesday, and 0.16" Monday. For the entire week of rain I only reached 0.91". I'm going to finish May with 3.14".

    Next week is looking hot and humid over here. While the northeast US gets stuck under another cool trough, a strong ridge builds into the central US.

    Today was Cedar Rapids' first 80º day as well.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    O'Hare is now 90º.

    I picked up another few tenths (0.40") today. That has been the story this spring... a few tenths at a time.

    All the surrounding personal stations show upper 70s to low 80s.

    Not surprisingly, DVN lowered our high by 5 degrees, to 68º. The endless conveyor of dense clouds from the east is depressing. It's normal to get a day or two of this, but not six. There are at least a few breaks in the clouds trying to pop across the region. Maybe we can get lucky and see a bit of sun later.

    What a dreadful week. The dense cloud shield puts a low-60s cap on our temp. DVN says 73º here tomorrow, but I'll believe it when I see it.

    It appears a wet pattern may be setting up from Texas up through the western subforum region. At least it will finally be warm. I'm really craving some thunderstorms.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    Good show.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    This weather pattern SUCKS!!! I've had enough of this cold crap. I should not have to be wearing my winter coat within two weeks of June. Models badly underforecasted this big cutoff low. The NWS is talking about the cloud shield holding over the region through at least Thursday, if not Friday. Ugh.

    Last week, models were showing 80º here by today. Instead, we are hoping to exceed the low 60s.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    Models last week had today in the low 70s. Instead, we have mid 50s and drizzle. The GFS keeps us in the 60s all week because of the cool pool aloft. The avg high is in the low to mid 70s now.

    Earlier today, Amphan was tracking more northward, well east of the Euro, but the track has been nnw for the last several hours.

    Much of the heavy rain this month has developed east of me. My May total is only 2.04" after 0.58" overnight. I have not had a single 1"-in-24-hr rain event this year.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    How's this for a 5-day trend for next Thursday?
  21. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro and UK now take the Bay of Bengal system a bit farther west, at least scraping the Indian coast with the center. The GFS still has a n/nne track into Bangladesh.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Saturday appeared to be a bit of a washout here. Now, the HRRR and NAM don't bring rain in here until around midnight.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I don't think northern Maine is tornado territory.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro now has the cool pool from the eastern cutoff low dominating the subforum region through next week. The 80s and humidity are gone, even for Iowa. Now it's low 70s with 50s dews.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    Models are showing a powerful cyclone hitting the northern Bay of Bengal coast next week. There has not been one in that area in quite a long time. That area used to be ground zero for huge death totals back in the 20th century.
