2.86” of rain so far this week. Should get another round tonight before the pattern reloads over the weekend
-
Tied the record warm minimum yesterday. Should easily break it today. active stretch coming up starting tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it

Forecast was off. Imagine trying to predict tornadoes when the only info you got before convective initiation was when a trough hit the west coast

aurora actually arrived around 2 AM saturday night. the show was all but over by Sunday evening

FYI. For those not trolling, this is a time to really not pay attention to the GFS. Skill scores are some of the lowest I’ve ever seen for anything mid to long range

Was an amazing day out. Got up to 69 at the house. Rest of the week should be beautiful too - in the 60s and 70s

Spring 2025 Medium/Long Range Discussion
madwx replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
thinking things will trend drier and warmer over the next 10 days but definitely some cool days mixed in, especially this week. looking at a change to SW flow and more active conditions around the 15th which should last through the end of the month (this is tied to indian ocean convection which climatologically flares up around this time - hence late May being a classic tornado stretch for the plains) -
up to 0.79" this morning with more showers throughout the next 2 days.

2025 Short Range Severe Weather Discussion
madwx replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Storms were pretty intense this morning. Tons of cloud to ground lightning. Had 1” hail with the cells that formed behind the main bow -
I’ll give it a D. Had a pretty ok snowstorm in December. Had a couple bouts of snow centered around a week of deep winter in February that actually featured snow cover. One nice part was that it was sunnier than the average winter

Spring 2025 Medium/Long Range Discussion

the last 10 days of this month will be above average. also note that average temps are now pretty pleasant, so anything close to average will be 55 degrees or warmer -
Big bust. Just some sprinkles here but got much more sunshine than expected
