Dayton overperformed to at least 87 today for those keeping score at home

jeez, 98 in INL today.  Broke their record by at least 6 degrees

93 in MKE, a new daily record

MKE hit 90.  MSN with a max of 87 so far

that's it, Hoosier has to officially pass his Mod position to NorthIllinois

already up to 82 at noon, could try to snag an upper 80s today before the real heat starts tomorrow

gonna get a whole lot worse the way june is looking to play out

Unlike June 2012 it looks like we will get chances of precip every few days though not high in coverage or amounts

but not a great year to be starting a lawn at my house. 

inb4 you relentless troll me for suburban living.

Dews mixed down to 35 today.   With warmer temps upstairs tomorrow we should be off to the races.   Point has 83 but I wouldn’t be surprised with temps above 85

there are lots of bad takes over the past month and I'm fully prepared to bump them all

The real screw zone is imby and you can’t convince me otherwise 

still no severe thunderstorm, tornado or flash flood warnings issue by MKX.

This chart reaffirms the perception in my memory that 2008 was awesome. Unfortunately I was 22, just out of college, and didn't have the financial resources to chase.

I was surprised to see 2006 so high, since that is almost universally reviled as an awful chase season. Your post explains things, guessing that was the outbreaks on 3/12 and 4/2 responsible for most of those?

Number of severe warnings doesn't really line up with chaseability.   A lot of those warnings probably come from overnight MCS.

It’s not continuing. Despite your wishes otherwise, the pandemics over. 

This guy is right, time to shut this thread down.  There's been nothing of value posted in the last three pages

36 degrees this AM, below the forecasted low.  No frost advisory, either, but I see frost on cars and on the ground.  I hope I didn’t just lose my tomatoes and watermelons...

May have lost a tomato plant here but everything else looks good.  I had thought about frost potential but when going to be we were 8 degrees warmer than the same time last night so I thought we’d be ok

Do you guys think it might be worth it to take a jog an hour or two south and see if I can catch any development or nah?

Drive 4 hours north and catch some snow.

going to be a not so good 48 hour stretch starting tomorrow morning.   two cold rainy days with temps in the 40s and a serious frost potential friday night

only a couple hundredths here.  need this upcoming soaker to keep holding off the drought

Less than a month to the solstice and the sun angle starts the descent to its minima.

almost time to get the snow machine cranking again

Madison had 6 70 degree days during the same stretch.  Pretty crazy

Cedar Rapids hit 87º on May 1st and 85º on May 2nd.  CR officially just hit 70º for the first time since May 2nd.  Two 70+ days from May 1-18 is the least number since 1945.

I read that some independent studies have shown up to 80% effectiveness after getting the first covid vaccine. Maybe I should just stick with one and not get the 2nd one.

the boost in protection and long lasting antibodies is well worth any illness you feel after the second shot.   It's also far from guaranteed that you will feel bad after the second shot, some just get a sore arm and feel tired.

definitely think there will be a few severe chances in the upper midwest over the next week

only got down to 36 here this morning.   No frost that I could see

And I am perplexed as to why the deep Southern states continue to get wave after wave of svr storms when I would have thought as we approach mid May the Plains and Midwest would become more active as is usually the case.

There is a large trough over the central US right now that is pushing the jet stream to the south making Texas and the SE the preferential spot for storms
