hoping it comes through 12 hours earlier so we can have some convective potential with it. models are trending that way

Have we ever had tropical remnants go sub 980 in the Lakes?

yeah 12z Euro has below zero 850 temps as far south as northern Illinois by next Friday morning. woof

Yeah it has a heavy snowstorm breaking out in western Ontario on the back side of the remnants

we don't drought like we used to

storms blowing up quickly NE of Rochester, much further east that any CAMs had storms developing at this hour

yeah its strange, even though we had a wet May we are teetering on the edge here. Some areas have flooded fields yet some areas already have cracks in the soil

v4 has precip extending further south which seems like a more realistic representation

it's pretty impressive to have temps in the upper 80s, dews in the upper 60s and not a single cloud in the sky

Many Americans have been unhappy for years. With the leadership gap at the top and the pandemic putting more pressure on the lower and middle class this was inevitable unfortunately.

Middle next week through the weekend is gonna be rockin'

Broke the record yesterday. Might make a run at precip today. Record is 1.86"

record warm min watch for Madison. It only got down to 71 here this morning, and the record is 70 set way back in 1875. Will be a close call later this evening.

dewpoint up to 58 here. Really feeling the humidity for the first time this year

Even with the filtered sunshine here about to tag 70 for the second day in a row. Wisconsin finally not socked in total cloud cover while Illinois is. Usually it is the other way around.

https://www.al.com/news/2020/05/montgomery-running-out-of-icu-beds-as-coronavirus-cases-double-in-may.html Summer won't save us if we don't keep up social distancing measures of no large gatherings and limited people in group indoor spaces.

should be a legitimate chance of severe weather Sat-Mon in the subforum

Full sun here this morning after days of cloud cover. Gonna be a beautiful day, even as clouds fill back in the afternoon.

It's a lot easier to get Gulf of Mexico moisture when the GOM is in your front yard.

hundreds of millions of years ago, the midwest was under a shallow sea. I always thought it would be cool to see what that would be like, what I didn't know is that I'd get to see it in my lifetime.

It's crazy how much wetter the 30 year climate means will be when the data set changes from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020 For MSN Jan 1.23" -> 1.46" Feb 1.45" -> 1.52" Mar 2.19" -> 2.26" Apr 3.40" -> 3.78" May 3.55" -> 4.02" (at least) Jun 4.54" -> 5.27" (estimated) Jul 4.18" -> 4.34" (estimated) Aug 4.26" -> 4.27" (estimated) Sep 3.13" -> 3.37" (estimated) Oct 2.40" -> 2.73" (estimated) Nov 2.39" -> 2.21" (estimated) Dec 1.75" -> 1.71" (estimated) Only December and November have seen slight decreases in precip and some months (Apr - Jun, Sep - Oct) have seen significant increases in precip.

It depends on how the shortwaves eject from the western trough but should have a few chances at thunderstorms starting Friday as well

We've got easterly winds throughout the depth of the troposphere. Not something you see every day.

Very efficient rain making. 0.92” here so far with 12+ hours of rain to go
