Hoosier Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Point forecast calling for 88 on Monday. Would be the warmest day here since September 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Rain/drizzle all day...about an inch so far... Amazing how green it is. Plants really taking off from this moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Has made it up to 61° with partial sun in the last couple hours. Lake influence still really evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hit 81 before the clouds thickened up. Had a brief shower a little while ago but it wasn't measurable. Dew has crept up over 60 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Don't worry about it. LAF isn't making it to 80 tomorrow without godly intervention. Made it to 80 here before the clouds took over. A higher power must be watching over the LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 A higher power must be watching over the LAF. Actually made it to 81 and the rain skirted around the airport. All in all a good day for warmth/dry mongers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Gonna be close, but you should make 80 again today. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday look to be a lock, Wednesday looks iffy, then you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Doesn't get much more exciting than hoping/rooting for intra-hour 80º high temps in mid May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 How about wondering how long this nice stretch of weather will continue? There have only been a couple of warm days and a couple of cool days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 In hindsight, it is kind of funny how we essentially skipped from Winter to Summer once May came along. That's a good thing though. The agriculture didn't really have to suffer this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Today was the 3rd consecutive 80 degree temp here. Since 1888, there have been 43 streaks of at least 7 days with 80+ degree temps in the LAF area (using COOP records from 1888 to 1963, airport records thereafter) in the month of May. Streaks that start late in May have an obvious climo advantage and to keep things short, I'll just list the streaks that began on or before May 14, which is when this year's streak began. Dates/# of Days May 13-June 1, 1977: 20 May 13-May 26, 1962: 14 April 29-May 10, 1895: 12 May 11-May 22, 1944: 12 May 3-May 13, 1896: 11 May 11-May 20, 1982: 10 May 2-May 10, 1934: 9 April 26-May 3, 1899: 8 May 14-May 21, 1911: 8 May 4-May 11, 1930: 8 May 10-May 17, 1991: 8 May 13-May 20, 1998: 8 May 13-May 19, 1903: 7 May 6-May 12, 1993: 7 If it can survive the next couple days, which is a big question, then shouldn't have a problem getting past a week. This one is ovah. Hasn't rained at LAF in forever though, and doesn't look like it will again for quite awhile, so you got that "streak" going for you.

Powerball Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If full sunshine is realized tomorrow (and the winds managed to shift more westerly), Detroit has an outside chance of hitting 90*F tomorrow. Also, This will be Detroit's longest streak of 80*F+ weather for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 First 90º temp of the year at LAF likely tomorrow. May running well above normal, +2.2º through yesterday. And will go higher this week. Very dry month, running -1.56" so far. Only 0.81" total in the last 21 days, including today. Not expecting much relief anytime soon. Total run QPF for LAF from the 6z GFS is 0.60". Trend is Hoosier's friend. Hot and dry odds for this upcoming summer in the LAF looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This one is ovah. Hasn't rained at LAF in forever though, and doesn't look like it will again for quite awhile, so you got that "streak" going for you. If we make it through the upcoming stretch without really heavy stuff (like 2-3" amounts) then I'm quite confident that the month finishes drier than average as the large scale pattern looks to favor dry conditions until possibly the end of the month. Could be quite a turnaround from April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Dewpoint is up to 69 here, highest of the year, but a lot of clouds have kept our temp in the mid 70s so far. I didn't get much from the line of storms early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
