hawkeye_wx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The MCS moving across Iowa overnight was stratiforming out and wasn't impressive at all for most areas, but I was in just the right spot along the MCV path. I got about 0.80" of rain in ten minutes and ended up with another 1.15", my third 1+" rain in four days. DVN's afternoon shift really hyped up this morning's action as a possible major flash flood event, but that was a total bust. Most areas just got some light to moderate rain.

wisconsinwx Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Probably the heaviest rain I've experienced this year so far, water just piling off the roof in addition to impressive lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 The rain keeps on training through, wouldn't doubt a quick 2" of a heavy duty soaker comes out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The radar looks pretty interesting, with the comma head in NW Illinois resembling a low pressure center, the line of showers/t'storms stretching into MI resembling a warm front and the line of shows stretch south into IL/MO resembling a cold front.

Geos Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Have some t-storms last night that woke me up. Didn't get a lot of rain though. Warm front is just coming through. Up to 63° with skies lighting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Been in the 40 & 50's here except for an hr sunday and then it was back down to lower 50's in the afternoon since last wed at 11am... Today's rain will put us around 11" for the last 2 months. Couple warm days and then around normal and below for a bit.. GFS fantasy land going out to near mid June now and days will ever so slowly be getting shorter not too long after.. sweeet. Grass is growing silly fast and hard to find times to cut it when dry enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is growing silly fast and hard to find times to cut it when dry enough. As typical as it is to see 40s and 50s in spring here, it is hard to believe that with all the rain we have seen, I think it's only been above 60 or 65 once for those rain events (last Monday evening I think).

Geos Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Humid today, but much nicer over yesterday. Temperature rising fast - up to 75°. 0.14" of rain this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Humid today, but much nicer over yesterday. Temperature rising fast - up to 75°. Yep, most humid it has probably been at this time of day, especially considering it hasn't hit 70 yet. Temp rose into the mid 60s even with solid overcast. If the warm front could bump north just a tad more than expected, perhaps the atmosphere will reload for more convection tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Still stuck around 60F here, but its been dry now for a few hours and all the streets are dry, so that helps. Sun almost looks like it wants to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Saw the sun finally tonite..for about 20 minutes. Morels have been insane this year, by what i was hearing over the weekend. Several people i know in Wisconsin and across the river in MN had picked 10+ pounds of them in the last few days... all this rain obviously is helping them pop...

daddylonglegs Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Still have no idea when the warm front moves through here..now NWS thinks we stay dry for awhile longer because the warm front has drifted back south... more upper 50Fs/low60fs tomorrow? stay tuned!

Geos Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You'll get some warmer air sooner or later DLL. Just got down with about a 15 minute downpour here. 71/68 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 You'll get some warmer air sooner or later DLL. Just got down with about a 15 minute downpour here. 71/68 right now. Even though I'm sure it's frustrating for DLL to not have the warmth making it there yet, I look at places like Boston facing three straight days of 90+ at the end of the week with dry weather and I'm reminded how at least we aren't facing the persistent dry heat of last summer. 90s in May here would be almost out of the question, though it happens once in awhile. I'm pretty sure we haven't seen consecutive 90 degree days in May though (which Boston most likely will the final two days of the month). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have a feeling fog is going to be a problem overnight. Temp and dew point spreads are already small and winds a very light around the area. UES and MRJ are at 1/2 and 1/4 mile respectively at this hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thought it might be uncomfortable sleeping weather tonight but easterly flow is dropping temps pretty efficiently near the lake. MKE's temps are busting big time versus the low 60s expected. 53F at the midnight observation there. Looks like Chicago still getting some scattered t'storms in the area.

Geos Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Quite warm and humid here still. Southerly breezes still in control. House stayed pretty cool today with the cloud cover. Now tomorrow night it might be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
