wisconsinwx Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 hawkeye_wx and wisconsinwx are kindred souls That is probably rare for him though to be coming up on the latter half of May without a severe storm. Milwaukee has been under three warnings this year (my part of the county anyways), Chicago has had at least two, and with Cedar Rapids' more favorable location well inland and closer to Tornado Alley, it would be expected to see a few more big storms.

Hoosier Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Haven't gotten acclimated to the warm/muggy stuff yet. I ran outside yesterday and was gassed after 3 miles. The numbers weren't that bad but it might as well have been 95/70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers weren't that bad but it might as well have been 95/70. That's how it is early in the season. Then in late June/early June, something like 85/62 actually feels comfortable.

Powerball Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Currently 85*F at DET and 84*F at DTW, with at least a couple more hours of sunshine to go. Record high for today is 89*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Haven't gotten acclimated to the warm/muggy stuff yet. I ran outside yesterday and was gassed after 3 miles. The numbers weren't that bad but it might as well have been 95/70. I played golf yesterday and didn't think it was really that muggy. It was actually a pretty nice day. Enough clouds and a stiff wind helped no doubt. Bottom line is that you're getting soft as you age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee has been under three warnings this year (my part of the county anyways), Chicago has had at least two, and with Cedar Rapids' more favorable location well inland and closer to Tornado Alley, it would be expected to see a few more big storms. A couple severe thunderstorm warnings and a tornado warning(brief spinup sw of Cedar Rapids) have been issued for me this spring, but I haven't seen anything severe at my house. I've seen a little pea size hail and a wind gust to about 50 mph, but it has mostly been garden variety stuff. There is still plenty of severe season left so I'm sure I'll get something good. The problem is from now on my garden will be full of growing plants and I won't want to see them damaged by hail or wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 How many time have I watched an area of low pressure track NE across the Ohio Valley and into Ontario the past 6 months.....Not looking forward to my cold rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So the high made it up to 87*F before the storms blew though, just 2 degrees shy of the record high. Still, that's way over what was forecasted (a high around 80*F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Although it's been a pretty nice day and I normally don't mind overcast too much, it just feels like one of those sluggish days. Temp has been stagnant for the last several hours, and after the last two active days, today has a totally different feel. Sun is trying to peek out now.

It's waking up I'd say. Frosted here until mid june last year. It would take a real hard freeze to ruin much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hit 87 today, felt great. Had some serious flooding about an hour south of here this morning. State of Emergency was issued for two towns. Some storms firing up all over the place, nothing severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take a real hard freeze to ruin much. That is crazy. Here in NYS we have quite a diverse last frost date. April 20th is around our last frost where I live being relatively close to Lake Erie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Fields are flooded near me. There is a specific low spot near my parents that has the most water I have seen there in 24 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies but typically I've found the adjustment period for me lasts anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say it was taxing. But my opinion was that I didn't think it was that bad for the first warm/humid day of the year. We'll agree to disagree.

Geos Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looks like the NAM is gearing this area up for more rain... 2.77" of rainfall, total in the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll agree to disagree. This was the first week we had dewpoints in the 60s and not far from 70 yesterday. It was fine just standing outside or not engaging in anything strenuous but any activity level above that takes a toll after a while when you're not acclimated.
