Geos Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Getting nice and summer like outside today. 78°/62° currently in Racine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It definitely feels warm out there, especially since a lot of our warm days this year weren't as sunny as this one. It was only 74F when I got back from Collectivo Coffee an hour or so ago, but in the sun it felt like 80F or 85F. Luckily, near perfect weather the rest of the week and the weekend. Looks like Milwaukee is going to be on the northern fringe of today's convection, hoping for at least a rogue shower or storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 12z models say sustained warmth is on the way Models have been consistent with the potential of hot and sticky weather with periodic convective episodes for several runs now. Going to jump from cold to hot without much in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to jump from cold to hot without much in between. This week for much of the forum is the in between, along with last weekend. Happens often enough though.

wisconsinwx Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Currently 57/50 at MKE thanks to the lake breeze. Meanwhile, it's still 85F at Madison. I guess I might as well enjoy the pleasant evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 What looked to be an active night of storms in this area turned out to be a dud. Storms trained to the north all night leaving the I-80 corridor in this area high and dry. Looks like things skip over us tonight and refire just to the south and east tomorrow.

hawkeye_wx Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I got a nice storm last night. The hail core had dissipated by the time the storm reached CR, but there was plenty of lightning(no big cracks) and I picked up 1.33" of rain. We had been getting left out a bit by recent systems so a nice soaking was welcome. I'm glad the storms initially trained north of us because they were dumping a lot of large hail and I did not want my newly-planted garden to get trashed.

Geos Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 0.90" of rain here from last night's storms. Drove through a pocket of dense fog that seemed to come out of nowhere on the northside of Kenosha. Only area like that. Kind of weird that it is not foggy by the lake here in Racine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 getting some sun now Is the temperature at Northerly Island representative of where you're at? I'm heading to the game at Wrigley soon and trying to figure out if I should pack a sweatshirt just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm heading to the game at Wrigley soon and trying to figure out if I should pack a sweatshirt just in case. I was out at 3:30 am and it was toasty, dropped down into the 50s by 6:30...it's heading back up now as NE winds slacken some. Light sweatshirt would be a decent idea if your seats on in the shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
