SchaumburgStormer Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Lots of issues in central IL with "dust outs". Saw a video of a vehicle on the interstate and you could not see the other direction of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This upcoming cold front reminds me a bit of what happened in May 1992. Toronto went from a high of 86 on the 23rd to a high of 52 on the 24th. This won't be quite as extreme as that, admittedly - the morning low on May 25th, 1992 was 32!

Powerball Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Pretty impressive, albeit annoying temperature gradient could set up between here and areas along the OH/IN border on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 CLE with both a record high, 90, and a record low max, 70, yesterday. Average temp of 80 is quite impressive for May 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda makes me sick seeing 850's at 0-5°c for nearly 5 days straight though. Bring on some warmth less the rain and 50° days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe how many tractors I saw out in the fields during that. Many are still rushing to get the crops in due to all the rain in past weeks. I think a lot of farmers around here lost some top soil yesterday, and it's probably up in Wisconsin about now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about departures most of the month already has happened. I care about what is coming. The predominate pattern for the rest of the month is troughing and yes, there will be 60's.

weatherbo Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 38 with wrap around rain this morning...1.5" so far. It's definitely a raw out and no temp in the forecast above the mid-50's for the next week or longer. Give me warm and wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 It looks like the lows at DET and DTW were 73°F and 72°F respectively. Now we're off to the races with full sunshine expected through at least the early afternoon hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the individual members, it is a couple of really cold members sinking the mean. Most are at normal and some above normal.

Torchageddon Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 My high overachieved for the 2nd time with 30ºC feeling like 35C early on. Yesterday was also the same and the first 30ºC reading of the year...about on schedule. This pattern I've noticed with the PMX engine values from The Weather Network is still 90% of the time true: take stock of what its showing 2 or 3 days before a given day but ignore the temp and condition 1 day before or the morning of IF its different by >2ºC either way from Days 2 or 3 before. It was showing 29ºC for both the last few days and then changed 1 day before to 26ºC and some condition that wasn't on point. No storms at all or rain. It was very windy in the early afternoon and early evening...dust clouds were being thrown up and pollen spores spread. These borderline cooler conditions that I hope ends up being just average climo wise, needs to pack it in because the best month of the year is now 12 days away.

IWXwx Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We had a couple of warned storms in the area last night, but the only real issue was a thin stripe of heavy rain across the northern part of our county. Only 0.11" here in town, but reports approaching 4" just north of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 impressive total.. Mosquito's in the MW are going to be thick as a GHD Sleet storm this summer What a difference a yr makes. Last summer - Zero Mosquito's and only cut the grass a handful of times after late spring. Cutting the grass every 3 days now. We drought last yr.

UMB WX Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yeah they will really be looking to latch on until it warms back up. What's it look like next weekend? To bad they can't move the Cub/Crew series to miller park today and tomorrow. 42 at noon. I liked it better when I was the rare warmest a few days back.
