Hoosier Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Struggling to get out of the mid 40s with some rain. I've seen worse at this time of year but this ranks up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck. I thought that I had it bad here at 58. The wife just got back from Central Indiana, crossing the warm front. She said it went from swamp-a$$ air there to feeling chilly here. I"m looking forward to seeing if we can get anything to spin up along that front tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine it getting much worse than today at this time of yr. Maybe May of 2002 in my memory. Brutal fishing in Mid-may. High of 44 today at midnight. WC below 35.

Dam that sure was a Ugly week up-north... 4 days in a row of highs in the 40's in Milwaukee starting the 17th like you mentioned. 44, 46, 48 and 44 on May 20th Then we torched - lots of 90's in June. What did you have in May of 92? I graduated that May. I remember it being cool. 44 on the 24th and 46 the day after. This is def one of the top if not the ****tiest wx day alive on this date - or any time in may after the first week for that matter And I'm pretty old.

cyclone77 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Picked up 0.44" from the morning rains. Temp hasn't broken 50 this afternoon. High of 59 was at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 High of 43 today. Felt ok earlier before the clouds thickened. Certainly felt better than yesterdays snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Quite the front draped just north of I-70 apparently. Didn't know there was such a strong gradient across the sub. 84/66 for the day with lots of rain in a few rounds of storms. 1.71" since midnight.

Pretty similar. Just a few degrees warmer. 92 was screwed up after Pinatubo erupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire "warm season" of '92 was an unmitigated disaster. Only 2009 has come the closest to being as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 At least it does look to warm back up in time for Memorial Day. In fact, the 12z GFS really puts the kibosh on the extent of the cold snap this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 45 and drizzle. At least it's still March 20th, hopefully the rest of spring is warmer. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I suspected would happen, you don't get an upper low to lock in for 10 days in a progressive pattern. That is a pipe dream for those who want miserable cold weather.

UMB WX Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This nice cool month will ensure we get a nice cooler by the lake start to summer Hell its almost June even the garbage days are decent. Nobody nailed this month and if you say you did - lol. Ups and downs will continue as long as we keep the low train going and its been going here since last fall and for once have a little surplus of moisture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Picked up 0.68" from this morning's rains. Up to 3.33" for the month. It's been a cool day with the heavy clouds/east winds/constant drizzle. Temps are starting to rise now as the warm front is approaching. 57 now, and have a legit shot at breaking 70 in a few hours when the sun emerges. May even be a few decent storms around later. EDIT: Parts of central Nebraska have been dealing with snow today. A few inches fell near Mullen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 75/68 and partly sunny here after mid day t storms in the Indpls area as I watch moisture advection from EVV area moving ne to see if it can produce any svr wx locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The miserable cold much of the day is now history. Temp/dew has jumped up to 65/62, and the sun is out. Substantial difference in how the air feels compared to the upper 40s/low 50s with the cold rain/drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 ^Nice. Yeah it's up to 68/63 here now. Hardly a cloud in the sky. Had to shoot a time lapse of the warm frontal passage. Probably won't be that interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Here's that time lapse of the warm front passing through. Sure was a dramatic change going from the low 50s with all that grunge, to sunshine and much warmer temps/dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Remember when it was going to be below normal the rest of the month... Quote Conditions look more unsettled during the Tue-Wed periods, as the closed low fractures with a sizable piece of this energy then digging southeast into the region. Reasonable model consensus in the pattern evolution, but with differences in timing/details yet to resolve. A general increase in cva should lead to periodic showers, with some renewed moisture advection and increasing mid level lapse rates also yielding weak instability and the possibility of embedded thunder /particularly Tuesday/. Temperature trends remain somewhat flat, with any advective process largely holding neutral. This will retain a temperature profile is simply defined as seasonable for late May. and by Thursday and especially into Friday temps climb back above normal.

Hoosier Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I guess the question is what's going to win out over the next 10 days. I'm still not sure it won't average below normal for most areas, even with some above average days thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then Thursday and especially Friday will be in the 70s for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 This is the third straight day with significant time spent in the 40s. The avg high temp is in the 70s. Even moderately below avg weather would be a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
