Cool and breezy day with lots of clouds.  Temps haven't made it out of the low 50s.  On the plus side it's sort of nice that the wind is taking care of the bug problem.  No mosquitoes or gnats today lol.

I haven't seen any mosquitoes or gnats yet this year.

Picked up 0.12" from some passing showers today.  Other than the rain it was a decent day, albeit kind of cloudy.

Some cold-air funnels have been spotted around the area this afternoon.

Interesting.  Looked like a brief landspout type touchdown.  Interesting how the debris signature shows up a few scans later east of where it was reported to have touched down.  That's 3 tornadoes within 10 miles of us since early March.  They're closing in on us lol.  Luckily they've all been very wimpy relatively speaking.

It has been just a hair below normal. 

Well obviously, one's opinion of a month can be formed based on lot more than just the average temperature.

Besides the fact that it's below normal temperature-wise, it's been a cloudier month than normal, there's been a below number of days with t'storms (never mind severe weather), above average rainfall and the only days with a positive departure greater than 5*C were the days with temps in the upper 80s.

Upper 70's are so much nicer anyhow. 

Flip side of the coin, in the winter I'm more happy at 25F than I am at 5F.

Agreed, hot weather does suck.

mid 70s to low 80s with low humidity is perfect though.

The morning MCS dried up over central Iowa, but the remnant disturbance re-fired this evening and dropped another 0.30" on my yard.  I've received measurable rain on 8 of the last 11 days.  We aren't getting a ton of rain (4.53" in May), but we can't shake the constant clouds and dampness.
