Went out for a run today today from Wheaton towards Chicago; on the way out we passed a flooded parking lot with a single car in it, whose owner was frantically trying to figure out what to do, given that his car was standing in about a yard of water. on the way back, only the car remained, but by then only the top eight inches or so of it were visible. it was a smaller sedan but still, I've never seen anything like it. Must suck for the owner.

cloudy and damp with light rain the next two days will prevent  any real soil moisture recovery

 

..then only a few days of true drying out before the possible weekend rains and wetter pattern 

 

 

 

Even in the long range, looks like the second half of this May is going to be a washout.

some heavy rainfall rates over North Central IL between PNT, Lasalle and PIA

.5 up to 1 inch per hour on the small cells out of LOT

 

There seem to be a spoke of storms along the south side that may turn NE into the hard hit areas

already convection increasing over hard hit  Livingston county

 

low is just NW of PNT....with an almost deformation zone on the west side

Went looking for brook trout yesterday and all I got was this stupid sunset. Glad all the rain and weather passed south but wow the north wind has been stout!

Chicago broke the May precip record, with almost 2 weeks left in the month.  8.41" and counting.

our basement laundry area is taking on water worse than i can remember in a decade or so in this building

Might as well go for double digits and Alek won't have any clean clothes to wear until June.

Only 59 for a high here today due to the persistent heavy overcast/drizzle.  DVN only made it to 58.  We're less than 2 weeks from June.  What is this, the UP? :P

At ORD, the normal high for today is still only 71, and at MKE it’s only 66. Highs at MKE yesterday and today were only 54 and 53, respectively.  

I know you’re further west...but the great lakes influence doesn’t really go away here until early June, at which point average highs at ORD are more in line with areas in the Midwest away from the lakes.

Just last year, ORD had the following high temps in May:

53 on May 11th

52 on May 12th

57 on May 20th

54 on May 21st

And in May 2018, even with the hot end of the month, ORD had highs of 52, 50, 55 on May 11th, 12th, and 20th respectively. 

The point is that May days can be quite chilly around here, compared to what many “expect”.
