Spartman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Garbage pattern over the next week as we'll get to have an Omega Block to close out the month.https://weather.com/2026/05/22/forecast/national/omega-block-pattern-flood-threat-temperature-flip 18z GFS: 12z Euro: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 HRRR and NAM bring 1-2” of rain to my backyard Sunday morning. Would be much appreciated if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Got 2.65" of rain this morning. Now at 8.63" for the month, currently the 3rd wettest May on record. The record is 9.05" in May 1995. With some more rain on the way through the upcoming week, might as well just go for broke. Top 5 Wettest Mays (DAY): 1. 9.05" - 1995 2. 9.01" - 1938 3. 8.63" - 2026 (as of 5/23) 4. 8.55" - 1989 5. 8.40" - 1990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Heat cranks up today. Probably will run my A/C for the first time this year in the next week or so. Hoping to score a thundershower for some of that precipitation stuff we always seem in need of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Got grazed here on the extreme west side of the overnight event, and picked up a much appreciated 0.69". None of the models showed it this far west so a very nice surprise indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Cool Lake breeze kicking in keeping temps subdued along the shore. Typical shore wx when temps are rising inland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 First 80 of the season, and about as warm as I like it. When it comes to heat I’m a puss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I will take this Omega block for as long as it, well, can block lol. I'm not going to complain about roughly 75/55 days ever. Absolutely perfect weather. Maybe snoozefest but man will this be a nice 10 day stretch if it holds. One of the best Spring stretches in many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 86 here today, but with a nice breeze and upper 40s dews it was pretty nice. Won't be long and we'll be battling the 80+ degree dews. The corn is a growin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Couldn’t have drawn up Memorial Day weather any better, 83 and sunny with absolutely zero wind. Summer is on our doorstep and a fascinating one looms with a lurking potential super El Niño. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Hot Memorial Day in Minneapolis under the influence of the ridge, 86 with the dew point creeping into the low 60s. Point had a forecast high of 88 so I’ll take the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Hot day inland with mid 80's yesterday with upper 50's-low 60's near shore. Stms up N produced a good one with a strong hail sig around the Finland/Isabella area down over the Lake. Looks to be about the same today with temps, although a little warmer imby this morning. Was out catching rays this morning while temps hover around 70. Lake breeze not as chilly at my place as it was yesterday. Looks like scattered stms just S of me today.

Persistent 80s/90s will not be hard to come by with this look. I can agree with the pattern not being accommodating to severe weather though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Stiff Lake wind today keeping temps upper 50's to low 60's. 70's/low 80's well inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, this looks like a warm start to meteorological summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Beautiful day with a noontime high of 70. Lake breeze pushed just far enough inland to drop the temp here to 61 under full sun @5pm. Could stay like this all summer long as far as I'm concerned but 60's are not conducive to productive pepper plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 First 90 degree day of the year here today with 93. Sterling hit 92, DVN 90. EDIT: Sterling hit 93 as well between the hourly obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
