I count at least 8 severe t-storm warnings and two tornado warnings now in the region.


 


Getting pretty dark to the west and southwest here.


 


Edit: Thundering now.

It better not frost. I have all my annuals in now, along with everyone else in the area.

I see the coldest low is 40° on Friday.

 

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday look like the pits though.

 

Severe t-storm warning just extended to the lakefront. Hopefully the boaters take notice.

look at that bow, wow

 

This storm system has been impressive.

 

With these kinds of temperatures tomorrow, I would bet something similar happening further east.

The system cutting up the lower lakes on Wed/Thu is really tugging down some chilly air on the 12z Euro.  Thu/Fri just look nasty in N IL/S WI and all of MI.  Certainly going to be a shock to the system after the summer time warmth this past week.

Final 2 weeks of May look warm finally.  If everything sets up right, this month will break the below normal regime  and end up above normal for a change  Think its about time to head back to Chicago next week and hope the Hawks go deep into the Playoffs!

Had to duck into the basement while at work in Racine. Nothing severe about the storm though once it got into the city. Just a bunch of heavy rain and lightning. 

 

Now... getting some moderate rain and home with rolling thunder. The best!

 

Storm that rolled into Kenosha and Racine tonight. (The one with the tor warning.)

My storm total was 2.28". Didnt get any severe weather.

 

Pretty good total. Safe to say there's no chance of drought any time this month.

 

1.66" here as of 9:30. Getting back into the heavy rain now. Backyard ponding is overflowing onto the neighbors yard tonight!

Only 0.86" of rain here over the two days.  This is after only getting 0.14" from the last big system.  There was also no severe weather again, which is nothing new.  We've been in a real severe drought for 3-5 years.

 

I have fallen behind with my garden planting.  When the weather was pleasant early in the weekend I was busy buying plants and doing other stuff.  When I wanted to get everything planted later in the weekend it rained.  Now I have to worry about frost later in the week, especially in the nearby open green space where I'll be planting several tropical cannas.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

You plant potatoes in your garden? I'm really behind, I haven't gotten those in the ground yet. I'm not to worried about the other items quiet yet but I should have had potatoes in two weeks ago!

No potatoes.  Most of the stuff I need to plant are salvias and cupheas for hummingbirds.  I do have a few pepper plants to go in as well.
