OmahaSnowFan Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Looks like Nebraska and Iowa is going to be too far north for any real severe threat unless things change/slow down, and even then a crashing cold front coming in from the almost due north is HORRIBLE for any real decent severe weather threat. Storms just constantly get undercut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 We had the closest thing to a cloud burst I’ve ever seen beginning around 9:30 pm it’s still raining and will go through much of the night. Unbelievable amount of rain in 45 mins. I’ll have a total in the morning if my gauge survived. This is going to be some year down here._____________________________ Update: ..... We received 2.75" in about 40 minutes. Just an amazing downpour. Solar Minimum is definitely at play here.

Andie Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I caught the story on the news, Tom, but this puts it in perspective. I understand Davenport does not have a heavy levy system. Being a sizable city, I asurprised. There certainly has been a lot of flooding up their way this winter and spring. Everything here is at capacity and lakes are doing controlled releasing. We're saturated. 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Tom Posted May 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 As blocking becomes more dominant across North America, I do anticipate a drier period the farther north you are across the Sub Forum (MW on north?). We will also enter a period during the LRC that wasn't as active and with strong HP bleeding its way into the middle of the nation mid-month, hopefully that will aid farmers to get out and plant or re-plant in some cases. The mid-month dry period won't last, however, and I expect another active period right around or just before the Memorial Day holiday. Hope everyone is enjoying the tranquil weather this weekend back home and across the board. Happy Cinco de Mayo celebrations! BTW, I'm a big time "foodie" and absolutely love Mexican food. Tacos and Guac all day....about to prep for a morning hike...adios! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Are we ever going to see warm weather? Wow. I’m ready for some 80s. Some humidity wouldn’t be bad either. Bring on summer already. Looking at the extended GFS. Temps look to stay in the 60s as far as the eye can see. Yuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Happily, we'll be dry until Tuesday when rain chances of 40%-60% return through Thursday.

SE Wisconsin Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Incredible drone footage of the flooding in Davenport. I didn't realize it was this bad there!

Tom Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 An interesting week of weather is brewing up for the heartland and the GL's region. First, a stalled front will likely produce several waves of precip and Severe Wx for Mon/Tue across the Plains/MW, followed by a strong "Cutter" on Wed/Thu??? Potential May snow in the Upper MW/GL's region?? The Euro has been showing accumulating snowfall for a couple runs now and its EPS is indicating a cooler trend which may in fact suggest some snowfall up north. Finally, a clipper...yup, a clipper system dives SE out of Canada on the southern periphery of the North American Vortex (one of the main Exhibit's of this year's LRC) so far south this late in the season due to anomalous high lat blocking for the following weekend. Crazy weather I tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 There was a 100mph wind gust reported just West of Lincoln.

Bryan1117 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just a few sprinkles and rumbles of thunder today, as Omaha missed out on pretty much all of the action... was hoping for some decent rains to help my grass seedlings, however not much here once again. The severe weather is something that I am glad we missed out on though. Hopefully all of our Lincoln peeps are okay. Looks like you guys down in the Capital City took quite a hit today from that supercell thunderstorm. It certainly looked ominous here all afternoon, as that beast of a storm passed to our southwest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
