  3. Pulling the off-season night shift up late taking care of my wife who had to have emergency surgery a few hours ago. Total lunar eclipse underway. It's visible in the southern sky if you're lucky enough to not have clouds. Just about into the earth's shadow and the PacMan shape will start in about 15 mins. Also the point of greatest eclipse will be at 4:20 AM so that works out pretty well.

  6. The strongest cell moved over me, but it was still just a low-end thunderstorm. There was lightning and thunder, but not a lot of it, and the thunder was not loud at all. I picked up 0.39" of rain. It's nice to get a thunderstorm in such a quiet year.

  9. What a gorgeous afternoon after a wet and gloomy start to the day. Bright blue skies with lowering humidity levels and a temp in the upper 70's. Gosh, I hope to see many of these type of days come June and throughout the summer instead of having to wait till end of Aug or Sept. Currently 79F/51F

  10. I will my friend. Already planning to put our kids vehicles in buildings at the farm east of town in case of hail. Local mets doing a good job getting the word out.

  11. I had a quick moving thunderstorm come through yesterday afternoon and I picked up .31 inches. Strong storms are in the forecast tonight and everything is on the table tomorrow as far as severe weather.

  12. I think Sea has locked in the coldest May since 2012. Which to be honest hasn’t felt like it. Must be due to clearer nights and no major heatwaves.

  13. My grandma has a letter from president Theodore Roosevelt sent to Paris Gibson back in 1906 I think inviting him to the whitehouse. It’s a very cool piece of family history.

  18. @CentralNebWeather, your in the bullseye my friend...hunker down and stay safe out there bud. Take some pics of the towering thunderheads if you can. You should be seeing them develop after lunch time today and the sun angle could be perfect for snapping photos out from behind the storm clouds.

  19. As we near the start of met Summer, I think it's safe to say that many of us are already in "summer mode". The unofficial kick off to summer begins this weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day weekend while giving thanks to those military personnel who have sacrificed their lives serving the armed forces for our beloved country. I always enjoy this time of year for many reasons, including my B Day weekend, but none moreso than spending time outdoors with family and friends. With that being said, that brings me to the topic of this post...what type of weather could we experience??? Is there a real possibility that a "Year Without a Summer" may occur for a few members on here??? When looking at the broad scope of things across North America, the LR signal I'm seeing over the course of the summer months, real summer may only show itself this year here and there. If you live down in TX/OK, the wx pattern is not so bright... @OKwx2k4 and those folks up near the KC/MO region could be stuck in a trough-like pattern. Months ago, the CFSv2 had been showing signs that a central CONUS trough would set up somewhere over the Plains or MW, migrating east and west a bit. As we near the start of June, where does this trough set up??? If you believe the CFSv2 weeklies and Euro weeklies, TX/OK and the S Plains are going to be stuck in a rough wet and cool pattern. The CFSv2 is rock steady of a cooler pattern with abundant moisture for the S Plains... Meanwhile, those who live to the N and E of the aforementioned central CONUS trough, this is where bursts of heat and real summer will occur. I truly feel that the Upper MW will end up having the highest departures from normal and skirt east into the GL's region. However, there appears to be a signal that Aug may turn abruptly chilly as has been the case in a few years during the last 5-7 years over areas of our Sub Forum. The way the blocking patterns are setting up this season, it won't surprise me to see unusually amplified patterns that tug down cold troughs out of Canada mid/late summer. Blocking, Blocking and more Blocking....that is, and will be, the theme of 2021 and into 2022...this is my gut feeling as we move along this year. I'd like to wait and see what the climate models show early next week before diving into more details for the Summer months. Maybe I'll chime in on what is going on up in Canada for our climate folks. Something really fascinating is brewing up there. Nature is working in her mysterious ways and delivering very interesting weather patterns across the globe.

  20. Here at my house I recorded 1.09" of rain fall overnight. Will have to see what GRR official total rain fall the event ends up at but for here that is the most rain for any event since September 8th last year. The overnight low and current temperature is 61.

  21. So far the latest reading out of ORD is .75 of welcomed rainfall...can't wait for the sun to come out later this morning and go for a walk. Looks like a splendid day on tap with lowering DP's and temps topping out in the mid 80's. Today's the last warm day before some really chilly air invades the region both Thu and Fri. #HappyHumpDay

  22. I woke up around 3:00am to a torrential downpour as the rain was pounding my sky light. Couldn't go back to sleep so this may be a rough morning. Looks like GRR is getting rocked by heavy rain as well. Glad to see nature soak those who are in a severe drought.

  23. Have finally accumulated some decent totals for rain on the month. Now up to 1.40" and more on the way for Thursday. This is just what the Dr. ordered. Thank you madre naturaleza!

  24. Yeah, I've been following it all night. It didn't look good for us, but the storms to the north have gradually sunk southward and built up at the south end. Now the strongest cell is about to move into Cedar Rapids.

  25. A nice drive back on HWY 20 today. Back home and it appears we have had some rain! My driveway had a small washout that happens when it rains very hard so I must have missed that...Darn. According to my weather station we have had .90” so far on the week, 1.90” for the month, and 24.65” ytd. Currently cloudy and 53.

  26. 12th straight day of some rain in the Ottumwa, Iowa area. Just .03 at my home, but much more in spots. When will this end? Possibly Wednesday? I wouldnt bet on it

  27. If that is true and we are currently moving from phase 6 to 7 right now... then we should be doing an 8-1-2 transition next week?

  33. Super nice out. 75, full sun with low DP and light breeze. Left work at lunch to come home and do a couple small outdoor painting projects. Tomorrow is gonna be a washout!

  34. Here’s a cool fact for you. The founder of great falls Montana...Paris Gibson is actually my great great grandfather. Still have quite a few relatives on my moms side living out in Montana. Haven’t been over there since I was like 7 though need to go back sometime soon.

  36. Would be interesting to see if there will be any lunar shadowbanding from the last bit of light emitted from the surface before going into totality.

  37. I understand most of the numbers and indices thanks to my meteorology classes at UNL and lots of studying online. The curved shape of the hodographs up I n the top right is about as perfect as you will see for a tornado sounding! I agree. It’s nice to be able to see the storm structure etc. Not to mention I’d rather have the possible power outages during the day although I guess it’s not as warm at night.

  41. Omaha NWS AFD: A vigorous shortwave trough will move through the northern Plains while a surface low develops from eastern CO into eastern NE by 12z Thursday. A warm front will lift north ahead of the surface low with dewpoints rising back into the lower/mid 60s to the south of that boundary. Consensus of available model data suggest that storms will quickly grow upscale into a convective system over western NE during the evening hours. Farther east, various models have shown some signal for more discrete storm development along and north of the warm front during the evening from central into eastern NE. There is considerable model variance in the characteristics of the low-level moisture profile in the vicinity of the warm front, especially from mid to late evening. The nocturnal strengthening of the low-level jet will result in large, clockwise-curved hodographs, suggesting a conditional supercell tornado threat downstream from the evolving QLCS, assuming 1) in situ storm initiation along the warm front, and 2) storms are surface-based within the moistening boundary layer. Otherwise, expect that the QLCS will track southeast along the immediate cool side of the warm front with the system moving through the majority of our area after midnight. Damaging winds will be the primary severe weather hazard. However, tornadoes will be possible with any embedded mesovortices and/or HP supercells. Locally heavy rainfall will also be a concern.
