May 2022 Observations & Discussions


Iceresistance

Recommended Posts

The GFS & GEFS is hinting that May is looking dangerous with Supercell action across Northern Texas, most of Oklahoma & Kansas for most of the days in the month, the GEFS has really taken note of it for most of the month.

Lezak mentioned another frost possible in May.  Where's the warmth uggg!

Yup, def not what the doc ordered...outside of those down in TX/OK/NE and prob skirting your area and KC, real nice weather will be suppressed for the southern folks through mid MAY until it breaks down a bit and allow a warmer pattern later in May.

The LR signals I'm seeing during Week 2-3 is a major trough and very chilly temps shaping up for the season. Those trees will not be budding anytime soon (except those from KC on south).  Man, what an ugly month this is looking for a lot of the eastern CONUS.  I could see some peeps still experiencing Frost/Freeze advisories if what I see does happen.  My target period is the Week of the 15th for a strong push of chilly air out of Canada along with a dominant NW Flow pattern.  Let's see if that happens.

How do we open May???  We flip the script for NE peeps but continue the "cool" and sub normal pattern.  With the good, comes the ugly....unfortunately, that's what your going to have to deal with in this pattern.  Gosh, I could see Record cold highs for @CentralNebWeathercome May 2nd.  Both GFS/EURO suggesting some accumulating snow in parts of NW NE as we open up May.

0z Euro loading it up....it could become to much of a good thing, however, so maybe ya'll should tell everyone to maybe cut back on the prayers??  I counted 4 troughs lining up like a symphony across the central ag belt region.  Wouldn't this be a wonderful pattern next cold season?

Any moisture is welcome. Local forecasts call for multiple chances in the coming days. Dew Point of 52 this morning with dew on the cars. Don’t remember the last time I’ve seen that. Hopefully good moisture available for the storms tomorrow afternoon.

The GFS and GDPS are brutal through the first week of May.  The blocking will keep the cold dumping down into the midwest.

Despite what guidance looks like at the moment, I’m more concerned about a very hot/dry summer than a cool/wet one.

The tropical-ET relationships change significantly during mid-May. The low pass state that produces cool anomalies now ends up favoring a very warm outcome during the second half of May.

Sorry to those closer to the Lakes but we've had plenty of warm days out here so I'm looking forward to the cooler and wetter stretch 😂 Also the A/C in my car has been acting funny so that's fun.

So many drought stricken areas would see significant relief if this pans out.  Sure hope it does.  Not that I like the pattern at all.

Do I see DFW getting 7-10 inches of rainfall?

The first 3 weeks are typically North Texas’s wettest.  But this looks very good.  Ranchers, farmers, gardeners will all celebrate.  
Lakes will fill for the summer.  
All really good news.  After this past year it’s welcomed.

Looks like 6” per Buds post. Good nevertheless!

NWS Hastings disco for the next week looks wet. 

Progressive flow will provide a series of waves for precip chances for the rest of the forecast. Shortwave ridging will help keep Sunday dry and warmer from today, but more rain is on the way late Sunday night/Monday with the next wave, and a closed low associated with it aloft. The surface low will track east, across central/southern Kansas, far enough south to keep any severe risk outside of the area. Conditions will be rather cool with plenty of cool air on the cold side of the system to give us highs in the 40s for Monday. With subsequent waves giving us rain chances on Wednesday through much of the rest of the week, cool and damp weather will prevail for most of this upcoming forecast.

May 1st 2021- KDSM high of 87F.

Forecast high for May 1st at KDSM-  56F.

Currently 50F and raw with drizzle and 40mph gusty SW winds-- that hard to do this late in the year.

I heat my house with wood. Currently have a fire going. Only time later is May of 2013'.

Nice to see this updated and mirrors what I've been thinking for quite some time.  I'm glad to see this pattern flip on a dime for your region and others.  Good luck this week!

Only got to 57 this morning, dark clouds and it has started sprinkling. That line was breaking up in this corner of the state not surprisingly.

Welcome to May!! Looking back at April it was indeed a cool and wet month. The mean at Grand Rapids was 43.6° that is -4.0 from the 30 year average mean. The high for the month was a very mild 82 on the 23rd and the low was 23 on the 2nd. Only 8 days all month were warmer than average and 22 where below average. There was a total of 5.19" of rain fall. There was just 0.4" of snow fall. It was also cooler and wetter then average at Muskegon with a mean of 44.1 and a departure of -2.7 they recorded 4.94" of rain and had 3.3" of snow fall. Lansing had a mean of 45.8 for a departure of -1.2 at Lansing there was less rain but they still had 3.53" and 0.5" of snow fall.

The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 57/46 with some light rain and a east wind it felt colder then that. Overnight some heavy rain with thunderstorms moved in and here at my house a total of 1.12" of rain fell the official amount for GRR was 1.01" The overnight low here was 47 and at this time with blue sky to the west it is 53.

Other than a couple of highs near 90 last month, I would consider April to be a rather temperate month with lots of days not even breaking 70+ in there. I don't really know the averages well. And seems like KY is doing good on rainfall.

63 and 100% humidity.

Things sure greened up nicely on this street. When it dries out we're hiring someone to keep up the property. The back section is very different from the other house otherwise I'd do it myself.

The Monday night/Tuesday system had looked like 1+" of rain across much of Iowa, but models have been steadily trending south and lowering totals.  There are still a couple models showing 1+" here, but now it's looking more like 0.25"-0.75" across the state.

Here's the Euro

Excessive rainfall possible in western MO this week will cause flooding with some rivers already swollen.

Yeah. Not going to be good down here in the Ozarks. That and the coupled threat of high priority severe threats of all types over the next 10 and it's not ideal.

Thankful, very much, for the rainfall in Nebraska and TX specifically. Was getting to be a horrible situation and still is for many areas of Nebraska.

April is a cooler, more tolerable month than October. I usually lop it in with the “cool season” months (though it doesn’t always work that way).

The way I think of seasons here:
Warm season: roughly 5/15 to 10/1
Cool season: roughly 11/1 to 4/15. 
In-between/variable: 10/1 to 11/1 and 4/15 to 5/15.
