james1976 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ran into a severe storm this morning north of Rochester MN on my way to IA. Full on hail storm for at least 15min. Half to 3/4 inch diameter. It was intense. Everyone pulled off. Made it to IA and it's currently 88 with a 97 H.I. Also....that is a crazy long afd from DMX on t-storm potential 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttumwaSnomow Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just absurd humidity across much of Iowa. Saw at least 77 dewpoint on my station. Many pushing 80 dp. Heard local met say iowa "corn sweat" yesterday. If im not mistaken most of corn seed isn't EVEN PLANTED ! IMO its a question of geography. Nearly seal level Mississippi basin, i feel humidity pools here east iowa, west Illinois, south wisc. A look at usa dewpoint records bears this out. Im sure this been happening for centuries before corn, when this area was swamps and predominantly grass. After all corn is a grass! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It looks to have reached 87 for a very short time between readings at GRR. At the current time it is cloudy here with a temperature of 80 and a DP of 68 that DP is down from the 71 it was at. That high of 87 will be the new 2nd warmest for any May 11th The record high of 89 will stand for this date. If it can stay at 66 or better until midnight Grand Rapids would set a new record warmest minimum for the date. Looking ahead the record high for tomorrow is 86. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Waterloo had a high of 93 today. Not a record. However, tomorrow's record is 89 and the forecast is 92. So a record high is possible tomorrow. Tonight I was out on the deck and could see the south end of the cloud deck and lightning flashes from the Minnesota storm complex. Pretty amazing knowing how far away those storms are. Gotta love weather! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 ORD set a new record high of 90F yesterday (old record 89F 1982) and a record low/high of 70F (old record 1881). I was near the lakeshore yesterday and there was a mirage over Lake Michigan. This was before the lake breeze pushed inland. The city was vibrant and people were out exercising, shirts off, beach go'ers along with people lounging around the parks enjoying this Summer weather...it was nice to see. I've been in summer mode for a few weeks now having stayed in Arizona. I was thinking to myself what all these people must feel like after living through one of the most miserable periods of Spring in recent years! Another Carbon Copy today as we head up towards 90F yet again....looking forward to more seasonal weather this weekend and a bit of a cool period next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Record highs set yesterday! Yes there were some record highs set yesterday. The official H/L at Grand Rapids was 87/66. That 87 was the 2nd warmest May 11th and the low of 66 tied 1922 for the warmest minimum. At Muskegon the H/L was 87/71 the high tied 1930 for the record and the low of 71 is the new record minimum. At Holland their H/L was 90/67 the high of 90 tied 1993 for the record and the low of 67 is the new record warmest minimum. At Kalamazoo the H/L was 89/67 both the high and low are records for the date. At Lansing their H/L was 83/66 the 83 was the 6th warmest high and the low of 66 was the 2nd warmest minimum at Lansing. The big thunderstorms that hit the Big Rapids area fell apart before reaching the Grand Rapids area but it did cool down late yesterday afternoon. The overnight low at Grand Rapids looks to have been 63 here at my house the overnight low was 62 and that is the current temperature here with hazy skies. There are some thunderstorms to the NW that will miss GR well to the north. The record high for today is 86 set way back in 1896 in more recent times in 2nd place a high of 85 was set in 2011, 2004 and 1956. Remember that today is part of the so called "Three Chilly Saints" or a period of cool weather that seems to happen in mid May. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 70* today. Nice morning. Expecting a High of 94* Wind is up still. SSE 16-23 mph. We’ve seen a good deal of SSE winds this spring. Usually means rain but not this spring. It’s been an odd one. Drought in West Tx hanging in there. Everyone’s hoping it will back off. Wildfires will certainly be a concern throughout the State.

Hawkeye Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Models have removed any rain for my area Friday as the frontal passage timing will be poor. Last weekend the Euro was advertising at least a few rounds of storms here this week, but we will likely go the entire week without a drop. The next chance is mid next week or even next weekend.
