Yeah that’s outflow. Dust, leaves, and other small debris gets lofted along the gust front and is reflected by the radar beam. 3 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Spoke to my dad in Emery, SD a bit ago. That's about 45 minutes west of Sioux Falls. They are still without power and the entire town is blocked off. He said one of the grain elevators was completely blown over, lots of businesses in their downtown had windows blown out, dozens and dozens of trees down, and he lost most of his shingles on the south side of his roof. He heard a gust of 98 mph was measured in town. Also described how weird the storm was. The wall of dust moved in suddenly and made it pitch black like he's never seen before. Crazily the power went out with this first part of the storm. Then after about 10-15 minutes, the tornado sirens went off and that's when the real wind, rain, and hail hit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 The city of Chicago just experienced a rare Heat Wave so early in the season. Only one other time since 1928 has MDW tacked on 3 consecutive days in the 90's so early in the season. Not only this, but to smash 3 consecutive record highs in the 90's is a tall order in early May. You can thank the wavy jet stream in this unusually amplified and blocked up pattern. ORD may end up setting another record high temp today so let's see if we can finish this week off on a record setting note....by the way, Happy Friday the 13th! Good luck ya'll! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Wondering what the wx pattern looks like for MDW??? Big differences between the GEFS & EPS....GEFS advertising a stout SER while the EPS says the complete opposite and is showing trough over the eastern SUB. You can't script a more opposite wx pattern. If this was a battle I'd see in the Winter season, you would normally side with the GEFS as the EPS usually is the one that hangs troughs out in the W/SW and pumps the eastern ridge. I'm actually very surprised to see this model contradiction. 0z GEFS... 0z EPS... 0z EPS is blowing a CF down through our central SUB a bit faster for next weekend. I hope we can score at least one good day next weekend (SAT) around these parts so I can venture out to the city or the lakeshore and enjoy the beach scene. A glimpse into MDW... Say it ain't SO, but we are still going to be talking about late MAY SNOW??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Here is a short recap of the record temperatures set yesterday. Grand Rapids 87 new record. Muskegon 91 new record. Holland 88 tied with 1993 for the record. Kalamazoo 87 tied 2011 for the record. For today the record high are Grand Rapids and Holland 86. Kalamazoo 88. Lansing 91 and Muskegon 84. So there is a good chance that most records could be tied or broken today. With low dew points the temperature fell to 59 here at my house and it looks like the overnight low at GRR was 61. At the current time it is clear and 62 here at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttumwaSnomow Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Im sitting at .75 rain in may which is significantly less than normal. May has come to be about the only month in se iowa that precip is almost a guarantee. But how did that massive heat ridge come in with zero rain and now it left with fropa and zero rain. Drives me crazy that in this place this is so frequent! Whats it take to get lift here! Humidity means absolutely zero when it comes to rain here! Ive learned throughout majority of the year a south to north eastward bound cold from usually brings zero to quarter inch! But if fronts are aligned west to east and sagging or stationary we get good rains 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Meanwhile here in "boring" old Omaha, yesterday we broke another record high. The storms never held their strength as they made it here finally around 9p. In fact, only got lucky enough to have a small cell strengthen enough right over town to dump .15" of rain in about 10 minutes and had some small pea sized hail. I hit 95.4 yesterday IMBY. I saw a small town named Tekamah, NE just north of here hit 101 yesterday.

Tom Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 ORD tied the record high for the day at 89F and felt much more tolerable compared to previous days. Looking forward to a cooler day today and tomorrow. I think we'll be able to open up the windows for a few days starting on Sun and turn off the A/C until later next week when a major trough carves out in the west that'll pump the ridge out here. Speaking of the system later next week, both the GFS/EURO are starting to line up on the idea of a "cutter" up through the central ag belt. Man, the 00z Euro has a nasty looking temp profile for next Sat. I sure hope the warm front can push north for at least one day (SAT) next weekend. Nonetheless, a very wet and strong late Spring storm is on tap next weekend. Well, the city of Chicago just lived through history as Midway airport logged it's 4th consecutive 90F+ day on Friday and tied the record for longest early season Heat wave (4 days in a row). Pretty remarkable feat! Looking to cool down??? The 0z EPS not backing down later next week and into the following week...geeze, this kind of temp battle zone will undoubtedly fire up some storms. Quite the wet wx pattern is poised to set up shop across the Sub. Yikes, some parts of the eastern ag belt will need a canoe and that's no bueno for the farmers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Yesterdays official H/L at Grand Rapids was 86/59 that 86 tied the record high last set in 1940. At Muskegon they set a new record high of 89 and the high of 87 at Holland also set a new record high. At Lansing the high there of 87 did not set a new record. With forecast high today mostly in the lower 80's there should not be any records set. After today it will become cooler and for the start of next week there will day times high in the 60's for the next week the average highs between 69 and 72. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
