Yeah baseball sized hail with that cell but it was a loner. Didn’t get much here, some thunder claps and moderate rain. Strongest winds came in behind the storm with the dry cold front passage. 1 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...

Tom Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 What a perfect day yesterday as we topped out at a very comfy 78F along with a nice NW breeze. It felt like a late summer/early autumn day. I cooked up some grass-fed burgers and Polish sausage on the weber and had my family enjoy a nice dinner out on the deck. It's a cool & crisp 50F this morning with a wind out of the NE off the lake. Should be another wonderful May day around here. The wx gets a bit active around here tomorrow and moreso on Friday. Friday night boomers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I hope the Euro is right and slows down the passage of the CF here on Friday allowing for more warming during the day...but more importantly, I'd like to venture out and make it a Beach day! Nothing beats working at the beach on a Friday afternoon... Alright, looking at MDW...while it does look like a warmer weekend for the majority of this Sub, unfortunately, I think it will be accompanied by active wx in our region. I think we'll be dodging storms around here and members in the vicinity of the MW/GL's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the humid fetch/foliage aspiration here will keep overall temperatures lower than parts west or north of me in this deal. Let's hope I'm right.

Tom Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Boy, I'm really digging what the 0z EPS is serving up to close out May, but esp wrt MDW weekend. After what will be a very chill weekend into the middle part of next week, the stout SW ridge will fire up and blow some of that Summer Sizzling heat into the Plains/MW just in the nick of time for nearly everyone on here to celebrate the unofficial start to Summer with a warm/hot welcome (depending on your local).

westMJim Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 67/46. With a departure of -3.1 that brought a end to the 8 days in a row of above average days at Grand Rapids. The overnight low both here at my house and at GRR was 45. When the clouds moved in it did warm up it 50 and with the rain now started it is at 49. So far here at my house I have recorded 0.06" of rain fall. It still looks like a brief warm up on Friday with some storm chances and then down to below average for the weekend and at least the start of next week. So far May's mean at Grand Rapids of 60.3 is +3.5. At Muskegon their mean of 61.1 is +5.5 At Lansing there mean of 60.8 is +4.8 and at Holland their mean of 60.1 is +4.3. May so far has been well above average at this point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
