Tom Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 It was a chilly, dreary, cloudy day yesterday which has been all to common this Spring. I fought hard not to, but in the end, I had to turn the Furnace On to get some warmth in the house. It won't be the last time this season I'll be turning it on bc the forecast calls for some chilly nights ahead this weekend into mid next week. Before then, however, after the fog burns off this morning we will be seeing temps jump into the 80's today and tomorrow. Summer returns, storm chances return....then, back to chilly and damp weather for the weekend! Ugghh! Don't worry, bc just like in 2019, Sudden Summer returns for the MW/GL's. I'm glad to see the 0z GEFS turn much warmer for the MDW and pretty much agreeing with the EPS. The 0z Euro showing what is likely to happen as the HEAT and HUMIDITY Surge into the majority of our Sub to close out MAY. What a wild swing for CO and the PanHandle.....From Winter to Instant Summer in a span of a few days... Finally, the modeling mostly agree that we will finish off met Spring with one last GL's cutter mid next week from KC to Chicago to GRR....another eastern ag belt soaker is in the works... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 54/44 the mean of 49 was -11 below average for the date. That high of 54 was the 7 coldest for any May 18 at GR. The average H/L at Grand Rapids is now 71/50. At Lansing the average H/L is now 70/48, at Muskegon it is 69/48 and at Holland it's 69/49. There was 0.26" of rain here at my house and the official rain fall for GRR was 0.23" At Muskegon there was only 0.11" at Lansing there was 0.23 and at Holland 0.27" so not a lot of rain just a kind of cool wet damp day. The overnight low both here at my house and at GRR was 52 and at this time it is cloudy and 53 here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Big storms possible over Iowa today with a decent threat of tornadoes over northern Iowa. From the SPC: Upper Midwest... An upper-level low will move eastward across southern Saskatchewan today as west-southwesterly mid-level flow remains over the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward across the Dakotas as a low deepens ahead of the front. A warm front attendant to the low will advance northward across southern Minnesota. Surface dewpoints along and south of the front will be in the 60s F, which will result in moderate instability by afternoon across much of the moist sector. Surface-based thunderstorms are most likely to develop along the warm front during the afternoon from southeastern Minnesota east-southeastward into western and central Wisconsin. As the cold front advances southeastward into the mid Missouri Valley during the early evening, thunderstorm coverage is forecast to expand southwestward across much of Iowa into far eastern Nebraska. MCS development appears likely across parts of the Upper Midwest during the evening into the overnight period. RAP forecast soundings at 21Z, from the warm front in southeast Minnesota southwestward across the moist sector into northern and central Iowa, show an impressive thermodynamic environment. MLCAPE is forecast to be in the 2500 to 4000 J/kg range with 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7.5 C/km. This combined with 0-6 km shear around 50 knot will be favorable for supercells with large hail. Hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible with the more intense supercells. By late afternoon, 0-3 storm relative helicity along this same corridor is forecast to be in the 350 to 450 m2/s2 range. Hodographs are long and curved suggesting that tornadoes will be likely with the more intense supercells. A strong tornado or two will be possible along the western edge of the low-level jet during the late afternoon and early evening from far western Wisconsin into west-central Iowa. Wind damage will also be possible with the stronger cells, especially if an MCS can become organized during the evening. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a random rest break along the way ended up being a reminder that I was traversing the region of Michigan's last strong twister. Iirc, 32 years separated this EF3 from it's predecessor "F3" in Kalamazoo. Ignore that they used the old F3 scale for the winds.

OttumwaSnomow Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Well here in Southeast Iowa we are marching towards the driest May in my 15 yrs here! We are sitting at .90 but most of that fell first few days! Basically over 2 weeks and no significant rain is rare here in May. I had come to trust May for weekly rain more than all other months. Theres still some moisture few inches down. But seeds and plants are beginning to show stress! We have been watering the garden for 10 days now. These wild swings in precip in midwest drive me crazy! Ive researched it and the bermuda triangle of Ottumwa Kirksville to Peoria has the most extreme swings in precip as anywhere in midwest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be at that time of year now where the sun going down doesn't really harm these much. Yeah the seasons are changing quickly now. Instability is rarely a problem by late May/early June. An “average” summer day is something like 1000 SBCAPE, lol.

james1976 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 It has been a nice and breezy evening. Temp is 77 and skies have cleared off. And now NWS literally just issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch til 3am. Hmmmm....I guess we'll see what happens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
