It's almost like the radar is seeing a mixed bag yet temps aren't anywhere close to it. It's absolutely pouring out there for sure. We are certainly closing in on a drought busting two weeks! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Another day, another track meet cancelled. That would make 4 track meets cancelled this season for our HS team. Cold and wet weather to blame. Our HS meet last Friday was called due to lightning with 5 events left, so I guess we lost 4 1/2 meets. I don't coach track, but our son is a sophomore. We host the conference meet this Thursday, but talk is that might be moved to Friday as the 2nd system affects our area Tuesday night through Thursday. Update, track meet has been moved from Thursday to Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain is now just to the SW so it will be here shortly and it looks to be here for a while.

Tom Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Back in the saddle after a nice short trip to Vegas for a couple of days. The buzz was in the air as the NFL Draft was taking place. I visited numerous hotels and casinos but the one that caught my eye was the new Hilton on the strip and centrally located. They did a magnificent job with the architecture and design (https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/lashhhh-las-vegas-hilton-at-resorts-world/). I highly recommend this place if anyone is planning a trip out there. Alright, alright, alright, who's ready for some Summer Heat....and Humidity??? Wowza, from having the Furnace On....to the A/C in a matter of a couple days according to the Euro. This is going to be a welcomed instant surge from nature. 1st 90's of the season are quite possible. The Euro is notorious for pumping the SER so take it with a grain of salt. Still, though, this is gonna feel like summer. Meantime, out here we will be on the 100F watch for Thu & Fri which are likely to be the 1st official 100F+ readings of the year. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I think the Euro gets a bit overdone with temps in the D5+ range but with the blocking waning and the SER flexing its muscle this may end up come close.

There was 0.68" of rain fall that brings the monthly total to 0.85" and for the year the total is now at 15.17" that is 3.75" above average for this period in the year. Last year as of May 3rd Grand Rapids only had 6.70". The first 4 month of 2022 have been very cloudy, cool and wet. At Grand Rapids the first 4 months have been 2.0° colder than the 30 year average and -2.65° colder than the new 15 year average. The official overnight low at GRR was 42 and the overnight low here at my house was 41. At the current time it is sunny and 48 here at my house. It will soon be time to enjoy some much warmer temperature as we head into next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
