james1976 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 MPX calling for near record highs late this week. No widespread storms either. Next week looks above normal temps and mainly dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowxman Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Yet another in a long string of dry days on tap across the area today to close out a Top 20 coldest May and 2nd driest month in Chester County history. Some patchy smoke will be visible and you will likely smell it in the air at times today and tonight as smoke from the wildfires in Nova Scotia spread southwestward on the East/Northeast breeze. After another below normal day today we should warm to above normal for both Thursday and Friday to close out the week. Cooler weather again by the weekend. Our next small rain chances look to be on Saturday. Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA.

Hope this makes it my way this afternoon. The last 12 hours here have gone from bone dry to flood warnings! Quite the surprise from maybe having some scattered storms to stalling storms and rain for the last 12 hours. Woke up out my sleep to loud boomers after i thought the rain was winding down but just re-intensify right on top of us overnight. Currently sitting at 2 inches with more steady rainfall coming down 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I see ORD hit a high of 91F yesterday and could top 90F again today. First 90's of the season are checked off the list! Hopefully there will be some pop up storms later today to bring some moisture into the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tStacsh Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Slight chance of a pop storm or shower today, looks like our only hope for the next 4 days at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself lucky OttumwaSnomow … another 0.00” in the rain gauge today here - officially the driest May ever for Omaha with 0.17” total for the month. REALLY hoping things turn around during the month of June, however I am not optimistic at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkstwelve Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Loving the signs of the pattern finally breaking down in about 10 days. Sure hope we can finally say goodbye to this never-ending ridge. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1117 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Pretty insightful graphic from NWS Omaha on the lack of moisture in Eastern Nebraska, not just this month but for the last two years for most of the area. Crazy to think that Lincoln has had it even worse than Omaha the last few months. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tStacsh Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 No rain yesterday, Nothing popped up on our side of the lake down here. .03" since May 9th. Due to quite of bit of rain earlier in the spring, we are still not updated to "abnormally" dry. Which is odd, because we most certainly are. Hope it rains early next week, but not looking like much if any. Some places in Michigan starting to pop up on the drought monitor though. Quite dry across the nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 ORD managed to eke out 0.29" of rain from the pop up storms and tacked on another 90F+ day (91F)...if it hits 90 again today, it will mark the 1st official "Heat Wave" of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowxman Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 So we finished May as the 20th chillest May in Chester County history back to 1888. It was also our coldest May since 2008. The dryness was also historic as we only received a scant 0.21" of rain - the only drier month was May 1964 with just 0.14" of rain. Much warmer today with temps rising into the low 80's. Tomorrow looks to be the warmest day so far this year - spots outside of the higher ridges could touch the 90 degree mark for the first time this year. Records for today: High 96.5 (1895) / Low 34 (1930) / Rain 1.69" (1977) Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA.

hawkstwelve Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Average May temp was 5th highest on record for Sioux Falls. Average high temp was 4th highest. Safe to say the month featured some record-breaking warmth. Ready to turn the page on that chapter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Rainfall for the month here was 2.54" which is about half of my May average. It's been mostly dry for several weeks now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttumwaSnomow Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I ended May with a pathetic .90 here. One of lowest amounts in all of Iowa. So far in June .25.. very demoralizing situation. This is why in early May when i got repeatedly missed by 10 to 15 miles I knew it was gonna hurt! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
