clintbeed1993 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 This cyclone is beautiful. Spinning directly over the area with a clear deformation band that looks like a classic winter storm. 4 inches of rain and counting!

Niko Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Some sprinkles made it all the way to my area from that ULL, but that is all that it will provide. Cloud cover all day long, while north of my area remains sunny w temps in the 70s and even 80s in southern Canada. Here my temps remained in the low 60s all day.

CentralNebWeather Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 More rain Sunday and Monday will add to flooding concerns in Central Nebraska. Forecast says several more inches. Well our dry conditions ended quickly. Lots of standing water in newly planted fields. Most corn plants have emerged from the soil. Hopefully they are not drowned out.

Stormy Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 To bad these storms are pivoting through in the morning during the most stable time of the day. Not sure yet if this first band will hit here. The swirl of clouds over the central plains on visible satellite last evening was neat to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 It looks like we should enter a very warm and humid period over the next several days. This has happened in the past so it is not all that unusual. There is some question as to how long this warmup will last as there are some hints to a cool down as we get past the first week of June. As has been said before a brief warm up then maybe a cool down. At this time it is clear here and 61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Cloudy w temps in the cool 50s. Somebody will hit 90F this MDW. It will get hot! Some storms could be possible too during the 3 day holiday weekend, especially w daytime heating. Will have to keep an eye on that. Otherwise, it looks pretty dry b4 some wet weather moves in from a stalled front developing ova the region. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Stormy Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 It briefly poured with a crack of thunder causing me to jump, but I think the heaviest part of this cell is passing just to my southeast. It was briefly severe warned earlier. Saw a 1/2" inch hail report. Another line is developing to my southwest again.Edit: Got around 0.28" from the first cell with my weather station showing a max. rain rate of 4" briefly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Picked up a measly tenth of an inch of rain from some passing showers yesterday. Amazing that areas just a few miles south and west of Omaha picked up one inch plus of precipitation the last few days. Really hoping that we can cash in on some decent rains the next few days... all these misses on rainfall around here are starting to get annoying.

Stormy Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The last storm actually had a max rainfall rate of nearly 7" with a bit more rain. Almost 0.60" this morning. I'm guessing probably around 1" a few miles east of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The wind is southwest here now so I think any rain and severe threat is over for my place. About 15 minutes ago I heard the tornado siren in the small town 2 miles north of me. So I climbed the windmill and thought it looks like a small wall cloud on the northeast horizon beneath a small cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The warning wasn’t necessary for here as the storm was already past here, and watch could soon be dropped for my county once the cells exit soon.
