May 2020 Observations and Discussion


St Paul Storm

Recommended Posts

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. Man, that will change in a heartbeat soon this MDW. :D

We also made it to the low 70s this afternoon.  There were clouds, but it was more cumulus and less dense, low stratus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Tornado drought has ended in Nebraska...1 report thus far from last nights interesting system that traversed the Plains.  It sure did look pretty on radar and today on viz satellite as the swirling clouds tracked slowly across the heartland.

 

 

 

CORRECTS PREVIOUS FUNNEL CLOUD REPORT FROM BARNESTON. FOLLOW UP WITH REPORT INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A BRIEF TOUCH DOWN. (OAX)

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.

I only received 0.14" this morning.  There's a decent cell, maybe with a bit of hail, missing me to the east right now.

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.

The latest line filled in at the last minute and dropped a quick quarter inch to boost my daily total to 0.40".  Like every heavy downpour this year, it was very brief.  There was no thunder.
