Sorry, I must've forgotten to add on my last rainfall and was nearly at 4" for May. I picked up another half inch since midnight bringing my May total to around 4.33" now. I was somewhat disappointed how the southern and heaviest part of a line of storms was heading right at me after 12:00a.m, but suddenly gusted and crapped out just before it got here, and shifted just north. Radar estimates show up to 2"+ not very far west of here. Late yesterday afternoon a small potent line also died as it was about to move in. Got a decent lightning shot from that at least. A few models did well in showing my area near the south end.
Mother Nature is going to continue roaring with rumbles of thunder across the majority of the Heartland...it'll stay pretty busy for a lot of you guys...
It'll probably be quiet here the rest of today and much of tomorrow, but it does look good for storm chances here in the evening. A much higher threat though to the northeast in areas that have had plenty of action lately. I suspect there will be a few hailers in the area so we will see how that turns out.
Definitely going to stay busy though with many days of strong mid-upper flow and a frontal boundary meandering through the area. CSU ML page rightly shows a slight risk of something every day for many days in a row.
Beyond this, ensemble guidance shows us moving into our June pattern as the desert southwest ridge flexes north and puts us in W-NW flow. That is typical June climo here with MCS's moving in during the night...and that takes us through the rest of this month.
We had another 3/4" of rain last night from some overperforming storms. Got a bit windy so it knocked some branches down too. That puts my 30 day total at 11.16", quite a stretch!
