Tom Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 The system cutting up the lower lakes on Wed/Thu is really tugging down some chilly air on the 12z Euro. Thu/Fri just look nasty in N IL/S WI and all of MI. Certainly going to be a shock to the system after the summer time warmth this past week.

Tom Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Final 2 weeks of May look warm finally. If everything sets up right, this month will break the below normal regime and end up above normal for a change Think its about time to head back to Chicago next week and hope the Hawks go deep into the Playoffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bunch of heavy rain and lightning. Now... getting some moderate rain and home with rolling thunder. The best! Storm that rolled into Kenosha and Racine tonight. (The one with the tor warning.)

Hawkeye Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Only 0.86" of rain here over the two days. This is after only getting 0.14" from the last big system. There was also no severe weather again, which is nothing new. We've been in a real severe drought for 3-5 years. I have fallen behind with my garden planting. When the weather was pleasant early in the weekend I was busy buying plants and doing other stuff. When I wanted to get everything planted later in the weekend it rained. Now I have to worry about frost later in the week, especially in the nearby open green space where I'll be planting several tropical cannas.
