Omaha and Lincoln may just get a general rain shield while the storms dive into Kansas. That enhanced risk for Lincoln isn't looking so good. Heavy rain just begun with just some occasional thunder and lightning. 1 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 It's a chilly and breezy morning with a steady NE wind off the lake. Temps are in the mid 50's (54F) and slept with the window cracked open a bit to let the cool breeze in. Great sleeping weather! Gotta get through these next couple days and what looks to be a heavy precip producing system come later today/tonight. Another 1-2" of rain looks to be on tap area wide. This weeks precip could potentially put a big dent into the severe drought. ORD is about (-2.55") behind in precip for the month. Yesterday, my mother flew in from Arizona and her flight route took her straight through the Tornado Watch area in C KS. In fact, while monitoring her flight on my phone, she flew just south of the Tornado warned Super cell NW of Witchita last evening around 6:00pm CST. I asked her when I picked her up if there was turbulence and she said.."This was the first time in a long while that I've felt that kind of turbulence." She also mentioned that the clouds were towering higher than usual. I had to educate her that super cell storms typically have towering clouds way up into the troposphere. I'm just glad she made it here safe and sound. Oh, she did say that the pilot mentioned on the intercom that the storm to the NW of the plane was producing Tornado's! Gosh, can you imagine all the nervous people on the plane??? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 If the 00z EPS is right, the idea of early June heat to build up in the Upper MW and migrate east is on the calendar. How long does it last??? The JMA weeklies are showing a continued theme for TX/OK and parts of the S Plains as we roll into June. Summer time warmth is to overspread the Northern parts of our Sub as a ridge develops over the lower heights in the south. Week 2...Upper MW/GL's warmth...quite a wet pattern if its right... Week 3-4...same ol' pattern continues...I'd be stoked to have temps end up slightly AN over here with plenty precip chances... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 We will have to see how cold it gets over the next few mornings. The record lows at Grand Rapids the next 3 days are in the lower 30’s it has not gotten down to 32 or lower the 3 days in recorded history. The official total rain fall yesterday at Grand Rapids was 0.73″ The total at Muskegon was 0.76″ and at Lansing just 0.39″ The overnight low here at my house was 43 and it looks like it will be 42 officially at the airport. At this time with clear skies it is 49 here at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a loud night with strong/severe thunderstorms, obviously that didn't happen as this has been the trend all spring so far.

I wonder if the early evening storms robbed moisture from a line developing?

Hawkeye Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I only received about 0.25" from the initial band of precip, but a little tail back-built to the sw and led to several more brief downpours moving through.

OmahaSnowFan Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Ended up with 1.06" of rain. Mainly just some moderate rain with embedded thunder at times. Definitely not the result it looked like would happen yesterday/last night. I'd say a huge underperformance for the severe weather yesterday. There were a few tornadoes and big hail, but most of western Kansas stayed shut off. There were storms that formed late morning and probably messed things up even for those of us in central and eastern Nebraska as the squall line never really materialized. Plenty of storm chaser were really disappointed/pissed off with yesterday's results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I fully expect 15 days after midnight. .29 today this system greatly under performed. Very few locations near a inch. Just a contiuation of the previous 2 weeks of showers. My home has 4.60 for may. Not that much given its rained on about 18 days! Creek is low and clear. But lawns are soupy.

Tom Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Yet another night I awoke to the sound of rain hitting my sky light in the hallway. I'm getting some heavier embedded downpours at the moment. Well, if I wasn't a wx enthusiast that enjoys all types of wx, I'm thankful for the wx Mother Nature is delivering on my B Day. I can't help but think what this storm would have brought during the winter months! Meantime, it is a cold, blustery, raw and wet day here. I can't believe I had to flip on the Furnace on 5-28-21...inside temp was 63F. Outside temp 44F with a wind out of the NE 25 G 40mph! Make it a fabulous day everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I recorded 0.34" of rain yesterday and overnight. On the temperature side this spring has been one of ups and downs with several days with highs/lows in the top ten either on the warm side or the cold side. Yesterdays official high of 59 at Grand Rapids tied several other years for the 7th coldest maximum for any May 27th at Grand Rapids. For today the record coldest maximum is 52 set in 1965 with 53 set in 1947 and then 57 in 1896, 1902 and 1984. So today has a good chance of being yet another top ten. At this time there is some light rain falling here with a cool wind and 42. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
