Officially at my home its 13 of 14 days. 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. Temp and dewpoints plummeting now I had 0.06” from on/off drizzle all day bringing event total to 0.29” or same as yours. May total is up to 5.23” or a bit more than I thought. I forget exactly what the high temperature was today, but it was only 47° or 48°!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 It's so nice to see that big beautiful shining star this morning. Puts you in the right mood any day of the week. One of the reasons why I love spending time in AZ is bc of how much sunshine you get out there. Then again, the volatility of the wx you experience in the MW is also something I enjoy. Today, we begin a slow warming process into next weekend. All I see is mostly 70's and low 80's through next Friday until Heat and Humidity build in next weekend. Summer is coming back! While not ideal beach wx on Lake Michigan this weekend, surfs up today with waves as high as 7 Feet, next weekend the 0z Euro is saying 90's are coming back into the picture for many around the region. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 I covered the tomato plants before I went to bed last night and that may have been a good thing as it dropped to 34 here and there is some light frost. It looks like the official low at the airport was 37. Yesterdays official high at Grand Rapids of 51 was the coldest maximum for any May 28th at Grand Rapids and the low of 39 was was the 11th coldest low for May 28th Todays official low of 37 will become a tie for the 5th coldest minimum for any May 29th It now looks like May 2021 will end up below average at Grand Rapids. At this time it is clear and 36 here with some light frost in the area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 It dropped to 38º in Cedar Rapids this morning, not low enough to produce frost. It's nice to see models drying out next week while we warm up. Update: A local met posted a photo of frost in Marion, so maybe there was a bit here that I just didn't see. 3 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 The record low for tomorrow morning is 34 set in 1996 and 1965 (there was frost in June up north in 1965) So tomorrow will be yet another day with a low in the top ten. At this time it is clear and 64 here with a DP of 29 so once the sun goes down and the winds go calm it will once again get cold real fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The low here was 34 and once again there is some frost in the area. It looks like the official overnight low at Grand Rapids will be 37 for two nights in a row. At This time it is clear and 38 here. I would hope that this is the last time until late September or October that we see frost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I hope everyone has a enjoyable Memorial Day. After 3 nights in a row of lows in the 30's the overnight low here was a milder 46. At this time it is cloudy and 55 here at my house. Officially Grand Rapids will end spring with 5.34" of rain. The 30 year average for spring is 9.38" There was a total of 0.3" of snow fall that was well below the average of 9.6" of spring snow fall. Grand Rapids ended last winter season with 41.6" of snow fall and that is -31.5" below the average of 77.6" That was the lowest snow fall since the winter of 1982/83 and the 2nd least amount since the airport moved to its current location in 1963. Yesterday was one of those rare days when the state high was at the Sault (along with several other locations) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstorm83 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 This month was backwards. Max of 89 on the first day of the month lol. 92 on April 26th was the first and only 90+ day so far, should have #2 on the list by next weekend though. While this month was slightly cooler than average, it was also much drier with only 2.55" (May/June is typically the wettest time of the year) 2 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...
