Money Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 How does it look Sunday Morning for Green Bay? I'm heading up there for the marathon. Not sure. Looks like there may be morning convection, but it's hard to pinpoint 2 days out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I am loving this weather, might not later when mosquitoes are prevalent, as we continue to get rain in Central Nebraska. Started thundering about 4 AM and has rained off and on through 8:30 AM with some heavier rains. Radar estimates are between 1/2 and 1 inch with more just south of us in North Central Kansas. Been a long time in this part of the state that we have standing water everywhere. This is not counting what might be coming in terms of severe weather this weekend, then more chances of rain next week and cooler. Have a great weekend, I know many are celebrating graduations and other end of the school year activities. Our school graduates on Sunday and the rest of the students are out Tuesday at 11:30 AM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hastings NWS not messing around with potential for severe weather this weekend. Could get interesting around here. The main weather story these next few days within the local area of South Central Nebraska and North Central Kansas will be the potential for severe thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Although thunderstorms have already developed across parts of the area this morning, these are not expected to carry much threat of being severe. As for later this afternoon and evening, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a Slight Risk of severe storms for most of the local area, although somewhat higher chances for severe weather is expected to focus off to the northwest over the Nebraska Sandhills region. Nonetheless, any given location within South Central Nebraska and North Central Kansas could see at least isolated severe storm development through this evening, with the main hazards being hail up to around the size of golf balls, wind gusts up to around 70 MPH, and perhaps a few tornadoes. While most of the local area is expected to see a lull in thunderstorm activity through most of the later evening and overnight hours, another round of storms could move in from the south and west late tonight into Saturday morning. As for other elements of the weather forecast today, it will be rather breezy from the south-southeast, with sustained speeds increasing to 20 to 25 MPH with higher gusts. High temperatures today are expected to be the warmest most areas will see for several days, with mainly upper 70s to low 80s. Turning to Saturday, although parts of the day could feature a lull in thunderstorm chances, the overall risk for severe thunderstorms within the local area during the afternoon and evening actually appears to be a bit higher than it is today, and the Storm Prediction Center has assigned an Enhanced Risk of severe weather to most of the area, especially south and west of the Tri-Cities. Again, large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats, but at least a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Looking ahead, although limited rain chances continue into Sunday for parts of the area, the risk for severe storms will depart well off to the east, with little to no risk of severe weather following through the next several days, although another decent chance of rain appears on track for around Tuesday night. Next week as a whole will feature slightly cooler than average temperatures, with highs expected to be in the 60s on most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 The JMA has come out with its new 3 monthly runs for June-Aug which basically are the summer months. No drastic changes and the model is right in line with the other climate models that point towards a cooler than normal central/southern CONUS. June may end up closer to normal near the Lakes and there sure doesn't seem like there will be any shortages in rainfall. I noticed the model is seeing a lot of troughiness near the 4 corners/southwest by July/Aug where tropical activity may start out real early as the eastern Pacific waters are quite warm. It'll be good to get some added moisture here in the desert southwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying back to Chitown Tuesday...looks like the wx for MDW ain't looking to shabby near the Lakes. Can't wait for the Hawks to start the Western Conference Final! Thought about driving down to Anaheim this weekend to check out Game 1 on Sunday, but decided to save the money and fly back instead. Probably will buy a hawks ticket and go to a game back home.

It's cooled to 58F now! A bit nippy for AZ standards and it snowed about 9" in the high country! It hasn't been this chilly since about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It's about time to head back and enjoy the Midwestern climo.

Tom Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Low and behold, are we going to see a wet/stormy Sun/Mon period over Memorial Day weekend near the Lakes? GFS has been hinting at it now for a couple days now. D**n it! I hope it goes south but if it ends up becoming a wet period, the LRC was spot on weeks out if you had to make an educated prediction.

Seahawkfan Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Noticed SPC lowered the chance for severe weather over most of eastern iowa, Illinois. Unlikely were see any servere weather today.

Hawkeye Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The NAM and Euro are both suggesting the temp could be stuck in the upper 40s on Wednesday with a sub-zero 850 mb temp and light rain through the afternoon. The GFS isn't quite that cold and neither is the NWS forecast. The average high is in the mid 70s, so that is quite a departure, even if only for a day. Hopefully, there will be enough wind to keep the temp up Tuesday morning and keep frost away. I'd prefer to not have to cover anything now that all my tender plants are in the ground.

CentralNebWeather Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Very cool weather predicted for US in the Central Plains. Most have had good rains, though as always, some places haven't done as well precip. wise as other. NWS Hastings even predicting frost for areas well north of Interstate 80. It will be a cool start to the work week, with high temperatures at least 10 degrees below normal for today. Sky cover will be variable across the region today, with north-northwesterly winds diminishing with time into the 10 to 15 mph range. Highs this afternoon are expected to top out in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Tonight there will be a chance that far northern portions of the area may see some patchy frost, as low temperatures fall into the mid to upper 30s. Further south, lows tonight are expected to drop into the lower 40s. Rain chances will be on the increase as we get into Tuesday and Wednesday, with the best chances coming Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. High temperatures both days remain in the 50s, with some locations in the west possibly struggling to reach the 50 degree mark on Tuesday. Dry conditions are in the forecast for Thursday with highs back in the 60s. Looking ahead to Friday into the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, plenty of uncertainty remains, but there is the potential the upper level pattern will be an unsettled one, with additional precipitation chances and below normal temperatures. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The cold phase of the LRC returning right on schedule. Not looking forward to coming back to daytime high temps in the low 50's on Wednesday! MDW still looking a bit stormy Sun/Mon period and it looks like the early April Severe wx outbreak will be cycling through during the upcoming weekend. Will it produce Tornado's again? The potential is certainly there and the dynamics are looking interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
