Rain would be nice... along with some thunderstoms! I won't get my hopes up until next week.

Mike,

Keep your expectations low for a few more days.

Hello Mr. Lezak,
When does tornado season end in this area? Do you see a chance of any storms in the near future?

Tornado season usually ends suddenly around June 15th. So, we still have time.

Thank you for your in depth expectations of the next few months. This blog is very useful and much appreciated. Even on boring dry days I find your info very interesting.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Joe

Thanks Joe,
I wish I could convince my boss that even on boring dry days that weather is still very important. Something is always going on and right now the weather pattern is very close to getting very exciting. Even by this weekend something may be changing, but certainly next week has a lot of potential for thunderstorms and even severe weather. We need one more day to see if these trends continue.

Hi Gary and team:

So the up and down pattern goes on? :-) We are now back in the warm part of the pattern. I see that it may approach 90 on Saturday. Is that a record for this time of a year?

You said severe weather ends around June 15th? I thought it would at least go until Sept. I know that we can still get storms after the 15th, but from what you say they are less likely to be severe.

Is it possible that we just had our severe weather season early this year in March and April instead of May and June? We will have to wait and see about next week!

Brian

BRIAN:
The temperatures this weekend will all depend on where the front is! Right now, we have 90 for Saturday... which would tie the record high for that day. It was previously set back in 1970... BUT, like I said, we will have to see where the front is!! Gary will have an update on the news tonight at 5, 6 and 10pm.

Gary or Jamie,
I am so bored with this weather!!! Although I have been getting alot of golf in lately. Don't get me wrong, I love the nice weather but it would sure be nice to throw some storms into the mix. So does next week look preety good for rain? I would sure love to see some severe weather. It's driving me crazy. Thanks
Ryan

Ryan,

We will have some thunderstorms soon.

Gary - Geez, hope so, but I won't hold my breath. I agree with Ryan, this pattern is a YAWN. Still, you have been right with this pattern, and one would expect one more bout of activity sometime in the next 3-4 weeks at least - after that? I shudder to think!!!

BTW, I think Mr GFS is smoking crack!!!

Later,
Dog

Storm Dog,

I just did a new entry. I am optimistic, but eventually it will be exciting, at least as exciting as this pattern can make it.
