After a refreshing low of 52 at CVG this morning, despite some high clouds, we've managed to get up to 73 with a dew of 57 as of 11:35 am. Most folks should be on either side of 80 for the high today. Low to mid 80s for everyone tomorrow so it'll be a toasty one for early May! The record high at CVG...

As of 4/29, you can clearly see the -PDO signature developing with very warm SST's off the Japanese Coast and a horse shoe shaped area of below normal SST's developing from the Gulf of Alaska and off the West Coast of North America. Also, you can easily see the developing La Nina getting underway wi...

Great Post Les and the front will be nearby for an extended period so chances of showers and thundershowers will be around and will hopefully be able to narrow some of the rounds the closer we get to Friday. I agree no severe weather but you may here thunder at time but the severe weather should st...

It looks like a volcano in Indonesia called Ruang blew its top the other day. It was rated as a VEI of 5 which is pretty significant! We shall have to wait and see what its impacts could be to the global weather pattern in the months ahead. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/indonesia-mount-ruang-volcano-...

6Z NAM has scattered showers, maybe an isolated t-storm arriving by midday to early Fri afternoon. The GFS is much faster having the rain arriving Fri morning just before the AM Rush begins. A break then more showers possible later on Sat into Sun morning as a cold front passes. The front comes back...

Good morning folks! Tim... wonderful post and I agree with regards to the rainfall. Getting above normal temps is fine as long as you get the rain to go along with it. It's bad when the faucet turns off and the heat cranks up. I keep reading doom and gloom from a lot of the Met Community out there w...

We lost game one 2-1 and won game two 11-6. Rubber match this afternoon at 1:10pm with Kenta Maeda.

I hit 76 today, CVG checking in with 75. For the month, we are about 3 degrees above avg using CVG as a reference point. Precip wise, CVG will end up +0.42" for the month. Not bad!

71 with a dew of 54 at CVG per the 2pm reading. A nice and refreshing air mass this afternoon! We should drop into the 50 to 55 degree range by morning with a drier air mass in place. Nice way to kick off May! :thumbsup: EDIT: Forgot to mention.... look out for patchy dense fog in the morning as wel...

After watching BG's video from today and looking at the 12Z GFS.... we know the pattern going forward looks active. Temps as a whole will also remain above avg if not well above avg at times. The only thing lacking is severe wx. Wondering if that changes a bit mid to late next week? BG did mention a...

Love the reports guys! Thanks! Once we get some heat applied tomorrow and Thurs, things will really be taking off! Glad I was able to get my mowing in yesterday late afternoon prior to the rains coming in.

Seeing some blue sky now in Mason with a bit of sun as well. N winds behind the front will continue to usher in drier air so a nice afternoon is ahead. 67 as of the 11am reading at CVG. Low to mid 70s should work for most locations.

It's been raining decently here in Mason too for the last hour.

CVG tacked on a bit more so now we are up to 0.70" as of 8am. Per radar, the last batch of showers are pushing thru now. Clear skies and drier air has already pushed its way into the NW half of Indiana so by late morning, we could see some sun breaks in our NW and around lunchtime for the Cincy...

Updated 7am total at CVG is 0.65"

I will kind of piggyback off of Tim's last post in the April thread. As mentioned, we certainly look to remain on the active side for the first half of the month at the very least. I see the GFS from time to time showing a cut off low in the extended range as well. Very common to see a system like t...

Awesome!!! Glad to see everyone cashing in for a change. Good deal! The May thread has been started for us to discuss the new month and as you mentioned Tim, the 1st half of the month certainly looks active and I am perfectly okay with that.

Good Morning and Les like you mentioned a nice drink of water overnight. Rather widespread as well and perfect to happen at night. Give me 2 of these systems a week for the next 8 weeks and that would be perfect. Good morning Tim! I wish Mother Nature would work that way too! :lol: 0.64" as of...

I agree! The rainfall totals are absolutely perfect as well as the intensity of the rain with a few mod to hvy pockets at times. I'd love to see 70s and 80s continue all summer with rain every 3-4 days. Of course that will never happen but one can dream!

Time to get the May thread going. Can you believe that the 5th month of the year is almost here? We will start off on the toasty side in the 80s for Wed and Thurs, then turn more active again by Friday. Daily scattered storm chances continue this weekend on into next week as well. Discuss!

Good morning all! CVG is checking in with 0.41" as of 4am. Same here for me and at the Boone Co Mesonet. We got a nice drink of water here! Glad I was able to get the mowing in yesterday. The back edge is moving thru the area now. Look for decreasing clouds this afternoon from NW to SE. Then, t...

Cards / Tigers game was PPD last night. A DH today with Game One at 3:40pm. Jack Flaherty will start. Game Two's start time as well as Tiger pitcher TBD.

76 / 60 as of 1pm at CVG so nice to see the dew point come up a little. The lower levels are trying to moisten up a bit now which is good. Most of the rain is still located over the Wabash River Valley well to our West and SW. A few isolated light showers (probably sprinkles) are currently located o...
