So far in May...
- There has only been one day in which the low was below average.
- There has only been one day in which the high was below average.
- Every single day has been above average when considering both the high and low.
-Baring a forecasting failure of epic proportions we will break the record for the warmest May.

Pretty good looking shortwave the NAM has moving through here Thursday afternoon. That needs to be watched for severe potential  |

That storm from Sunday in Affton... did we ever confirm anything tornadic? Straightline winds? Getting back into town from holiday weekend and tons of damage around town from patio sets broken, down trees, damaged roofs. Anyone know the wind gusts from that storm.

No tornadoes. 50 mile per hour winds and hail as large as an inch and a quarter in diameter along with torrential rain. |

When did that storm hit?(morning or evening) I’m headed to my parents in Affton and was out of town this weekend. Guess I’ll be checking their roof. |

The storm remnants are going to end up a little further west than what was projected. How much further west remains to be seen, I think

Thursday still looking like a potential active severe day around here. Should have a dying MCS to deal with in the morning hours that could inhibit some of the activity later in the day. But the shortwave moving through Saturday afternoon should kick off more storms regardless that have the potential to be organized and severe

I agree with you 920. Fairly compact shortwave Thursday, but sporting some 40+ kts of mid-level flow. With 70+ dewpoints showing up on the models (if even overdone) and heading into June moisture shouldn't be problem. So instability and shear should be enough for organized strong/severe storms. Big question is overnight or early day convection...so often we see this work against the potential here. On the other hand it could leave outflow boundaries for storms later to trigger and/or latch onto. Right now I like along and mainly south of I-70 as the best chance, but obviously that will be refined later.

It's looking promising and moving quickly Fingers crossed that line of storms moving west across Illinois doesn't fall victim to the Arch effect. |

Guess I caught it to late to edit it Saturday needs to be watched too. Big boy CAPE showing up on both the Euro and GFS with prolific convection. They both have PW flirting with 2" so supercells will likely be HP and may tend to cluster quickly. |

If ya'll look at the radar, the precip in Kansas is moving east and the stuff from the Tropical storm is moving west! It's such a hoot to watch!
