Think it has been cold outside? You are correct.

Michigan City has not hit its average high temperature since a week ago, May 11th. During that time we have AVERAGED a high temperature that is 11.5 degrees below the normal high of either 70 or 71 degrees. We are not expected to hit our average high temperature again until May 23rd!

We will all wake up on a day in June and it will be summer. There isn't much of a spring going on in the midwest.

It will be pretty much like this here the rest of the week. Time to rev up the AC.

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS A PORTION OF THE UPPER
MS VALLEY...SRN GREAT LAKES...OH VALLEY...SRN AND CNTRL
APPALACHIANS...
...THERE IS A MRGL RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE MID-UPPER MS VALLEY
THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION...
...SUMMARY...
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH SOME GREATER THAN 70 MILES PER
HOUR ALONG WITH TORNADOES AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL ARE EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM NORTHEAST IOWA INTO EXTREME SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN...NORTHERN ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTHERN
TO CENTRAL INDIANA AND PARTS OF WESTERN OHIO. A WIND DAMAGE THREAT
MAY AFFECT THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
...SYNOPSIS...
BELT OF STRONGER WLYS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE NRN TIER STATES
INCLUDING THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED
WITHIN THIS BELT OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL MOVE FROM NRN ND THIS
MORNING TO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING. SEVERAL SMALLER SCALE
MCVS ARE EVIDENT OVER THE MID-UPPER MS VALLEY AND WILL ADVANCE SEWD.
AT THE SFC AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER ERN NEB
WITH A CONVECTIVELY REINFORCED WARM FRONT EXTENDING EWD FROM THE LOW
THROUGH SRN IA...SRN IL INTO SRN IND. A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE
LOW SWWD THROUGH SWRN NEB INTO NERN CO. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NWD
INTO NRN IL TODAY AS THE SFC LOW DEVELOPS EWD INTO ERN IA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.
...UPPER MS VALLEY/SRN GREAT LAKES/OH VALLEY AND CNTRL
APPALACHIANS...
ONGOING STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS THEY SHIFT SEWD THIS
MORNING...ALLOWING THE CONVECTIVELY REINFORCED WARM FRONT TO BEGIN
TO MOVE NEWD IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG SWLY LLJ. BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON
THIS FRONT SHOULD EXTEND FROM A SFC LOW OVER ERN IA THROUGH EXTREME
NRN IL INTO NCNTRL IND THEN SEWD THROUGH OH AND WV. RICHER LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WITH NEAR 70F DEWPOINTS WILL ADVECT NEWD THROUGH THE WARM
SECTOR BENEATH EWD EXPANDING EML PLUME /SAMPLED BY OMAHA 12Z RAOB/

CAPPING INVERSION WILL LIKELY BE BREACHED INITIALLY NEAR TRIPLE
POINT OVER NERN IA NEAR AND JUST EAST OF THE SFC LOW WITH STORMS
SUBSEQUENTLY DEVELOPING ESEWD IN VICINITY OF AND NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT. A 60+ KT MID-LEVEL JET ROTATING THROUGH BASE OF UPPER TROUGH
WILL RESULT IN STRONG EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS
AS THE INITIAL MODE. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE INITIAL
STORMS ALONG WITH A THREAT OF A FEW TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NERN IA...EXTREME SRN WI AND NRN IL WHERE LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS WILL
BE MAXIMIZED IN VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT. HOWEVER...STORMS SHOULD
EVENTUALLY GROW UPSCALE INTO A FAST MOVING...FORWARD PROPAGATING
MCS/DERECHO WITH PRIMARY THREAT TRANSITIONING TO DAMAGING WIND AS
STORMS CONTINUE THROUGH THE OH VALLEY AND SRN GREAT LAKES AREA.
PARAMETER SPACE APPEARS FAVORABLE FOR A SWATH OF SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGING WIND DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND/OR EVENING HOURS. THE
THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THE CNTRL
APPALACHIAN AREA TONIGHT BEFORE ACTIVITY WEAKENS LATE.
