Re: Wiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Aw crap I have a nice leak AGAIN in above my transom. Damn, I swear I tried everything to figure out where the damn rain comes in. It only comes in when its a southern driving rain. |

How much freak'n rain are we supposed to get today?
It's been pouring since I got up at 4 am this morning. Been pretty windy too.
My pond is overflowing, my yard is a lake and I'm sure if this keeps up, I'll have water in my basement too.  |

Yeah it just went kaput. We had fat drops for I would say 5 mins, then it cleared up. |

On radar, it looked nasty coming into Schaumburg, but it fizzled just as it passed. Nothing more than some clouds and a few drops of rain |

Whew, woke up this morning and it was down pouring the whole time. I went around my folks house to make sure all the down spouts were working (IE connected to their drains/not cloged) and even with an umbrella, got soaked.
Also, a few weeks ago apparently some strong winds blew in one of the windows in my room. So come home to find cardboard covering one of my windows. Fortunately even with the rain its still reasonably dry in my room

The real shocker could come late Sunday into Monday as an intensifying low pressure system moves from the lower Mississippi Valley into the Midwest, bringing a cold rain that is likely to transform into a wet snow here as temperatures drop into the middle 30s.
Recent warmth should prevent the snow from accumulating on pavement, but cold surfaces and grassy areas may be in line for a late-season coating of white.
Should measurable snow (0.1 inches or more) occur here on Sunday night or Monday, it would mark the city's latest measurable snow in nearly two decades when half an inch fell on May 6, 1989. I'm chasing storms in the southern Plains this week, so... uh, have fun guys!

The guy on WGN radio said there was 1 inch hail reported in Napperville. Nothing really here. A little thunder and it rained for a few minutes but that was it. |

There are some huge ass storms just cross into illinois now. We've had winds gusting over 40 and 50 down here in champaign ahead of these fast moving storms. Looks like they are going to storm through with a bitch slap. Batton down the hatches!

Looks to me like we'll still have highs in the 60s except for Saturday. The rain isn't supposed to arrive until late Thursday and should be gone for Sunday, so you might still have your shot at getting things done.
