So was this a hundred or thousand year storm? Maybe we should just start calling them 10 month storms.

We've seen minor signs of spring ant invasion. Nothing too bad yet.

Just checked. Minor water infiltration. Gotta get some downspout repairs done.

Really need new roof, gutters, siding, windows, detached garage...

We've been crunching the numbers on the recent rainfall and we think you'll find them pretty incredible.
- Last Thursday's 3.53" of rain broke the record for the wettest calendar day ever in May in Chicago
- Sunday's 3.11" ranks as the 5th wettest May calendar day ever in Chicago
- so that means 2 of the 5 wettest days ever recorded during any May in Chicago have happened in the past week
- during the 4 day period of May 14-17, Chicago recorded 7.88" of rain, making it the 4th wettest 4 day stretch in Chicago recorded weather history dating back to 1871
- the top 4 wettest 4 day stretches in Chicago are:
1) 12.84” (Aug 13-16, 1987)
2) 8.61” (July 21-24, 2011)
3) 8.45” (Sept 11-14, 2008)
4) 7.88” (May 14-17, 2020)
- that 7.88" of rainfall is more than has fallen during 1759 of the 1792 months of weather records in Chicago, only 33 months (less than 2%) have had more rain during the entire month than what fell in just that 4 day stretch
- May 2020 is only 0.06" away from breaking the record for wettest May ever in Chicago (as of 7 am on the 18th, so still nearly 2 weeks to potentially add to that total). The previous wettest May in Chicago was last year with 8.25". Crazily, prior to last year, the wettest May on record as 2018 with 8.21". So in all likelihood Chicago is about to see back to back to back record breaking wet Mays in Chicago!
- finally, prior to the back to back to back record wet Mays, the 7.88" of rain that fell May 14-17th would have been enough to break the record rainfall for the entire month of May prior to 2018, all in just 4 days

We got 4” yesterday, I think from the big Midwest system that drowned Illinois - now, we’re getting hit with the remnants from the tropical storm, so 2-3 more days of rain :x

8.61” (July 21-24, 2011)

This is the storm that initiated the change in the 1% (or "100 year") precipitation values in Northeast Illinois for 2020 and beyond. The "old" 100 year 24 hour event was 7.58 inches, the "new" 100 year 24 hour event is 8.57 inches.

This puts the old event at around a 12 hour 100 year event, or a 24 hour 50 year event.

Bob Gardiner's report from yesterday.

Rainfall from 5/17/2020 to 5/18/2020 – Lake County received between about 1.4” and 3.1” of rain with an overall average of 1.8” +/- 0.4”
Rainfall from 5/16/2020 to 5/17/2020 – Lake County received between about 0.7” and 1.1” of rain with an overall average of 0.86” +/- 0.13”

The 48-hour period from 5/16/2020 at 7am to 5/18/2020 at 7am Lake County received between about 2.1” and 3.7” with an average of 2.7” +/- 0.4”
The 192-hour (8-day) period from 5/10/2020 to 5/18/2020 Lake County received between about 3.7” and 8” with an average of 5.6” +/- 0.8”

Let’s look at the “year rain storm” based on Revised Bulletin 70
5/17/2020 to 5/18/2020 – 24-hour peak storm: 1” in 1 hour gives about a 6-month rainfall event.
5/16/2020 to 5/18/2020 – 48 hour peak storm: 2.8” in 21 hours gives about a 1.2-year rainfall event
5/10/2020 to 5/18/2020 – 192 hour peak storm: 4.93” in 93 hours gives about a 4-year rainfall event.

We had a slow moving low pressure system that was bringing Gulf moisture right up through Milwaukee. The storms weren’t convective…there were little or no thunderstorms. That is why the standard deviations (0.4”, 0.13”, etc) were so low…everyone got heavy rain and not just folks under a thunderstorm.

We should expect a “flood wave” coming down the Fox and Des Plaines Rivers from the rain up in Wisconsin. We also got a lot of rain locally so the river levels have risen into flood stage and will probably stay there for awhile as water keeps draining out of Wisconsin.

Everything is saturated. Depressions, ponds, lakes ditches are full. Groundwater is high everywhere. Sump pumps will be going crazy. It’s not just your house that is experiencing high water.

Dry, but cloudy today, tomorrow, and Friday. More storms for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

What a shitshow. Fuck you, Mother Nature. May and April have been cold, rainy, and generally miserable.

May has generally been miserable from what I can remember over the last 5-6 years....
Last year, summer didn't really even start until July 1.
This sucks.

I saw that about 3.5" of rain is "normal" for May.

However 2018 set the Chicago record at over 8", then 2019 beat that, and now 2020 beat that, with 10 days to go. "Shitty May" with the 3-peat.
