Niko Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 See GRR's write up on the historically low amount of severe warnings for SWMI for the past two years. I said before that this has been the most bi-polar two year wx pattern I can recall and I'll be glad to see it go tbh. As for today..so far, I'm at a pathetic .03" on the day and I thought this would be the better of the 3-day "rain event". And I use that term loosely http://www.uswxforums.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wacko.pngMy area is closing in at the "Abnormally Dry" level.

jaster220 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sigh... Looks like today's turning total turd as well leaving mby with somewhere around .3" of rain for the entire weekend. Once again, a decent line formed just beyond Marshall heading SW around the CCW rotation and that large blob of steady rainfall over SEMI just dissipated as is approached from the NE.

james1976 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Interesting read from DMX:The large scale evolution and features remain consistent withprior thinking with the subtropical high centered over thesouthwest US and a deepening large-scale upper trough over theUpper Midwest and Great Lakes. The upper trough will beunseasonably strong for late July resembling an upper air patternmore typical of September. The 12 UTC ECMWF/GFS operational runsare in fairly good agreement with the large scale features overthe Upper Midwest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Finally, I'm delighted to see the sun this morning after 3 straight days of clouds, rain and damp weather. It seriously felt like mid/late Sept, esp yesterday when the northerly winds picked up off the lake. Looking forward to another top notch week of summer weather along with abundant sunshine. Wish we had received more rain from the weekend system, nonetheless, I think for some of you in MI did quite well. Could we score another widespread, autumn-like system?? Ensembles are showing a system developing over the Plains and tracking E/NE up towards the OV/GL's late this week into the weekend. Somewhat resembles a "cutter" type system we see in the cold season. As odd as this season has been, I wouldn't doubt we see something similar as it fits the cyclical pattern. There's no doubt that places across KS/MO will be in a good position to get a healthy drink later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still at a 68 dew as of 7:40 am with a temp of 68 but highs only look to be low 80’s. Local Mets are saying that when this system comes through with multiple rain chances, there could be a day or 2 stuck in the 60’s for highs. It is our county fair this week which normally brings out the hottest weather of the summer, but this week might just give us some relief from this hot and humid pattern of the last 2 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 00z GEFS and NWS WPC, are in agreement that ample rains are to fall right by months end, in the drought stricken regions of KS/MO. Pattern recognition working out quite well as we see the flow get suppressed, which, is happening during the time of year when the jet stream is at its weakest!

Had a brief shower that passed through around 9am this morning, however everything went around the Omaha metro as well. It looked decent earlier as a small line of storms fired up just to our north, however as the sun went down and they moved south they dissipated into nothing.

Tom Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Rise and Shine! Happy Friday! Another week that has gone by in a flash this summer. As the sun begins to rise on this delightful morning, temps are hovering in the low 60's across the urban areas and mid 50's out in the burbs under clear skies. One of the better mornings this summer that's for sure. Nice cool air mass and a refreshing one. Glad to hear that most on here are enjoying the pattern change. While temps have cooled around these parts, we need the moisture as I am beginning to see more stress on the lawns. The ground is actually showing some big cracks. After taking a look at the latest 00z GEFS....say what??!! TX Pan Handle hook in late July??? One of the more odd looking storm tracks I've seen in the summer...but I'll take it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
