Stormy Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 What a beautiful day though! It’s only 80° currently with a dew of 66°. Feeling nearly perfect IMO, but perfect would be a heavy t. storm right now! lol Yesterday was the transition day with a high of 87°. The lawns are showing a hint of brown already.

OKwx2k4 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I guess this would constitute that 2 week warm-up I was talking about. Next 5 will be pretty soupy for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 The euro has now removed all rain here Tuesday. The next small chance is next weekend. One hope in the long term is the tropical system. The euro continues to track it farther west. Last night's run brings the remnant low up through Iowa. That's a long way off, though.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 My area in in another Flash Flood Watch for this evening. Several inches of rain on top of saturated soil won’t help the fields in the area that have standing water. My yearly precipitation is now at 28.25”, (normal for the entire year is 25”), so if we get a couple inches we jump over 30”. Absolutely amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Not a big rain event so far, but nice clouds. I find. It interesting when I get to see the clear blue sky peek through the clouds. It's reassuring to know that behind all that active weather, there's clear blue waiting for us. Makes me want to jump through the hoop.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Getting rocked here again. Reports coming in of 5-8” of rain already fallen just west of me in Gosper and Dawson county. Fields will probably be destroyed in this area if they weren’t already from the other night. I had .50” in 15 minutes this afternoon now we’ll over an inch with much more coming. Just placed in flash flood warning for potentially 3-5 more inches. Mercy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Prayers for you all up there. Sounds like a rough night.Thank you so much. This is like 1993. It is raining as hard as it can rain right now. Fields had standing water yesterday so I can’t even imagine what things will look like tomorrow morning. Radar looks like several more hours at least of heavy rain. Town of Elm Creek, 20 miles north of me along I80, needs sand baggers to save some businesses from what the scanner is reporting. Have heard reports of over 8” with more rain coming. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear of 10”+ in spots by morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 There is a guy on Twitter that listens to the scanner and tweets out great information. Water rescues happening all over. Reports of fairly widespread 5-9”and it is still pouring in most places. Still hearing reports of a family stranded in their house in Kearney but rescue personnel haven’t found a way to get to them. I guess the father is disabled and they have small children. Things il never thought I would be hearing on the Great Plains. The last time I looked at my gauge it had over 5”. A few miles north of town there are reports of 9”. Most i seen reported was 10” south of Lexington. Wow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thinking of you folks over there. Wow that's tough! Be safe tonight!Thanks. We are in a good spot in town.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 NWS Hastings along with various media reporting many roads are impassable as of 12:30 AM. Highway 30, a major east west road, is impassable for almost 20 miles west of Kearney towards Lexington. Scanner now reporting that a car is completely underwater on the south Holdrege underpass and are hoping the occupants got out. Have to bring a diver. Unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintbeed1993 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Same areas that have gotten pounded over and over lately got it again tonight.

Looks like the a you may need an Ark around here it’s raining so hard. My goodnessIt seems like this year is feast or famine. Not long ago, it wasn't looking good as far as precip but when nature turns it "on", she certainly can pour buckets from the sky. Hope you and your family are doing well out there. Flash Flooding is extremely dangerous, especially during the overnight hours. It's always sad to hear of water rescues and you hope lives are not lost. Hang in there bud. Btw, I can imagine what the fields look like along I-80 as I remember when I drove through there a few years ago. The whole area must look like a huge lake now.

East Dubzz Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I always find it funny how quickly things start to dry out after just a few days of no rain.
