Clinton Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 With July right on our door step I thought I would fire up a thread. The heat looks to be on for the plains and the south with below normal temps across the Great Lakes. The CPC sees it this way to start July. Precip looks above average across the northern half of the sub, but relief for @Andieis a big question mark. This mornings GFS shows this for precipitation for the first week of the month. The 4th of July will be nice and hot for the plains and the south but the northern plains and Great Lakes could have issues with rain as we celebrate our Independence Day. The year is half over lets hope the 2nd half of the year brings the weather your looking for. Let's discuss. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Starting on the 4th of July, a lot of us in the MW/GL's region are in the "Ring of Fire" zone. The 0z Euro animation below is the quintessential placement of the Ridge that retrogrades west in time. The pattern heading into the middle part of the month is looking quite interesting for the northern half the Sub. Man, this is shaping up to be a fun pattern tracking multiple/daily MCS's or possible Derecho's. 0z UKIE is loaded! #AtmosphericFireworks 0z Euro...not as enthusiastic but the idea is there.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Nice to see the Euro Weeklies continue to trend towards a dominant trough-like pattern for the eastern CONUS mid-late July. Things are shaping up to be pretty good up this way and points east. A new month and an entirely new pattern is shaping up for many on here...Holy WET! #AgBelt #NWFlow...Cooler and Wet across the central AgBelt! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Very briefly had a low of 70 here.. 75 right now and kind of a light soggy haze. Not enough to obscure the view of town. Still waiting to see what June's rainfall was in Ashland, but looks like 5.25" fell in May. I would estimate around half that fell (or less) in the last month.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Getting very dry around here. Lots of misses recently by a county or so. Corn and soybeans look good as irrigation is in full swing. Yards that have sprinkler systems look good, but the rest are struggling. With the horrendous economy, I think people are trying to save money any way they can, and possibly not watering is one way. Our town has stopped watering at the parks and at other city properties.

Times are rough for sure. This subject always surprises me. Here our town is 25k population so lots of businesses and folks well off, plenty that are economically challenged as well. We basically see ZERO WATERING. Except maybe new lawns that have been seeded. We mow 170 customers and one is a 90 acre govt contract. 1 restaurant did water before covid, no more. On avg our summers are green with a few weeks burned up. But some years like 2012, 2013, 2017 and probably 2022 lawns are burned to a crisp for months! Even crops despite months of 1 inch or so and temps either side of 100f zero irritating. Maybe 1% along some rivers. Why? Whats the nations obsession with watering? Or better yet.

Hawkeye Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I had my hopes up for possible heavy rain next week, but models are trending north with the ring-of-fire action. Monday had looked like a big day for Iowa, but now most models show MN/WI/MI. Southern Iowa may get little or nothing all week. I hope some of it can bleed down here.

The pleasant weather ends Sunday as dews surge into the 70s Monday and remain there all week. We'll see if this is a trend or just a blip in the modeling. My experience in these type of situations is for the storms to fire up farther south than what they are modeled to be. Storms love to track south and closer to the higher temps/DP's. On the positive side, it does appear that Fireworks displays on Monday may escape the storm threat around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
