Clinton Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 There was some 6-10 inch rainfall amounts just off to my southeast last night. There was certainly a lot of moisture in the air for the storms to work with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hello from the “Valley of the Sun!” Took a last minute trip out west for a couple weeks and take some road trips. Some views of the plane ride over the mountains of the SW…the lighter color of the shoreline of the lake below shows how much water has receded. The towering Thunderhead was a cool shot from 30,000ft+ in the air. IMG_1995.MOV 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 The Monsoon seasons has been incredible thus far for the state of AZ. 95% of the valley has received over 1" of rain which is AN through this period of the season. There is a LOT more to come. The pattern is going to fire back up this weekend and then again the following weekend. I'm excited to capture some pictures while I'm out here and some videos. One thing I noticed right away while flying over the mountains was how lush and green they looked from up top. That was not the case when I left here back in the Spring. Very early yesterday morning morning there was a massive cluster of strong storms that erupted over the valley around 3:00am local time that swept the valley from East to West causing flooding and wind damage. The high temp was a very cool 93F (106F is Normal). Heading up into the low 100's today and its quite humid...it's like I never left the soupy air from back home. Of note, current DP at Scottsdale is 70F...make it a Fantastic Friday! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 It's going to be a hot sticky weekend around here with highs in the 90s and heat index values near 110. I am head into the Ozarks on a float trip this weekend. I'll be on the Current River which is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Next week brings a cold front with rain and cooler temperatures, highs look to me in the low to mid 80s. Looking forward to the drier and more refreshing air. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 The rain has shut off around here the last week. The humidity trudges on, unfortunately. We will hope for some rainfall from Saturday night through Monday night, though chances aren’t high. If we don’t get anything, it looks dry for another week after. It is not uncommon for us to go an entire month of August and have little to no rain. Dryland crops probably need another couple of rains to have a good yield. Irrigated crops look amazing and will be fine. Not much dryland farming in this immediate area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things around here are getting very dry and "crispy." The return of the high heat today and tomorrow is not going to help things at all here locally. I really hope we can squeeze out some decent moisture over the weekend - if not we will be in much deeper trouble. So far a whole 0.22" of rain has fallen in my backyard over the last 3+ weeks - that's pretty dry for this time of the year around here (thankfully the long lasting heatwave predicted by some of the models a few weeks ago did not fully materialize). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO air conditioning Life is hard in parts of Europe right now. Inflation and heat is hammering folks that usually have a pretty high quality of life. The heat is on there. The Ukrainian war is affecting them as well. PS- I’ve been doing deep soaking on all our large plants. 3’ soak. The water bill will be horrendous. Cheaper than replacing mature plants.

MIKEKC Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Its been a warmer than average summer here in KC so far and the next two weeks look quite hot with not much moisture. We're well below average on rainfall since June 1st and the landscape is really stressed. Actually, parts of southern KC are in a D1 drought, much drier on the south side of KC. The northside has caught a few more thunderstorm rounds the last few months... Its summer in KC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Good morning from Milwaukee. At this time it is clear here and the reported temperature is 74 with a DP of 72. I have not been outside yet but it is clear. As for Grand Rapids the official H/L yesterday was 85/70 there was no rain fall and the sun was out 44% of the time. For today the record H/L is 102 in 1918 and the record low of 46 was in 1948 and 1994. Here in Milwaukee the H/L yesterday was 81/64 the record high here was 100 also set in 1918 and the record low was 50 set in 1971. Today looks to be very warm and humid on both sides of the lake. We are going to the Wisconsin State Fair later today so it will be a hot day there. Tomorrow were are going to a Brewers baseball game. There looks like there could be some rain for the game but there is a retractable roof there so that rain will not be a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
