CentralNebWeather Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Spoke too soon. Dew just jumped to 77. This is the highest heat index I’ve seen here in years. Stationary cold front 30 miles northwest of me. Unfortunately, atmosphere is capped. Very small chance of storms this evening. Not holding my breath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Clinton Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I found a great way to beat the heat today and that was to put myself in a spring fed river. Southern Missouri is very dry with pretty much everything burned up but the weather here has been fantastic this weekend with highs around 90 and lower humidity than back home. Here's a few pics from today's trip. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaker hoses work well if you don’t have a sprinkle system. Water deep. Then keep moisture consistent. It’s a good idea every summer if you don’t get enough rain. Texans learned to do this eons ago. Hang in there. Good luck. 3 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Andie Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Drought has hit its next level. I’ve been invaded by fire ants seeking water. In the yard and in my kitchen! This is one of the curses of summer here. If you don’t poison your property, which pisses me off, you’ll be invaded. I hit it around my foundation and scan frequently for signs. The golf course has hit a serious dry point, so they’re going farther afield. 97* headed for 100.

Tom Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hello from the out skirts of the Great Salt Lake! We arrived just before 6:00pm local time and took us just about 11 hours from the PHX area. Gosh, it was quite the journey up here and I forgot how tiring it can get driving non stop while only stopping for gas. I drove up hwy 89 in between the mountain ranges soaking up the scenic views and driving through the small mountain towns along the valleys. It was a reminder how beautiful this country is out west and the fact that there are still people who live out in these small farm town communities. Plenty of farmers growing hay, cattle and such that live off the land. I'd love to spend some time here in the Winter when the mountains are snow capped. The Wasatch mountains to my east are impressive as they tower thousands of feet up in the air. We plan on driving up into Park City, UT for a day or two and enjoy the mountain lifestyle. Today, our plan is to spend a relaxing day at Crystal Hot Springs and soak in the mineral spa. https://www.crystalhotsprings.net/home/ It contains the highest mineral content in any hot springs in the world! In a 24 hour period, 940,000 lbs of minerals is carried to the surface with 2.3 million gallons of hot water that comes up from 8,000 ft below. Fascinating stuff right there. On another note, it appears N IL got socked by heavy rains to the SW of MBY. This morning may bring another round of heavy rains a bit farther north. Looks like a splendid week of weather once the rains pass to the south. It's going to be pretty hot out here with highs in the low 90's and clear skies through Wed before the Monsoon fires up Thu through the weekend. Have a great Monday! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I'm really liking where the pattern is heading for the month of August. Those east of say, IA/MO region are going to have a wonderful week of weather. The following week is when some massive changes are brewing due to a significant spike in the +PNA signal. This could very well be a clue in the weeks and months ahead on how the models will behave in forecasting the extended range. In any case, the EPS just did something wild and traps a deep trough underneath a Canadian 500mb ridge. So much blocking showing up in and around our Continent. This could be the welcomed signal that @Andie @Iceresistanceand folks in the Plains have Long awaited. My gut feeling and personal opinion is this mid/late month cooling trend for the central US has a legit chance of verifying. 0z EPS 500mb Week 2 animation... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
