Hawkeye Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Unfortunately, all models this evening have pushed the good rain farther east, dropping my yard below to well below 1".

Weather is no different on the short scale, climate on the long. Some cycles are short, some long. Its not chaos. Its balance. It takes a lot of study of the whole picture without any other input to figure at least that out. Predictability will never be perfect. Weather isn't digital. It's fluid. Got to look at bare facts, not opinions. That's all. Not the first drought to happen there. Or in TX. Nowhere near the worst, either. People didn't always have to be scared, lied to, paid or coerced into responsibility and conservation. Maybe that plays a part. Waste and lack of wisdom? Surely not. No one’s scaring me, paying me, or lying to me. Just following the facts and science. Its too bad those on the other side only think it’s all just a big money-making, high level coordinated hoax between top level scientists and even countries around the world, with apparently made up data and flawed research. This is all being done just to make these people rich by asking the god awful evil task of having people take better care of the planet we live on. The horror… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire August 15 - October 15 period is by far my least favorite weather wise. Not much to look forward to until stronger fronts/dynamics arrive later in October. From the standpoint of interesting weather I agree. But as a person who enjoys nice weather, September is my favorite month. In Iowa we typically see prolonged periods of dry weather with very warm days and low humidity and cooler evenings. The weather has been fantastic here lately and after the next couple days it looks to continue. Not to mention the start of football season, which also adds to my love of September and early fall in general. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 81/56 there was no rain fall and the sun was out 98% of the time. The overnight low here both in MBY and at GRR has been 62 and that is the current temperature with some clouds. For today the average H/L is now down to 76/55. The record high of 94 was set in 1931 and 2013 and the record low of 36 was set in 1917 and 1969. The sun rises today at 7:16AM and set at 8:01 PM. It looks to become rather wet for Sunday and Sunday night. After that it looks to reman on the mild side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the amounts of human consumption from Lake Meade or any other western lake. Seems to me that cities in sw usa have grown immensely? Thats alot of water usage. Not to mention, the amount of agriculture that is grown in AZ/So Cal region....Arizona agriculture uses 72% of the entire water supply. Pretty incredible and you wouldn't think that Arizona grows a lot of food, esp down near Yuma. Nearly 2/3's of the nations fruits and veggies are grown in this region. The farmers and ranchers use a lot of water and now they have to cut back another 3% next year. That doesn't include the 18% cuts this year alone. Check your local grocery store and see where the romaine salad comes from among other food. Next year more cuts will be expected and farmers are concerned unless we bring in other modern tech to grow food with less water. Arizona got the lower end of the stick and NOT California and neither did Nevada...gee, I wonder why??? Maybe Politics and MONEY had to do with it? https://www.azfamily.com/2022/08/16/colorado-river-cuts-expected-arizona-other-area-states/ We'll find a solution...I'm confident of this....if all else fails, it'll eventually come from nature when these lakes get filled back up naturally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Woke up around 2:30am today to the sounds of water dripping down the roof tiles...the valley did get a decent soaking and I think Sky Harbor got some decent rains to bump up the official readings. It'll be nice to see PHX bump up their precip stats since that will add to the Monsoon season totals. Earlier yesterday evening, winds picked up as a line of storms fired up kicking up dust across the valley. Kay's influence into the valley was in full effect. I've never experienced a tropical systems effect here in AZ so that will be checked off my bucket list. http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=sel1rad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=75&interval=10&year=2022&month=9&day=9&hour=17&minute=45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OttumwaSnomow Posted September 11, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Awesome event! Kudos @Tom for pointing out my area. Pretty much did exactly what short range models said. Currently 1.04 which is only my 2nd rain over 1 inch since march! And the other was late may a inch fell in 11 minutes! This fell over 5 hours.

westMJim Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Yesterdays official H/L at Grand Rapids was 83/62 that was more typical of a mid July day instead of a mis September day. There was no rain fall and the sun was out 79% of the possible time. The overnight low so far both at GRR and here in MBY was 61 and that is the current temperature. For today the average H/L is now down to 76/55. The record high of 94 was set in 1931 and the record low of a frosty 32 was set in 1943.
