jaster220 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Its been a wacky thunderstorm season thus far. Whenever I see a good line of storms racing eastward towards my area, they tend to suddenly fizzle out as they arrive in SEMI. I guess too much dry air ova the region. Me thinks Omaha peeps quietly smuggled their dome across the state line! While E Nebraska peeps keep getting hit, this map for tomorrow plays like a broken record for mby. I added that red hatching to high-lite the dearth zone of T-storms. Futility records are in jeopardy around here for Severe storms. I can't even remember the last one we had, so it must be like three summers ago. 2010-2014 were a string of active years, then it's been like a light switch was thrown. Seriously, we need some moisture, and in the summer the only chance is convection around here. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 52.8" (89% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.1 Apr: 0.0 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = xx.x" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Here is the video of the approaching shelf cloud from last night. If you pause it at about 24 seconds and towards the end at 58 seconds you can see it. Might take a couple of times to do it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycee Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The lightning was pretty incredible. Had quite a few strikes that made the explosion noise that you can hear almost the instant you see the flash of lightning. We got hammered pretty good. Wasn't too bad with wind but I love those types of storms anyways so I couldn't complain. Don't think we'll see much today, but tomorrow looks pretty dang good for another severe weather outbreak! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
