The sky has quickly cleared, so maybe we can get a bit of heating.For the first time this summer, you got more rain than me in Cedar Rapids. I got 0.82 inches on the NE side of CR. Skies are rapidly clearing so storms are likely later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Paul Storm Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 What a complete dud of a storm up this way. All week it looked like 1-2” was a sure bet.

jaster220 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 CF coming today for mby will definitely cool off temps a bit. Highs Tuesday and Wednesday in the 70s and 50s for lows. Some upper 40s could be possible. Hopefully we get some nice t'stm activity today. Current temp is in the mid 70s w dp in the upper 60s to near 70. Soupy indeed. Just got a quick heavy downpour w lightning and thunder. Felt good to see MA Nature provide some free water for my lawn. Another top notch morning here, a bit cooler than yesterday, temps are in the upper 50's along with light winds. Beautiful sunrise. Well, looks like all the models are on board for a widespread soaker through the weekend. @ Jaster and our MI Peeps, here's your best chance for an appreciable rainfall this entire summer! Sounds crazy, but that's just how its been this season for you guys. Hope you get hit good bc I think precip chances for the rest of this month look minimal. 00z Euro...

Hoosier Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you are to believe the JMA weeklies, and they have been rock steady on a cooler pattern, say good bye to any heat for the majority of our sub forum. Although, I can imagine some parts of the Plains can see the ridge fight back from the SW at times, but nothing sustained throughout the rest of summer. Everything is falling into place for an awesome 2nd half of summer. I think it's safe to say, that the MW/GL's region just waved good bye to the 90's until next year....the placement of the 2 big blocking patterns (W/SW and in SE Canada) create a near perfect alignment for a trough smack dab in the middle of the nation.

For Chicago, only a dozen years had no 90s after July, and most of those years didn't have anywhere near the number of 90 degree days that ORD has already seen up to now. Won't have 90s anytime soon, but I could certainly envision another surge of heat sometime in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially heart-breaking when it's family peeps out for a little R&R summer fun. Tragedy strikes on it's own terms tho despite our best efforts to stay alert and in the case of wx, to issue warnings. This same thing happened during the July of '95 derecho when I lived in Traverse.
