Was planning to wait til almost dark when it's coolest.

Iowawx Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very intense unexpected thunderstorm developed over Cedar Rapids last night. The storm produced very heavy rain and some lighting. I got 0.67 inches of rain from that storm. Special weather statement said that it was only moving at 5mph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very intense unexpected thunderstorm developed over Cedar Rapids last night. The storm produced very heavy rain and some lighting. I got 0.67 inches of rain from that storm. Special weather statement said that it was only moving at 5mph. I was awaken by a rumble of thunder. I checked the radar and saw one tiny cell, the only rain in Iowa, over northern Cedar Rapids. I had to run outside to set up my gauge, put a couple things in the garage, and put out the gutter downspouts. Of course, I only got 0.05" from it while Kennedy high school got 0.75". It's certainly the north side's year. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 If you were wondering just how warm this July has been? Well with just two days to go July 2018 is now tied with 1988 as the 20th warmest July in Grand Rapids recorded history. At Muskegon it is the 10th warmest on record and at Lansing it is tied with 2016 and 1952 for 19 warmest.

Tom Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 It has been a cooler period since about the middle of the month and the next couple days likely to add to the BN temp departures. The last 2 weeks have had broad cooling for the northern tier of our sub forum. As a result, there are pockets of sub normal departures showing up across the Plains/MW regions along with areas of near normal temps. That was the idea as we entered the 2nd half of the month. The Plains turned wet and have beaten down the drought in certain regions...while in others it has grown... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, but boy, are some parts of the Plains going to fry this weekend/next week. Yikes!

OKwx2k4 Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Going to be a beautiful day to close July out. Late modeling shows the heat returning in areas to the north for a few days but I don't see it gaining the persistence this time around like back in late spring and early summer. Rapid model changes over the course of a day or two really. Overall, July fit the bill of a month with something for everyone in our region. I don't mind that too much for a summer month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 If no isolated cells hit us today, this will be my driest July since 2012. However, 2.70" isn't terrible. We could use an inch or two of rain, but it's not really dry. That could change, though, if we soar into the 90s with little or no rain over the next ten days, like the euro has been suggesting.

CentralNebWeather Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I will have to get exact numbers, but most of Central and Southwest Nebraska was above normal and some areas way above normal. Local newspaper had me at 5.5-6.0 inches. Normal is close to 4.0 but many years it is much below this. Sorry to hear about the dry weather in other places.

These maps are spot on Tom. Our airport just reported July precipitation at 5.79. That is very close to my readings at the house. Airport about 1 1/2 miles east of me. Average for July is between 3.5-4.0 though in the summer of 2012 it was .01. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
