St Paul Storm Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 ^ that looks like a Sunday mess up this way. Not sure we need any more rain. I thought about throwing some fertilizer down as I’m in the middle of taking my lawn back from the weeds, but then I thought “do I really want to cut the grass 3X a week? Twice is more than enough.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I’ll post some pics of the storm once I have time. I’m guessing the wind was 50 to 60+ mph, but my anemometer didn’t show high enough for some reason. The anemometer that’s only 5’ high showed a bit higher wind than the one that’s 38’ up. First time it did that. The storm appeared to be at max intensity in eastern Iowa county just before it got here.Here are some pictures of the storm rolling in. I’m surprised that the NWS didn’t have a warning for this storm. I picked up another 0.70” of rain this morning. It hailed a little twice, but it was pretty small. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Per Ryan Maue's tweet, the Euro is showing a nice dry signal for the northern half of the ag belt region. I'm afraid our members farther south are going to be beating the ol' drum with torrential rains as these CF's keep sliding in from the north and likely stalling out. FREAK OUT !!

Outside of a localized hail storm that mostly missed my neighborhood during the early morning hours (thankfully), it has been fairly quiet severe weather-wise in "most" of the Omaha metro area so far this year (outside of river flooding of course). I have yet to see a truly photogenic thunderstorm roll into Omaha yet this year, we have lots of lightning and thunder during the overnight hours, however I am still looking forward to seeing some threatening skies in the day-time hours around here this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wasn’t expecting the rain and storms we got the last two days and just happen to get lucky multiple times this year, or very unlucky if you’re a crop farmer in this area! I can’t remember a year that so many fields are still not planted on June 6!! Usually there’s a small window to plant even in the wettest springs, but.... There were opportunities to plant in April, but it was plenty early for the many organic farmers in this area who need to plant untreated seeds which don’t easily survive wet cold soils we had lot of! Farmers are getting desperate is my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 I spent the majority of afternoon yesterday outdoors at my friends pool and then we did some grilling on his deck. What a splendid day of weather as we topped out around 83F which was the highest temp of the warm season. That's incredible in itself to say that by early June we've only reached the low 80's a few times! Who knows how many times we'll top 90F this Summer, if any, but I'm seeing numerous days in the 70's and barely getting to 80F in the extended. Well, the JMA Weeklies are in and they haven't changed much for the remainder of this month. Week 2 temps...a wetter period will develop during the 2nd half of the month and I like what it's showing here. http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R07_2/Y201906.D0512_gl2.png http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R07_2/Y201906.D0512_gl0.pngWeek 3-4... http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R14_3/Y201906.D0512_gl2.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 The weekend is trending better and better around these parts as the Euro is now keeping the region nearly precip free with temps hovering near 80F all weekend.

Tom Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Another run by the Euro, whereby, it's suggesting a piece of the Summer time vortex to swing through the GL's next week. I thought this would be happening in July, but the pattern is becoming favorable earlier than I originally thought. 12z EPS is not backing down and showing major blocking up north and stout -NAO...that is a map you would see in the heart of winter. Just fascinating stuff if this pans out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are obviously gone now.Yeah I got home from work early today to do some yard work after being out of town in Kansas City to start the week. I was glad that we missed out on the initial activity this afternoon, as I was able to get everything done - even with distant thunder from some thunderstorm activity off to the south booming nearly the entire time I was in the backyard. However once I got done, all of the activity that looked to move in from the northeast died off so we did not see a single drop of rain in my neighborhood, while areas just to my northeast and south appeared to get quite a downpour. Oh well, the soil in my yard is still damp and muddy in places, so it was not a big deal to miss out on more rain at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 78F/60F with a nice easterly breeze and not a cloud in the sky. Absolute perfection. Finally got to do a lot of yard work, pulling weeds, trimming the edges, raking the "helicopters" that come off my tree every Spring and a bunch of other stuff. Carbon copy tomorrow. Gotta soak in these wonderful days as much as possible. My neighborhood has been quite active the last couple days with outdoor duties. I'm sure tomorrow will be the same.

OKwx2k4 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Forecast high of 85° today is highest temperature I have until maybe the last day of the 00z GFS run. I'm pretty impressed by that. Days over 85°F here in 2019: 2; One at 85° and one day at 87°. Models also not being shy about trending back to the wetter pattern in the later periods. This is pretty likely and works well with the existing pattern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
