Iowawx Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I just got 0.10" in about 5 minutes from a strong, but fast moving storm. I hope we can get some more storms to move through here this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 So I guess this is it for rain chances from this system? NWS point forecast dropped my rain chances this evening from 60% to 10% now. What a joke. Oh well, wasn’t really expecting much anyway, but still was hoping....! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 @central neb it looks bad around your area! I have never heard of that much water standing at the I-80 interchange in Kearney! Glad we didn’t get that much rain but things are drying out around here for sure, I had to water before we got the rain last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Ok Chicago people, my wife and I are coming to your city and will arrive on Thursday! My plan is to have a beach day while on our trip. My question is are coolers and beer allowed on the beach?? Are there places on the beach to have drinks?? If so any suggestions on which beach to go to would be greatly appreciated!

North Ave and Oak St are the most popular. Personally, I like Oak St beach but North Ave has music playing from their restaurant and is the busiest. Both beaches have places you can buy drinks but I think Oak St beach bar is flooded from the high water levels. They are both next to each other so you can prob walk down and take a peak to see which beach suits you best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Milky skies have cleared the area that were caused from Canada's fires. CF coming through should usher in dryer, crip air and that should really clear out the atmosphere w bluer skies. The air will not be terribly cool, but at least it will be much more comfortable and seasonably warm w temps in the low 80s and nighttime lows in the upper 50s. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Tom Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Today's JMA weeklies keep the same pattern rolling on through the rest of July so if you like the heat and humidity it looks like its hear to stay for some time.

I still believe it will towards the end of the month and it may end up being around the last week or so.

The weekend isn't looking as hot as it was being advertised over the past few days around the GL's . That trough swinging through Ontario should keep things a little cooler for us around here, which, by the way, was part of the pattern I had envisioned would cool things down a lot more.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 The damage to businesses, hotels, and restaurants in Kearney is heartbreaking. If you have ever stopped in this town of over 30000 along I80, it seems bigger. My wife and I both graduated from here (University of Nebraska at Kearney, UNK) and my daughter will be a freshman there this fall. For a town it’s size it has a ton of things to offer, it is just 30 minutes from our home in Holdrege. There were places with chest high water. I know that most didn’t have flood insurance so the cleanup will be expensive. As always, some places may not reopen. You still can’t access about 8 hotels and a number of bars/restaurants and other businesses as of this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a shift to more autumn like weather.I’m not to confident about a very cool August and with the E PAC ocean cooling off significantly it certainly adds to the surprise. I’m leaning more towards normal temps and nothing too extreme until we get into Sept when the pattern heads into Autumn quickly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yesterday we received a slam-dunking of a storm.It was brought about by the weak frontal system, but it collided with high humidity and 103* temps.We got 1500 lightning strikes in 15 minutes. That's 100 hits per minute. The sky looked like a laboratory physics experiment. Crackling across the sky all night and slamming towards the ground. Temps dropped 30* in This year, I have been amazed at how electrical all our storms have been. Any comments on this?? We were, however, rewarded with a massive full double rainbow. The most awesome thing I've seen in years. The lower rainbow was a full spectrum of colors. 4 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Maybe another widespread 7-10 day stretch like this one to close out August or open September.That air is going to feel good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
