July 2019 Observations and Discussion


Tom

Recommended Posts

Nice steady rain with some embedded thunder this morning in SW Omaha. Of course, here in Omaha we once again missed out on the really heavy rain and stronger thunderstorms to the south and southwest overnight and this morning.

 

I am not going to complain about getting some much needed moisture. Up to .60 so far today and still some more rain to come, current temp is a comfortable 69 degrees... it’s nice giving the AC a break for once.

NE and KC region getting some beneficial rains and it looks like @CentralNeb is under another Flood Advisory along with both the LNK/KC area. It's nice to see those who have been missing out on the recent rains get a chance to catch up on what has been a long dry spell.

You’re correct Tom, some flood advisories in the region with heavy rain overnight and continuing rain this morning. We joked that we hadn’t had a rain in over 10 days since our previous flooding rain and we get more. The rain in my area town hasn’t been flooding type rains, just moderate to at times heavy rain. If you can harvest a crop this year you should make some money. Unfortunately, many farmers have lost a lot of acres with floods or hail.

These all look "Captain Obvious" stuff, except ofc the sheets in your freezer. Seriously?? Mines full of food and besides, they could at least say "in a bag" as peeps could just take it literally.  :lol:  As is, would stay cooled for about 5 seconds anyways, unless they meant to put them in wet straight from the washing machine, lol

Seriously, did the weather service summer intern write that? Lol. That’s ridiculous.

That’s much better than the 0.06” of rain I got! It’s really dry, but at least it cooled off a lot!

If you have no ac available, you try anything that can possibly cool you off, even if its putting your sheets in the freezer. This will not cool you off all night, but at least it will make you fall asleep more comfortably. You just gotta remember to put your sheets into a plastic sealed bag and pop them in the freezer for a few minutes. Also, make sure the bag is sealed tightly, so you don't let any moisture get into sheets. I did it once in Greece in my vacation home (Andros Island, NE of Athens), where my ac broke outta nowhere. There, the heat is dry, no humidity, but, still it can be quite warm at night sometimes. Usually, the mountain across from my house brings down a cool wind, but that is not always the case.

In BC attm and have serious rain falling on a NNE wind. Temps in mid 70's. Whole other season in 24 hrs. This is the 3rd noice Rainer from a SLP tracking just south of us. Preview of winter or just more off-season teasing? Would like to think its the first one.

SE michigan got hit pretty hard with those line of storms yesterday. thousands lost power when a trampoline flew into a substation

Now that's a crazy one right there! I'm guessing those were the stronger cells that got warned up around Saginaw Bay? Didn't see too much south of that reach warning level. Nothing here did after the Friday overnight line. 

 

@ Niko

You gettin any of that rain over your way? Scored about 0.5" here in Marshall. A pleasant surprise after getting missed by both Friday and Saturday's heavy storms.

My band played Rock Fest outside of Cadott WI yesterday. On our way up we drove right into that line of storms. We were just east of Rochester MN when we drove into it. We had to pull off. Crazy wind and torrential rain. From there on up we saw some trees down and a few road signs down. Definitely got hit hard up there. Cleared off by mid afternoon and the weather was beautiful after that!

Had a high of just 81° today, or yesterday now. lol Felt great!

 

I saw in my records that 3 years ago today the max dew was 84° and the H.I. 126°!! Highest I have ever seen it on my station. And 2 years ago it was up to 83° dew before an awesome supercell moved over and just north of my place.

You can really tell who got hit and who missed out on the action this past weekend.  The majority of our IA members did not fair well as well as parts of N IL.  That red dot in NE IL is right over my back yard so I won't complain for a nice, dry week of weather that's in the forecast all week long.

Nothin major buddy, just a brief hvy downpour w a gust of wind (which was about 25 to 30mph) and ended very abruptly. Probably did not even get .25". All the hvy stuff was south of my area.

Finally received some good rains in KC, I got hit, however, some parts of the area still missed out. Most of the June days were dry here, July has been the same. We did have big amounts on a few June days and a few July days, but, those rains came hard and fast. We have had to water quite often down here. Not a wet pattern so far this summer in my opinion.

 

Where do we go from here? Looks like a beautiful, but dry week ahead. Much cooler temps....GFS suggesting heat comes back for the KC area starting this coming weekend. Will it be a hot August??

About to do some Weber Grillin’ on this stunning Monday afternoon. It’s only 73F with a nice NNE wind coming off the lake. Sorta reminds me of a mid Sept-like day, esp with the start of football camp around the corner.

Need to watch that ridge build in next month which was my pre-season risk. You really have to consider it esp with a La Niña base state and the ENSO conditions cooling off this summer. I’m guessing near normal around the GL’s/MW but warmer risks farther west/south. Not sure it gets as cool the CFSv2 is suggesting.

90* high for the next two days. I may break out the parka.

I just love these Texas summer cool fronts.

The DFW area may see no 100* days in July this year. Has happened 22 times in last 120 yrs.

 

The last year was 2007, then 1992 and 1989. I recall ‘92 and it was very rainy as well.

With the heat last Friday, there is now a 170F spread in the ‘feels like’ temp at MSP this year. Wind chill of -55F on Jan 30 and a heat index of 115F on July 19. Actual temp spread is 123F. Not too many places in the world get that big of an extreme. The beauty of the Midwest USA.

Any idea what the record is for either of these is? Just curious.

My state once did a span of -31F (all-time state record low) to over 80F in the span of a week back in the end of Jan to Feb 2011.

 

I don't know about in one year but almost sure interior Montana has the record for temperature range overall. Something like -58 to 110+ actual temps. I used to know a website to check these.

 

Edit:187 degree span all time. -70F to 117F

After the cool spring we had July has surprised me on how warm it has been. For what it is worth the string of 80 or better at Grand Rapids and Lansing has ended at 27 days. As far as I can tell this is one of the longest string of 80 or better days for Grand Rapids. The longest I can find was 52 in 1921. 47 in 1988 and 34 in 1947. as of this morning Grand Rapids July’s mean is 76.1° and that is good for a departure of +4.1° If this carried out to the end of the month that would be good for 11th all-time warmest July at GR. In the last 10 years GR has had 2012 (79.2°) in 2nd place 2011 (77.0°) in 6th place and 2010 (75.5°) in 13th place. We will know in 9 days how July 2019 ends up.
