July 2019 Observations and Discussion

[East Dubzz]

Looks like maybe the northern part of this has gained a little strength on the front edge?

[East Dubzz]

If it doesn't ruin our chance for rain tonight, I would actually be okay with just getting some of that moderate rainfall. Would be much better for the garden / grass.

[james1976]

Nothing severe but nice thunder goin on with a steady rain. Looking at radar I like that line in NW IA. Hope it blossoms

[Hawkeye]

Southern Iowa definitely getting the worst of this line.

[Iowawx]

Wind is going pretty good here, maybe 35-40mph. Skies are getting really dark. Line should be in my area within the next 10 minutes or so. 

[Jaycee]

Almost guarantee it’ll dissipate by the time it gets here — would love a good rain though omg it’s so dry

[Iowawx]

Rain coming down pretty good here. Not much in the way of severe weather, but the rain is really nice. 

 

HRRR shows the redevelopment up to the northwest sliding down into the area later this afternoon into this evening. 

[james1976]

Down to 73°. Not disappointed by that.

[East Dubzz]

Looking like the northern edge of rain may fall apart before it gets here. If it's going to do that, I hope it doesn't rain at all. A light rain would do me no good.

Could happen, but I don't even know if it's worth looking at the HRRR. I don't remember the last time that model did well with storms around here.

[Hawkeye]

The line began to break up a bit as it passed through.  I've only picked up a couple tenths.  I was one of the big winners last evening, so any additional rain today is good.

[Stormy]

This really blows that the wider line is just missing to my sw! It’s about to rain now.

[Andie]

Highs of 98* and lows of 77* for the next five days. Zzzzz

 

The weekend may see a high of 92 with a 20% chance of rain.

Boring.

[Stormy]

Yikes, a close lightning strike just now.

[james1976]

2nd round will be out of here by 4pm the way its moving. Maybe that will give time for some heating and redevelopment.

[CentralNebWeather]

This humidity is disgusting. 74 dew here and dews are close to 70 in the Nebraska Panhandle which is very uncommon. I see Omaha has hit 76 dew and KC 78. I just don’t see how people can live with this type of humidity for long stretches of time. I guess if you live in the tropics you are close to water.

[Iowawx]

Some nice looking, but non-severe storms are redeveloping in Tama county and are moving towards the Cedar Rapids area.

[james1976]

Is that an outflow boundary I see setting up ft dodge to Spencer area? Or an I seeing something else?

[james1976]

2nd round just moved in. Heaviest rain today by far.

[St Paul Storm]

MPX had a special balloon launch for the severe potential. Very strong cap in place here with impacts downstream. What was once a very good potential has turned into a dud. Good luck to the rest of you.

[Stormy]

I’m guessing barely a 0.20” here. I’m hoping this causes tonight’s possible convection to be further south, or in my area. I’m really getting shafted the last few days and weeks!

[Hawkeye]

The new development west of Cedar Rapids should mostly miss south.

I don't see anything.

[East Dubzz]

The northern edge of this has really diminished... but it's going to rain just enough so I can't cut the grass, won't it?

[Minny_Weather]

Hello from Toledo!

 

Had on-and-off showers over the past few days and a couple rumbles of thunder yesterday from Barry. Friday and Saturday, we could see our first back-to-back 100s since 1988. Fun stuff to move into here to. More pleasant weather will rear its head next week, at least. 89.6*F.

[Niko]

Just saw my 10 day forecast and man, it looks down right HOT for Friday and Saturday w both days flirting w triple digit temps, especially Friday. HI in spots could approach 110F.

Yikes, a close lightning strike just now.

One time I remember looking out my office window during a really strong thunderstorm and suddenly this lightning came so close to my window that I literally jump couple of feet away. Thats how much it startled me.

My location will be hotter here than where you are. How about that!  Near 100F for 2 straight days and then cooling off in the 70s for highs next week. Cannot wait for that relief. It will feel awesome. Lows will be in the 50s.

[East Dubzz]

And there it is.... light rain, but just enough so I can't cut the grass.

 

[Jaycee]

That was literally us yesterday! It was like drizzling all day but still like 87 degrees out, literally the worst combination ever!

[St Paul Storm]

Sun’s out now. Forecast still calling for possible severe storms (although delayed due to the IA stuff from earlier) and 1-2” of rain.

[OKwx2k4]

DP is over 70 with a RH of 59. My AC is overloaded. Pumping water instead of air. Come on nighttime.

I know how you feel. This was me everytime I thought about mowing after June started.

[jcwxguy]

Possible tornado in delmont, sd early this morning (my in-laws I've there), tons of damage, trees uprooted and sidewalks damaged.

[james1976]

Storms are popping across N IA

[Iowawx]

I have gotten 0.37" of rain so far today. That brings my total since yesterday to 1.44". I hope I can add to that tonight,  but still waiting to see how things set up. 

[Hawkeye]

There's a 40º difference in heat index between se NE/sw IA and here.  It's awful out west.

[Stormy]

Yeah to bad I didn’t get a strong storm. JUST 0.16” is all. Wow that was a tiny shower! Seems like these big lines just don’t deliver like they used to years ago. I’m really not confident on any storms tonight and the NWS isn’t either, and no one really knows.

[Stormy]

That slight risk area in eastern Mo. was pretty accurate with all the storms down there.

[Bryan1117]

Current conditions at the Millard Airport here on the southwestern side of Omaha at 4:55pm - which is about one mile from where I live...

 

97 air temp

80 dewpoint 

Heat Index of 118!!! 

 

It absolutely feels like a sauna outside, to all you lucky ducks out east that got some rain and storms today... this is what you are missing and I bet you are jealous LOL.
