clintbeed1993 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Storms are blowing up out west of Hastings right now. Already forming a line. They are already warned as well. I think they could make it to Eastern Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintbeed1993 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Already have 0.60 of an inch of rain in Hastings. We also had pea sized hail. More storms forming to the South and West! This is a really nice redemption for last weekend. Hoping the storms make it to Lincoln and Omaha. I think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been raining for a good two hours and precip continues to add up. No severe weather but maybe I get lucky this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakemetoMontana Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 For you guys. Looks like omaha gets missed yet again by the bulk of it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ended up with 2.30" in town. Some reports north of town was anywhere from 2-4". Just a wonderful rain too, it wasn't pushed by much wind and it didn't all come at once. I haven't seen one puddle of rain sitting in fields meaning this was a great soaking rain.

Andie Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 We're getting a good deal of warming and southerly winds with 80's all week. So clearly were setting things up for any cold front that slams into that warm most air. DFW sits in the middle of the warning area so I'm hoping our number isn't up. I can do without large hail and wind damage. But we've dodged the bullet for a long time, so we'll just have to see.

Andie Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Texas drought is quite real and we are behind this year too, despite a beautiful 72* sunny day I'd happily trade it for a week of downpours. I think this cool week is our last cool period. Saturday brings u s 90*. So spring is almost over for us. Here comes the heat. This is just south of me at Grandbury Lake.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I feel for you Andie. I have read some of the stories of the Texas drought and it sounds very familiar here. We have had some nice rains in places and others have been missed. The showers should sink into the soil. It was 36 degrees this morning when I went to school, social studies teacher, and it was a combination of sleet pellets and snow. Just finished a heavy shower with 40 MPH winds, not the nicest of days here in the Central Plains. It is so green here I can't believe it, though. Hope an el nino pattern develops south southern and central plains this fall and winter, it is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far this month I have seen all kinds of precip including 1.1" of rain since last night. Two weeks ago I saw what would have been 6" of snow if it wasn't for melting. We are getting the start to spring we badly need; hope it continues for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 We've officially had less than 2.5" of rain this year. If we don't get it by the first week of June were sunk till Fall. I'm afraid the summer we had a few years ago is about to repeat itself. Extreme heat and no rain, followed by wildfires.

Jaycee Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Andie if anyone knows how that feels it's us. Folks in the upper Midwest just don't understand how nasty a drought is. It sucks, by far the worst form of weather. I really hope things turn around for you down there, I love Texas and i know that summer down there with the lack of precipitation you're experiencing now is devastating. I think you guys will have a big month of may though that will ease the pain alot! As Tom has been saying, the CFS has been drenching the Plains run after run, and with an El Nino Texas usually does pretty well hope for the best Andie! You guys got spoiled with some severe weather in May last year if I'm not mistaken, so I'd be surprised if you don't get a hefty dosage of something soon! CPC looks good too for most of the Plains, and GFS hinting at another monster CO Low this upcoming weekend! http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814prcp.new.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I like the look of that map ! Time to get the fertilizer out ! It's pretty grim here, but the cool temps have kept it tolerable. Any projections of amount of rainfall? Also, how strong does the El Niño picture look. I haven't been keeping up lately s I've been doing a good deal of writing and spring duties. A wet fall/winter would be awesome.

A wet fall/winter would be awesome. Should be a fairly strong El Nino. It may not be very strong this summer, but it is expected to get stronger as the year progresses. I still think the southern jet will be strong enough to give you guys in the Southern Plains a stormy late spring and summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 That's all good news for us. We need it. What about the rest of the drought stricken nation ? Seems in areas it has intensified. The destruction must be overwhelming. Is this a cyclical pattern or simply the result of some random condition? I'm very concerned about our farming areas and California.

CentralNebWeather Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow, haven't been checking weather the last couple of days and just saw we are in a frost advisory. Temp is 56 degrees with a 22 degree dewpoint and 26% relative humidity. For as cool as the last 4 days have been can't believe how thick my yard was last night when I mowed. The lawn service hasn't even put the initial application down yet, so who knows what it will be when that kicks in and warmer temps arrive over the weekend.
