Bryan1117 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 So far just a few sprinkles here… looks like yet another massive bust for my backyard.

If we hadn’t had rain this week, I would have been really upset this evening, though I did laugh at how I was missed in all 4 directions tonight. Just enough to wet the pavement. Kearney to Minden have been hit multiple nights in a row with heavy rains. My daughter was in Kearney tonight and said they got hit with with heavy rains 3 different times in 2 hours. This is going to be the summer of haves and have nots it appears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 I guess I've been gone a couple minutes. I'm very baffled by this dry streak. Extremely bizarre to have a situation where western Nebraska is getting dumped on with precip while the rest of the state is drooling. I got a new puppy a couple months ago that I have to take outside constantly, so in that regard, the warm and dry weather has been very nice. 6 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 20 hours ago, Tom said: Dang, that stinks...how often do you bail hay? Once a season or do you allow it to grow again for another round? Not sure how that process works. You use it to feed your cattle, right? JFYI....Here in my area we bale hay every 4-6 weeks starting in late May and ending in September or October with a total of 4-6 cuttings. I've baled dry hay in November a few times and once in early December. This is one crop we can harvest multiple times per year. In a normal year It a challenge to get hay made without rain so a lot of farmers will bale it partially wet then seal it in a bag or silo, or wrap individual bales in plastic wrap. Hay is most often alfalfa or alfalfa/grass mix here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Ended up with a half inch of rain last night, so my early call of a bust was wrong (for my backyard at least) - however it looks like there were still plenty of areas that got the shaft around here. I am just glad my yard finally got some natural moisture this weekend (looks dry again until late next week). Also thankful that we can now enjoy a couple “cooler” days of refreshing highs in the 70’s. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 82/48. There was no rain fall and there was 52% of possible sunshine. The overnight low here in MBY was 60 and there was 0.01” of rain fall so far. For today the average H/L is 78/57 the record high of 93 was set in 1894, 1933 and 1956 the record low of a chilly 33 was in 1972. The most rain fall of 2.64” fell in 1986. At the current time it is 60 here in MBY with cloudy skies there has been some very light rain that has fallen. There is a good chance of some showers today and also a good chance of several more chances of rain this week. The week will start off on the cool side and then should be close to average for the end of the week. There is no real warm air in the forecast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Until they all dried out by last evening, a few models did show a narrow band of decent rain popping over Cedar Rapids overnight, and that's exactly what happened. I received a nice 0.39". I wish I had left my windows open because I slept through it. 4 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall many many years ago, when I traveled to Poland and remember my uncle and his neighbors bale hay multiple times a year for their cows and farm animals. It's a very community-like feel out there as everyone helps one another and trades for food or supplies. Do you have contracts with vendors to sell your alfalfa? Or is it just for personal use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Hole Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 We've mostly underperformed here in terms of rain the last few days and now that looks to be the case going forwards with the best severe risk staying south. Still, yesterday was pretty reasonable with a high of 80F even if it was humid. Not liking the look of things next week with a pretty good signal for heat increasing. the ECMWF had a few days in the low 100s dew points near 70. Most guidance is at least mid 90s.

hawkstwelve Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 For MBY, yesterday was our first day with a high below 85 since 5/27. Almost two straight weeks of highs 85+! Our average max high right now is 80, to keep it in perspective. I received a measly 0.17 inches yesterday mainly from one brief period of heavy rain accompanied with some thunder and lightning. This morning is refreshingly cool with a current temp of 57. Feels so nice out there. Planning on heading to the Palisades today and taking advantage of some heat relief with some hiking. Only expected to top out in the low/mid 70s under sunny skies. Very welcomed after the much higher than normal temps for the past month+. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowxman Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Today will be our first above normal temperature day since last Saturday. In fact it may end up being our warmest day we see in the entire month of June. We should see lower to mid-80's for much of the county. The great news is that rain will be moving in tomorrow with both the European and GFS showing over an inch of rain for much of the county!

Andie Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 We had a very warm day in the low 90’s. Humid. Our storms hit right on time and boiled and rumbled until about 10:30. I saw some of the most beautiful cloud to cloud lightning tonight punctuated with jagged bolts to the ground and nearby clouds with flash lightning setting the backdrop. A real floor show. No rain totals but I’ll guess less that 1/2”. No hail, no tornadoes to my knowledge.
