westMJim Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 The dry weather continues. Yesterday had 86% of possible sunshine and the official H/L at Grand Rapids was 81/52 there were 2 Cooling Degree Days. The overnight low here in MBY was a cool 52 the current temperature is 56 with clear skies. For today the average H/L is 80/59 the record high of 96 was set in 1987 and 1994 the record low of 43 was set in 1947. The record rain fall amount of 2.08” fell in 2014. This week looks to be warm and dry with highs in the upper 80’s to the low 90’s and lows in the lows mainly in the low 60’s there may be a few upper 50’s tossed in there. While very warm with very low DP’s it should not be all that bad but with the high sun angle it could get hot in the sun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 I received 0.25 from the weakening storms last night. I'm happy with that as it filled my rain barrel. We could have easily gotten nothing.

Black Hole Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Driving in for my shift tonight power was mostly restored out to 2-3 miles from the office but it was all dark after that. Looking out the window here its as dark as last night so probably still several days before power is restored for most. A heat advisory was issued based on impacts for all those without power.

chescowxman Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Morning lows today were not too far from normal (near 60) so with highs today reaching the mid-80's today could be our first above normal temperature day in 8 days. How chilly has this spring been? Well since a pattern change on April 24th a whopping 75% of days or 42 of the last 56 days have averaged below normal! In looking ahead after today we slip back to below normal for the remainder of this week. In fact I can see no sustained above normal temps at least through the first week of July. It is likely we will finish with our 2nd straight below normal month - the first back to back months with below normal temps since last September and October. Rain chances look to increase by later this week with the best chance coming on Saturday.

That's more than I had this month. I like your rain gauge and was wondering if you're a COCORAHS reporter? Since you're not at home do you have a family member or someone recording your rainfall?

I have some big news coming soon Im getting very close to becoming the official location for the nws (coop observer)- Ottumwa station nws reps should be coming to my property soon to scope out where to put the equipment. The location is much better than the OTM airport since its 7 miles from downtown. Im just off the ene edge of city and less than 2 miles from the long time location on the Des River. Ive noticed the data for our area to be sorely lacking with the automated equip, like melting winter precip etc. My son can help me out since he is a weather hobbyists as well. If not a employee can do it for me. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about reporting for COCORAHS since I have 2 of those gauges, and have been recording precipitation consistently since January 1990. But there are several reporters in my area and I don't like the idea of bringing in a gauge to melt snow or measure rainfall (over 1") while it's still precipitating. Plus I used to leave for work at various times before reporting time though that's rarely the case anymore. Guess I'm too particular! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
