Hoosier Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 2 hours ago, Hawkeye said: This really sucks. The pattern is a much more favorable, summer-like ROF. However, models are suggesting there could be a brick wall setting up along I-80. South of the wall, many rounds of storms with multiple inches of rain. North, nothing, through ten days. This would halt or even reverse the drought conditions in some areas if if comes to fruition. Other areas not so much. There won't be a quick fix to the drought. It's too far along and too widespread, but should chip away. I would bet that there will still be brown on the drought map as we head toward August/September.

Tom Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 That was one hellova MCS yesterday afternoon that raced through IL/IN...I drove smack dab right through those areas across C IL off of I-55 on Father's Day. I hope the corn crop are salvageable. I hear they can bend them back if the plant is not smashed down to much. Meantime, it is a soupy, muggy, and foggy morning here in the Tropics of Chitown....currently 72F/70F. You know, I've been yearning for mornings like these when I was out in AZ.

westMJim Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 88/62 the official rain fall amount was 0.87” there was 34% of possible sunshine. Here in MBY I recorded 1.17” of rain fall from a very heavy rain storm that had some thunder and lightning with it. For today the average H/L is 83/62 the record high of 99 was recorded in 1931 and the record low of 40 was set in 1943. The record rain fall amount of 1.69” fell in 1938 Last year the H/L was 89/62. At the current time it is foggy and 67 here in MBY. The weekend and the 4th look to be warm with some chances of showers and thunderstorms. Very typical for this time of the year. As can be the case in the summer time there has been a wide span of rain fall amounts. Here are some June rain fall amounts across the area.

chescowxman Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Through yesterday this is now the coldest June in Chester County since way back in 1974. More impressive is not counting today (which should be a rare above average day) this is the 7th coldest June in 130 years of local weather records! We should finish out the month with some hazy sun (thanks Canada) and temps in the low 80's today. A little cooler tomorrow to start out July and then rain chances increase by Saturday night.

CentralNebWeather Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Depending on how much rain we get today and tonight before midnight, some parts of my county will be over 10” for June. My location is close to 8” right now. Some other parts are easily 9” or more already as of 9:15 am.

I lived in the Midwest as a child and I will say that the summer thunderstorms there could be most impressive. But I was f*cking miserable from allergies for most of the warm season, and it was just so amazing to experience my first summer that wasn’t oppressively hot and humid and where I didn’t need to be heavily medicated. 1 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

AM events didn't hamper afternoon/evening rounds last year as much as they do now. Can we fix that? MCS’s are perhaps the most difficult mesoscale phenomena to predict. Until the thing develops, the most infinitesimally small triggers can change the entire evolution. And yeah, nocturnal/early AM MCS “crapvection” is always a risk. Mid/late morning is the hardest to recover from. But sometimes those overnight/early AM MCS’s are very intense. In 2010 we had an MCS come through right at sunrise with 90mph winds..upper levels can dominate over BL stability under the right setup. Haven’t had one of those nocturnal juggernauts in a couple years, so we’re due. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But absolutely zero runoff so my pond keeps dropping. With exception of a couple weeks almost no runoff going back to December 2021. But in the 2017 drought i went 18 months with JUST ONE 1 INCH PLUS RAIN, that was west of Ottumwa! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
