Stormy Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 The center of the meso low tracked over the Cedar Rapids area late this morning. A small pocket of rain began to perk up as it reached me. I picked up 0.25". Once again, the far north side (broken record) got the brunt, picking up a quick 0.50-0.60". My two-day total is now 0.85". It's not as much as expected, but it's ok. That's a decent amount. I only got a total of 0.47" with all of that falling yesterday. Probably over 1" only 4 miles west though. But I agree, this system was a big dud overall. Maybe we can get a little more on Monday. The models are pretty much clueless it seems like.

Niko Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Attm, it is 86F w a dp of 64F. Not too bad. Humidity levels are noticeable, which I can honestly say is pretty tolerable, considering it can be a lot more humid than this. Btw: It is now officially "Summer." 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Tom Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Happy Father's Day to all those special dad's out there! Looks like mother nature may fire up some late day boomers across the Plains and parts of the MW later today/tonight. Some of the CAM"s are showing some strong, training storms across parts of IA and a nasty potential long-lived MCS that develops across KS and head S/SE towards E OK. James's place may got rocked again later tonight as the nocturnal jet fires up. Our guy @OkWx is in store for not 1, but 2 rounds of storms over the next couple days. Enhanced Risk showing up for KS as they prepare for what could be a big ticket severe wx action day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 No rain here at my house yet. We went up to Bay City yesterday to get some Michigan strawberries and on the way back home there was a heavy thunderstorm in Midland. The high in Bay City yesterday was 91. The Saginaw river is still high but Midland the water is now all down. Currently it is 76 here with a DP of 68 and the skies are cloudy at this time.

Stormy Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 An hour ago I was thinking that it seems and feels more like a typical summer day with the potential of stronger storms with the muggy atmosphere, strong sunshine, and a southerly breeze. Some storms are starting to fire already though they’ll probably remain very scattered. Maybe we can get something to blow through later tonight, but probably in a weakening state. Last evening an overnight I had more near misses from scattered storms. The first isolated cell just grazed as usual around 9:00 pm. with plenty of thunder and lightning to the sw. and barely a tenth of rain. The rest just missed after midnight.

Stormy Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Just now an outflow from earlier storms finally made it here from the southeast. Another outflow is moving south further east. Both are visible on COD radar. It was calm, but this breeze feels good. Storms are beginning to develop further south into central Iowa.

It will take a while for the storms to pass by, too. I will be tired tomorrow. There is certainly plenty of lightning to the wnw. With the storms now backbuilding, it's looking better for me. They don't have to sag much farther south. The back of the line, however, is still trying to lift northeast. 1 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...
