June 2020 Observations and Discussion

@St Paul Storm btw was all this rain in the forecast?

The forecast last night had 1-2” of rain. The training storms were modeled to be south of here around I-90. I added a few tenths of an inch since my last post. I’m up to 5.3”. And yes, if the skies clear a bit this afternoon it’s gonna get nasty out there.

I'm definitely taking advantage of my pool this week as it will be stunning weatherwise. Noone is allowed in my home ( i.e., friends and or relatives )until further notice, at least until maybe the Autumn season. Taking precautions! I can tell the sun index is at least an 9 or 10. Have to watch out for any burns.

I was hoping the meso low down in the Burlington/Quincy area would lift north through eastern Iowa, but models are backing off of that scenario.

Most CAM's are developing a possible significant line of storms over E NE later tonight...

Most of the local mets around here think we are going to be missed again to the north tonight (imagine that, LOL)... I really hope this model is correct and we can cash in on some much needed rainfall and storms.

Sunny and beautiful outside w temps in the 80s and not too humid. It will get more muggy by weeks end as the 90s approach.

This pattern has not panned out well at all for my area, but it would be nice if we could get a couple tenths to fill my rain barrel before the dryness sets in.  The problem with this pattern is these slow-moving meso lows dump big rain over small areas, but away from the lows there's nothing.  This morning's meso low down by Burlington will actually hurt me because it will cause tonight's eastern NE/western IA line to dive southeast into Missouri.

 

The Euro sure doesn't like Iowa.

Mostly sunny skies and not too extreme in terms of humidity levels. As a matter of fact, dew is in the mid 60s range, which is considered "Noticeable." Stepped outside and went to Ace Hardware store to buy a few things and thinking to myself, Quote: A nice t'stm would be sOOOOoooooo nice now, even if it were for 1 min to pour. But noOOOOOO, that stubborn "HP" to my north has to block the weather pattern in MI and prevent anything from moving towards my area. UGH!

I don't think I have seen a forecast for my area b4 where it shows "Sunny Skies" for 9 straight days in a row! Wow!

 

Btw: last year all Summer long, the amt of times that my area hit 90 or better was 10X. Looks like after this week and next week, we will have surpass that number easily. Average 90 degree days in the Summer is 12X.

Saharan dust is here. Along with heat and humidity, it’s really an ugly day. Nebraska City has reported a dew point of 79.

Wow..now that is extreme! Most likely hard to breathe in that type of air.

Lincoln might be too far south and get missed by the line of the storms in Central NE. At least I'm on the north edge of town so there might be some hope. 

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"

ORD closed the month +5.1F degrees above normal with 4.40" of rain (+0.95")....warm and wet month, although, it was certainly hit or miss across the state.  Parts of E IA/MN/WI got hit pretty darn good towards the end of the month.

Nothing impressive severe wise, but we're getting a good soaking tonight at least. 

 

Widespread 1.50-2.00" across the Lincoln area.  The line of storms quickly pushed through Omaha, but it stalled and trained through Lincoln.

For the second time in a week, this morning I was awaken by rain and had to rush outside to put the gauge out.  It's not too heavy, but I've received a couple tenths so far, which makes me happy because it filled my rain barrel.

Ended up with about 0.75 in the rain gauge last night and early this morning from the line of strong thunderstorms that pushed through the Omaha area.

 

June 2020 will go in the books as very hot and mostly dry around here. Our temperature was 6 degrees above average through the month, and we ended up about 1 1/2 to 2 inches below average in rainfall. Hoping these trends can change, however the extended forecast looks to continue with the hot and dry weather in this area  :(.

I ended up with 4.43" of rain in June. That's a nice amount but still below 'my' 30 year average and less than many places all around me by just a few miles. If it wouldn't have been for Cristibal it would've been very dry here this month.

My June rain total is 6.79".  All that rain and barely any thunder.

This 70F+ dew point is a joke. How can anyone live in this stuff on a regular basis? I can stand almost any heat. But humidity is a different story.

I grew up in Houston. This is the reason I no longer live in Houston.

I don't mind this weather to much as I don't sweat a lot unless I'm working physically out in it and there's not much wind. There's just a difference in people. Some like summer while others like winter.
