Bryan1117 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Good luck to you guys out in Central Nebraska and hope you score some decent storms tonight. Right now, it looks like another miss is on tap for us in far Eastern Nebraska. Went from a 90% chance of heavy rain and storms (from last night’s forecast) to 20-30% for a possible glancing blow. It’s time to give up on the prospect of a nice, green yard this summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Things are looking better for me today with CAMS finally in better agreement on storms moving east and southeast across eastern Iowa. At least they shifted further south to include my area though I might be near the edge. It's getting so dry here and the corn sure was rolling leaves during the daytime. There's not much irrigation around here as normally we get adequate summer rainfall. It seems recent Julys are trending dryer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just came back from my morning cardio workout which consisted of about a 2 mile walk, followed by an High Intensity Interval Training, 5 min long, 15 second interval, knee highs at the park. I decided to elevate my cardio this morning because I felt strong after being held back the past few days. Love these warm and humid mornings! 80F/71F...soak it in folks, before we realize it, it'll be Labor Day and Summer will be coming to an end.

We got grazed in Omaha as expected, didn’t see much storm activity outside of some gusty outflow winds and distant lightning overnight. Picked up about .20 of rain last night, which is better than nothing. Looks like Lincoln had some severe winds last night as well. Down here for work today and saw some small to medium sized tree limbs down from the storms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
