Stormy Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I heard the sirens. Apparently there was a rotating wall cloud. No touchdown though that I know of.The pictures of this storm on Twitter looked pretty ominous. I didn’t realize there would be a nice line of storms over Ks.

Stormy Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 So the cap finally weakened enough that storms could get going this morning. Looks like some of the same areas as last week will get good rains. There's still a bit of hope for a storm here this morning but most will be just south.

Tom Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Last night I attended a B Day party at one of my sister's close friends place that had a real nice outdoor set up. He hired a Brazilian chef that cooked lamb, chicken wings, ribs and steak. My goodness, the smell of the food was amazing when I first walked outside. The food and atmosphere was amazing. The only thing that wasn't amazing was the stifling Humidity! The Heat Index held the century mark till about 11:00 pm when I ventured home. If it wasn't for the strong S/SW breeze, it was unbearable. Everyone was sweating profusely and spent as much time indoors in the A/C. I sincerely have not felt that kind of humidity since the Summer of '16 when I remember back in July that year my sister had a B Day for her daughter in late July. Speaking of that Summer in '16, I just happened to read a post from WGN's wx blog stating that during July '16, ORD recorded a rare 80F DP. I also remember that it was the great baseball season when the Cub's won the World Series. #baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 At this time it is 80 here at my house with a DP of 73 with lots of clouds and rain in the area. The low so far has been official 78 at the airport and her at my house the low so far has been 79. Remember for this to be the low for the day it has to stay this warm until midnight. At this time the temperature here is 80 with a DP of 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 This would great. Not going to get too excited as we have been missed so often this summer on what looked like sure thing rain events.This has been the story of the spring and summer here as well. I can count at least a half dozen times now that several models showed us getting 1-2 inches of rain within a day or two of the event, then we ended up getting either very little rain or nothing. We picked up some more sprinkles and light showers here this morning again, but nothing measurable - really crossing my fingers that we get some decent rainfall the next 48 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry vegetation around here sucked in the moisture and it can use some more tonight... looks like a half inch to one inch of rain is possible again tonight and tomorrow morning, PLEASE keep it coming Mother Nature! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
