Tom Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Happy Monday! It was a record setting day in Chicago as ORD record 3.35" of rain while the city of Chicago got nailed with torrential rains the inundated parts of the city with flooding. Everything came together perfectly for COOK county as this system had characteristics of a cold core trough you would see in the colder months. Temps only topped out at 73F (-11F) as you would imagine with a wind off the lake amidst heavy downpours. The sun did try to peak out late in the evening. I really wanted to go and see fireworks but I decided not to and prob will head out today or tomorrow. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowxman Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 It looks like some spots across Southern Chester County picked up some rain earlier this AM. Up here in East Nantmeal nothing so far. There will continue to be a slight chance of some pop up storms today with a better shot by tomorrow evening. Wednesday and Thursday we look to warm into the upper 80's both days. In looking ahead they look to be the warmest days through at least July 19th. A climate note of interest - here in East Nantmeal I have now not recorded a 90 degree or higher reading in more than 2 years. The last above 90 degree day was on June 30th, 2021. I did record one day last summer on July 23rd that reached 89.7 - so we round that up and call it a 90 degree day. I know many spots in the county especially southern and lower spots did reach the 90 degree mark back on June 2nd - however we could do no higher than 88.8 here in East Nantmeal.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 You can sure feel the effects of all the rainfall and the rapidly growing corn crop putting off water into the air. One of the more oppressive days we’ve had this summer, temp in the low 80’s at 11:45 am, upper 60’s dew, with a calm wind. By tomorrow evening the strong cold front barrels through with potential severe storms and heavy rainfall. Then temps in the 70’s for highs and lows in the 50’s for the rest of the week with more rain chances. Wow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkstwelve Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Tonight and tomorrow are looking potentially interesting for some severe thunderstorms. Probably among the best shots we've had so far this season at scoring something. Although, that's not really saying much given how quiet it's been. Heck, it already got interesting today in some spots of SD. Tornado touched down in Tabor, SD and we had some very close lightning with a large thunderstorm that blew up near the water park we were at earlier. Ended up having a lightning delay for about an hour where we couldn't swim, but it all worked out and the kids had a blast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chescowxman Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Some spots across Southern Chester County saw over 2" of rain last night...while folks in the Northern parts saw nothing. There is a chance of more hit and miss storms later today so maybe some of the Northern folks can cash in today. Cooler today before both Wednesday and Thursday see temps in the upper 80's.

CentralNebWeather Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Timing of the storms tonight couldn’t be much worse. NWS Hastings highlighting this in their morning disco. * Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front this afternoon and evening. Initially the threat will be hail to the size of ping pong balls and wind gusts to around 60 mph...with the threat transitioning to very strong wind gusts up to 80 mph during the evening hours. Expect possible disruptions to holiday celebrations across much of the area this evening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 On Sunday I had the 5th and last consecutive day of rainfall, but all of them were frustratingly light amounting to a total of just 0.81". I got 0.30" on Sunday from morning and again from isolated pm showers. An isolated storm that afternoon dumped heavy rain on my brother's farm about 6 mi Southeast. Nearby places last week, especially to the south, got more. I'm grateful for everything we got and was nice having a little rain every day!

OKwx2k4 Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 It doesn't get a whole lot better than this for most of the eastern US. I doubt everyone will win, because it just never happens that way, but just, wow. Knowing where our pattern has evolved from in 45-60 days to now is remarkable. Andie looks to be the last holdout. She'll have one more good heat cycle to deal with before more lasting relief comes, then Autumn. I believe she still gets a break at the peak of TX summer, which will come as a blessing to her, while California has problems starting to develop again as ridging continues to try and set up over the lower west coast. 1965-66, the late 70s summer's and 2009 are still top-quality guidance going forward. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning we had a broken MCS move through with some thunder/lightning and rain, but clouds hung around too much all day and limited destabilization more than expected. Lame.
