Tom Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 It's a beautiful summery morning with a nice SW wind out ahead of the approaching CF along with some spotty showers incoming. Currently, 72F/61F and heading up to near 90F but a strong Lake Breeze pushes down the lake and by the afternoon/dinner time it may be cool enough to open up the windows! These are the perks of living by a big lake in the summer season. Speaking of showers/storms, one is right over Volo, IL where my bro lives...#Jackpot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 The official H/L yesterday was 85/57 there was no rain fall and the sun was out 100% of the possible time. The highest wind gust was 28 MPH out of the SW. Here in MBY the overnight low for today was 68 there was 0.03” of rain fall with a shower this AM. At the current time it is 69 and cloudy. For today the average H/L is 83/63 the record high of 99 was set in 1936 and the record low of 45 was set in 1945. The record rain fall of 2.72” fell in 1923. Last year the H/L was 81/63. There were some heavy thunderstorms yesterday across parts of the UP. There was a brief shower here this morning but it only dropped 0.03” of rain here. The week ahead looks to be just a little on both side of average with tomorrow being a cool day for mid July. The rest of the week should see highs in the upper 70’s to low 80’s Lows should be mostly in the low to mid 60’s there will be several chances of rain.

Black Hole Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I've been just outside the fun the last 2 rounds of MCSs that have slammed OKC but its remained reasonable.

Bryan1117 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Picked up 0.20” last night from the dying line of storms that dropped up to 4” hail in Northeast Nebraska… even though we didn’t get much it’s still better than the awful and bone dry pattern that dominated most of the spring Looks like we have a good shot at severe storms and very heavy rain in Eastern Nebraska tonight… looks like there are some hints of a derecho passing through from NW to SE overnight if everything comes together just right. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowxman Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 It looks like a couple slightly above normal temp days are on tap for the area over the next couple of days. However, 90 degree plus temps look to yet again miss most of Chester County. Later tomorrow the weather looks to get a bit unsettled again with a good chance of showers and t-storms by Thursday night and chances continue through much of the upcoming weekend.

Stormy Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 It was a very warm muggy evening and I think the front has stalled about overhead. And just now some storms have developed along I-80 just north of my location. I'm wondering if that's part of the WAA wing which may have the heaviest rainfall amounts?

Tom Posted July 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 As long as this wet pattern persists, I don't foresee any real HEAT coming up this way. Later next week the humidity will build but then chances of another round of cooler air to filter in from the north as a stout trough carves out for the GL's and SE Canada. When I was out in AZ back in May & June, I couldn't believe how quick the drought formed across the eastern ag belt in the MW. Over the past few weeks, literally the day I drove home, the pattern began to show signs of what the LRC really should be delivering. I'm very optimistic that the remainder of this summer season will be one of the best ones in recent years around these parts. Is there such thing as a "Perfect Summer?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 The official H/L yesterday at GR was 82/61 there was a trace of rain fall. There was 67% of possible sunshine the strongest wind gust was 27MPH out of the west. There were 7 CDD’s and the total for July so far is 86 that is a departure of -2. The overnight low this AM in MBY has been 58 at the current time it is 60 with cloudy skies. For today the average H/L is 83/63 the record high of 106 was set in 1936 and the record low of 42 was set in 1989. The record rain fall amount of 1.42” fell in 1992. Last year the high low was 79/63. The coldest maximum for today is 71 set in 1917. With clouds and rain we will have to see how warm it gets today as there is a good chance it will be one of the cooler maximum temperatures for the date. There is a chance of some heavy rain today. And there are several chances of rain for the next week. We will be going on a short trip next week and will be in northern Ohio for a few days. We are going to Put in Bay and then to the Rock in Roll Hall of fame. My wife and I have been to both but we are taking my oldest son and his wife they have not been to either. Temperatures next week look to be a little cooler than average with chances of rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Hole Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 One thing that I have been thinking about is how "this summers pattern" seems to be the SW ridge and the Great Lakes trough. Sometimes there is transient variability but it keeps going back to that general idea and models have to keep catching up as we get closer to make the trough stronger and more long-lived. Let's hope so, it's making summer semi tolerable. 3 Quote Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2") Total Ice (0.2") Coldest Low: 1F Coldest High: 5F Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
