A pop up. Basically no rain the first 15 days of June and barely a cloud. 6 days over 90f. I love living in Iowa, but these wild swings in weather here drive me crazy. I lived in 2 east coast states 39 years and these harsh ups and downs almost never happened. But is the norm in southeast Iowa. Usually it’s not quite this extreme in se. Iowa, but this year is really weird, especially the lack of t. storms! The plains states are on average more extreme than eastern Iowa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's a cool and crisp morning here (52F/50F) and with clear skies there is a splendid sunrise. This air has an almost Autumn feel to it...is there more of this down the road? As mentioned, some rediculous heat is ongoing in the SW where PHX set a new record of 115F but that's nothing compared to 121F in Needles, CA! I think we will see higher temps today/tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Long Range HRRR looks pretty similar to the GFS/GEFS in terms of where we may see the heaviest rainfall from the storms late Thu into Fri...this set up has the potential for training storms. Could be looking at another good hit for Chicago. 06z GFS... 06z NAM3km... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is going to be an active week of tracking storms...prob the best week of the entire year for a lot of us.

Stormy Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’m liking storm chances late Thursday. DVN thinks there’s also a possibility of back building storms on the west side of the MCS which may propagate south over eastern Iowa or west of the Mississippi River. However many of the models don’t look to impressive for me attm. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Crazy how the 06Z NAMs shifted way north from the previous 00Z runs. Hopefully it comes back south!

Hawkeye Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Models continue to be iffy with the Thursday night action. The new 12z HRRR keeps most of the organized convection up in Wisconsin, with only scattered stuff from my area to Chicago.

CentralNebWeather Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Never good when it is 90 degrees at 10 AM. On our way to 101 today and possibly 104 tomorrow. Way to early for this heat. Only saving grace is a 61 dew with a south breeze of 10 mph. Starting to get a little dry in places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Long ways out, but of interest to me at this time of year, what are the climate models suggesting for late Autumn??? @ben noll showing some some strat maps from the ECMWF/UKMET models and both have a weak PV setting up for November. The CFSv2 has been consistently showing massive blocking across Eurasia in November. Strong HP in Eurasia usually means a weak PV in November. This is obviously a long ways out but to see various climate models all agree on this idea is interesting to say the least. Quote Ben Noll @BenNollWeather · 5h Of interest: both the ECMWF and UKMET are predicting a weaker-than-normal stratospheric polar vortex during November... While we can't come to any grand conclusions, a potential weaker vortex around the start of winter 2021-22 is a puzzle piece well worth watching CFSv2... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 We’ve hit the 100 at 3 pm. Not happy about this at all. Dew is only 56. Thank goodness for the wet May.

OmahaSnowFan Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 We're under guidance for today's high. Only hit 93 so far today, but the dews have returned back to near 70 so the HI on my backyard thermometer has been running 98-100. Actual air temp was supposed to hit 97 today.

Stormy Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Farmers are desperate for rain here with D0 drought here since last week. It’s really dry and the lawns are brownish already.

Tom Posted June 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 In the end, the Euro is going to end up right with the Heat winning this week. For days the GFS was the coolest but doesn't appear that will come to fruition as the models are increasing temps this weekend. I think the tropical system has something to do with it that is going to hit the LA coast on Fri. Not complaining here as it should be a quite weekend expect for later on Sunday (possibly). The Euro keeps mid 90's for Sat and Sun which would result in our official 1st legit Heat wave if all holds true. I'm all good with that...boating season is upon us...btw, Lake Michigan water temps have warmed into the low 70's for the southern parts of the lake.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Looking like Hawkeye is about to get a little rain. Sure hope some of it makes it down here. If it holds together or increases, it should. That would take the edge off of the heat. Only a few models are really good for storms at my place for tonight’s round.
