If this cell had popped a couple miles north I would have received nothing. 2 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thunderstorm watch cancelled. I had a 2 minute rain shower that barely wet the pavement.

Hawkeye Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 The line that popped over me earlier and lifted north is now stalled just north of Cedar Rapids and it's trying to build back south a bit into Hiawatha and Marion again. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we are done. 5.4” These storm cells/clusters have been producing tremendous downpours. It literally feels like a whole other world out there how soupy the airmass feels. The air is so damp and undoubtedly feels like we are living in the Amazon. I was awoken to the sound of a torrential downpour around 2:00am. It's wild to think that just about a week ago we were in an extreme drought and how quickly that has vanished. Mother Nature can surely bring twists and turns in the wx dept. I was invited to an outdoor block party later this afternoon so hopefully the wx cooperates and the rains hold back till later in the day. The 00z FV3-Hi Res handle that band that came through last night the best IMO for MBY. Looks like the models are showing a developing line of storms just S/SE of the metro late afternoon. That would be an ideal outcome for today's events. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's wonderful to see that the Monsoon won't be on hiatus this year as the pattern is ripe for the seasonal shift towards moisture coming up from Mexico/E PAC as the SW Monsoon will begin delivering the goods. This is site for sore eyes out that way as the forecasts call for daily chances for precip starting early next week. 0z Euro...by months end we'll start putting a dent into the drought out hopefully nature can put out some of the fires that are churning up the state. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Alright, alright, alright...who's ready for a pattern change???? With the big 4th of July holiday weekend coming up, the models seem to be closing in on a cut-off trough near the Lower Lakes region. It all will depend on where this system tracks but gauging off the ensembles, it appears that we'll see the "Hudson Bay Block" work it's magic and usher in a cooler/drier air mass into the region.

westMJim Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 A new record rain fall record was set at Grand Rapids yesterday with 2.17" of rain fall. Here at my house I recorded 2.58" of rain fall but my report is for 7AM to 7AM while the official reports are for midnight to midnight. That is one of the issues I have with the cocorahs reporting times. At this time it is cloudy and 70 here at my house. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andie Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 It’s really hard to watch the western wildfires. My uncle surveyed some of the 1st roads into the Plumas Forest and brought back a species of prehistoric fern thought extinct. Now these forests are in danger. Texas would gladly take a normal summer to spare them. Texas is looking to have an unseasonably cool week next week with rain in the forecast. Just more of this 1200 yr drought cycle. Welcomed rain but it comes with a high price to others. 2 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

westMJim Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Well it is raining once again. At this time it is mostly just a light rain and there has not been any thunder or wind. In fact there are just a few reported lighting strikes over Lake Michigan west of South Haven and that is it so far. It did warm up to 77 here before the rain moved in. It is still a rather mild 75 here with a DP of 74 so there is a lot of moisture to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
