July 2021 Observations and Discussion


Tom

Recommended Posts

Here is my area there we no storms last night or this morning I recorded a total of 0.10" of rain fall. The last few years here in my area there have NOT been much in the way of thunder and lightning. The last two years there were very few and so far this year is even worst. While there have been periods of heavy rain there most have happened with little or no thunder. 

With the official high so far this month of 89 this will be the first July that it has not reached 90 or better since 2014 and only the 5th time in the last 30 years. It has now became cloudy and the temperature is now at 75 here with the clouds

Looking back at where the MOD Severe wx threat was forecast it looks like a bust north of MKE down into GRR.

Yes, there were no storms here last night or this morning. It was a warm night here with the temperature hanging around 78 most of the night before dropping down to 73 during the shower when 0.10" of rain fell here.

That’s one of the few models that gives me decent rainfall, so I’m not to hopeful yet beings I’m riding the edge. At least it shifted a hair ne.

Like yesterday, the temp has risen to 90º here.  However, the dew yesterday was 78º, but it has fallen to 69º this afternoon... a very noticeable difference.

Didn’t hit our expected 101* today.  High of 99*,  humidity at 50%.  
 

They’re forecasting 100* tomorrow but we’ll see.  With luck our run of century marks are over and out!

It didn’t feel much different than yesterday down here. It felt pretty bad and even I really sweated when working outdoors. It has to be tropical like to get me sweating doing regular work. I saw the dew at 79° at one point this afternoon. Likely hit 80° but I haven’t checked yet.

The 0Z CAMs shifted the heaviest axis back northeast of Omaha too for the most part. Hope it’s not a trend. I held off watering this entire week once Friday looked like a good chance of decent rain.

If that materialized, just a repeat  of the  pattern since early may.  A dry 10 to 18 days followed by a deluge in wapello,  davis, Jefferson. Vanburen  counties.

Happy Friday!  It's 5:55am as I write this and the sun rose today at 5:43am local time.  It's a wonderful start to the morning with an air temp of 66F and a very comfy DP 56F.  My goodness, does it feel good to have the windows open and let in the refreshing air.  I woke up in the middle of the night from the gusty NNE winds off the lake.  Today is going to be a wonderful day...#manifest

The lake effect clouds blowing in off LM reminds me of those colder autumn and winter days...what may be coming down the road???  It'll be here soon enough...a perfect wind trajectory downwind the entire length of the Lake into NE IL.  #winteronmymind

Well it is a real cool late July day here today at this time the current temperature here at my house is 70 with full sunshine. The overnight low was 57 both here at my house and at GRR.

Same here, but we have intermittent clouds and a very nice breeze.  A stupendously fantastic Friday!

It's currently 90 with a heat index of 101, the dew point is 75 down a couple of notches from yesterday but still miserable and no breeze today.

I’m with you. Today is just as bad as the rest of the week. No breeze at all and dews are mid 70’s at least. My son just asked me why it’s not cooler today as that’s what the forecast said. I told him NWS Hastings has had a rough summer around here with their forecasts.

woke up to a surprise tstorm this morning and a couple of the loudest booms I've heard in a long time from my house. Absolutely dumped rain for a while. That's a good thing, bc I'm not too sure how much we will end up getting from tonight's rains based on model trends.

Received 1.37" of rain in about an hour and a half. These cells weren't very big either, so a lot of town missed out unfortunately.

Yes it feels worlds different here than yesterday! 😃A breeze picked up late last evening and began cooling it off.

Here it took all day to cool off after the frontal passage which is common during summer.

I had noticed scattered cells heading right for Omaha.

I’m not officially in a heat advisory, but it feels the worst of any day this week. No wind and it just seems like you can’t breathe doing any work outside. Still seeing heat index between 102-107. They say dews in the 50’s Sunday. I’ll hope they’re correct. 

I noticed that soupy air and a warm front near your area.

Hot this weekend. 100* Highs.  
But Monday we have front move through with rain and a high of 92*.  
That should feel like a cool front.  I’m ready for a change.

Hello from Pascagoula, MS. Right on the gulf. Was in New Orleans last night. Went down to Bourbon Street! Was in TX for a week prior to that. Was in Brownsville right on the border. Actually saw part of the border wall. 

Anyway, its been sunny and mid to upper 90s everyday. And humid, except Amarillo was more of a dry heat. Looks like you guys are baking back at home as well. Been a hot summer.

I return home next Tuesday. Looking forward to fall!
