OttumwaSnomow Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 .61 here this am. So with cooler temps and 3 rains in 8 days of 1.83 we are overcoming the 25 day dry period in Aug. Over-all a great year for business. VID_164920313_205049_711.mp4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Rainfall here was kind of lame compared to the northern part of my county which probably was the winner with the heaviest amounts in eastern Iowa of up to 2”+. This summer, like the past few, it’s been hard to get a direct hit. The first round today dropped .54” and the second round mostly missed with only .16” for a total of .70”. People within 10 miles west of here probably are wishing it would dry off, which it should. Nice rains here though, and finally just enough to green up the lawns at my place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, by comparison they’re better but things have been changing. Polar Vortex has found our address and I think this winter will match the last one. I’m preparing for a potential outage. There’s no way they could have fixed their issues in less than a year. Keep your eyes on the southern plains after the first of the year.

OttumwaSnomow Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 I moved to Southeast Iowa in 2008. I have my entire life studied weather and climate history. Its particularly interesting in Mid Atlantic as records and written accounts go back to the 1600s. I have studied historical midwest data as to wild swings in yearly precip here. I researched many location in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, etc. There seems to be a bermuda triangle of extremes in Ottumwa, IA city, Peroria, Kirksville where its even more exaggerated. This year illustrates it. Burlington has been the wettest as is climatology expected with 31 inches. Ottumwa is 2nd of major reporting locations. But in Aug Ottumwa just .74!!!!! And shockingly I hear Fairfield less than .25? After Fairfield basically wettest location in Iowa for 2 yrs! I really believe its tough to find a more feast or famine area than Southeast Iowa. Yes much of midwest is similar,even nebraska. But it seems to be slightly more exaggerated here. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 I finished the day with .90 in and my 2 day total was 1.15 one of the lowest in the area. Louisiana is about to be targeted again first by a tropical low this upcoming week and then by a potentially major hurricane around the 14th. This time conditions should be favorable for the hurricane remnants to reach mby and move up into the lower lakes then on to the NE states. Man I feel horrible for those that keep getting hit over and over. The GFS is beginning to sniff this out. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Both here at my house and officially at GRR there was .05" of rain fall yesterday. That was the first rain at Grand Rapids since August 24th when just .06" fell and in the last 25 days there has been just 0.13" of total rain fall at GRR. At this time it is sunny here with a temperature of 69 with a dew point of 64. While it was indeed cool yesterday afternoon the dew point did reach 67 yesterday during the light rain/mist we had.

Andie Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’m seeing Texas temps begin to vary and roller coaster between 93 and 98 week to week in Sept. This is typical Texas seasonal change in September and very encouraging that we’ll have a more normal Fall. I still expect a polar vortex dive in late January or February like last year. I’m preparing for it now. We don’t trust Texas power grid yet. the article I posted in Climate recently may explain it better. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/changing-climate/study-warmer-arctic-led-to-killer-cold-in-texas-much-of-us/2733607/ 1 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.
