I personally thought the guy that wrote that afternoon afd had a crack hit. But he's the pro. I just watch the radar. Would not be surprised to get hammered again around 4 a.m.

brutal.

your so desperate for raging heat now you've moved your observation posts from Midway to St. Louis.

bonus garden variety pour down with billowing cumulus, splotches of blue sky, and drops the size of baseballs. I still believe.

wheelbarrow full to top.

it's a beautiful thing. And now clearing out as I speak.......

see if LOT can verify for tonight. Great write ups as always, though have struggled with verification. Convection ain't easy.

might be a good thing. Had my driveway newly repaved. Worried with too much heat it'll catch fire.

Yep. Spent many a summer there. Still, used to get those in these parts as well.

What happend to the concept of a brief afternoon thundershower on a steamy, hot, summer day emanating from a towering cumulo-nimbus with steam rising from the streets in it's wake?

it hit 90? didn't feel like it. That early season high heat raised the bar. Actually, felt pleasant out there.

hate to say it. but palms thrive in that stuff.

Beautiful weather week incoming. I'm ready for it after the periodic cloudy wet periods we've had over the past 10 days or so.

not a drop

if this was a snowstorm I'd be jipped out of 2-3 inches already. Keeps dying on my doorstep.

just what the doctor ordered

fingers crossed.

Basically, the wet period didn't make a dent for most. Anyone got a map f area totals since July 4. And now it sounds like back to hot and dry.

That does it I'm cancelling my BAM WX subscription.

morning update: "Lightning flashed ; thunder roared ; the wind howled ; rain fell in torrents"

yeah, sort of my thoughts as well.

should I water the flowers? Was hoping for a good soaking, but the board optimism seems to waning a bit.

was moreso referring to how complicated and difficult it is to time these storm clusters even more than 6 -8 hrs out. And sure enough LOT alluded to it in this mornings AFD " AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE IS LITTLE SKILL IN FORECAST TRACK AND TIMING OF THE INDIVIDUAL CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED VORT PIVOTING AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE." looks like a busy next week from here so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. Finally caved and rolled out the sprinkler yesterday in an effort to save the lawn.

convection just toys with forecasters. Looks like were staying dry.

I feel this was targeted at me.
