Jackstraw

From its performance up around our area I'm wondering if it's atmosphere coupled lol.

Can't buy one around here. Saw that storm off to my south, another off to my west and another to the east. My micro-climate around here is really sucking.

I knew the rubber band of May and June was going to snap and we were going to have to pay the piper

Yeah we're banging 94/72 here and beginning to get brutally dry, little more than .25 of rain since 6/23. Temps supposed to drop below 60 tomorrow night, might need a scarf lol.

Too Funny. Actually have experienced a summer "windchill" in the mountains where the "feels like" temp was less than the air temp like whats posted. I've also seen dew temps higher than air temps on ATIS reports, more often than you would think, which can be a bit unnerving flying around. You begin wondering if any local instrumentation is accurate.

June and July homegrown systems along stalled fronts or strong MCS's down in the gulf or off the SE coast aren't uncommon but I agree, an NHC forecast like that is uncommon. I'm not even seeing much model support for anything significant. Might be the fact that anything that may form is going to tend to linger with no strong steering over the next 5-7 days and could pose a copious rain producer. Edit: Now I see what you were saying. Don't think I've ever seen a potential tropical system mark over Tennessee lol!

Wow, just saw this. Been there and was in the hospital for 2 days. Nothing scarier when you don't see it coming. Even though it was almost 30 years ago for me, I still sit back in the seat and put my head against the head rest when I stop at an intersection. The wife thought for a time I was getting ready to hit the gas like a drag racer. Nope. Nothing scarier that getting rear ended. Hope all's well!

One of them was on top of me finally lol. Dropped .25 in about 15 min then poof bye bye. Not quite understanding why we were and still are under a flood warning. Edit: Guess it expired at 8pm

You should see them before they come up out of the ground lol.

Starting to feel like Yukon Cornelius when it comes to some precip around here.... Nothin'.

They are one freaky amazing creature the more you research them, especially the documented "Broods". And they can be infected with magic mushrooms containing psilocybin so of course they're a delicacy lol. Like i said freaky stuff. Back on topic, think there's a summer version of Michsnowfreaks magnet turned on in reverse for rain around here. These storms are literally curving right around me. Still 80/71 and 68 10 miles to the north.

Well I'm a Cicada geek. Check it out https://www.cicadamania.com/

Well at least an officer on the side of the road wont have trouble reading it lol. That's crazy. Never seen "plate" damage before.

Still freakin 90 at 8:30 in the evening (7:30 in my book. Sorry, I never sprung forward until I was 30). They keep saying 30-40% chance of storms so I'm in the 60-70 percentile daily lol. Going on 10 days with no precip other than a couple light sprinkles.

92 here. 77 degrees 6 miles to the East where it rained. Might take a ride and cool off lol.

Gonna be a scorcher here today unless we get a pop up. Was 84 at 9am. 89/71 at noon and cooking. Feels like I'm back in SC lol.

I do have a question. I know ridge position during these MCS/MCV is important along with latent boundary's. I've just kind of noticed over the last 72 to 96 hours that here east of 65 and north of 70 we've had a long fetch paralleling lake Michigan. Meso analysis has consistently shown a bit of a more stable environment ie. lower dews, cape lines, 850 dew lines, really compressed - to + east to west along the fetch. For instance yesterday there was literally a wall of stability along 65 right in line with the winds off the lake all the way down to KIND before the boundary layer and storms spread to the SE. Does the lake have that much influence this far south or has it just been a coincidence with the position of the ridge over the southern plains?

Don't know about anywhere else but when the 4th is in the middle of the week I kinda root for the fireworks to get rained out. If they do around here they usually postpone until Labor Day, a solid 3 day weekend when I can enjoy them the most. Edit: Forgot to add there is some greed in there as I have a little private fireworks store where I take pre-orders to order bulk and get discount prices so I kinda can cash in twice

Skirts just to my north. Storms have surrounded this area the past week but no love here in N Central IN except the occasional diurnal light show like a poor kid watching the rich kids shoot off fireworks from afar . I'll be moving this discussion to the complaint thread if this pattern persists lol.

Same here. Another week of this and I'm ready for clown maps lol

It's feast or famine around here. I've had .1 inches in my rain gauge since the frying pan lit back on the 24th. It's amazing after last month I'm having to water my garden every evening now.

KIND finished w/ around 7.5" of rain almost breaking the top 10 wettest Junes. Was on track to at least break into the top 10 until the pattern flip around the 23rd w/ only .15 inches the last week. Bloomington was pushing 10 inches. I'm sure there were some unofficial areas that made it over a foot especially south central IN. Still was almost twice the June average without a tropical system.

That outflow is already into Indy so it was moving.

The western side will be intersecting an outflow boundary just west of the QC on SE thats very visible on radar. Could provide additional focus.

New day 1... Slash right down 65 lol...
