Timing looks pretty decent for the DVN cwa with this. This doesn't look to be another case of withering Iowa sloppy seconds.

Yeah I'm digging it. As I've gotten older I've grown less fond of the humidity on a daily basis anyway. Still appreciate the extreme 80 degree events, and of course love the humidity when there's a decent convective setup. Other than that it can stay in the 50s all summer as far as I'm concerned lol. Corn crops around here are looking fantastic. Most fields are waste/stomach high now, with only some areas of retardation where there was standing water back in May/early June. As long as we get regular moisture the rest of the growing season it should be an excellent crop around these parts.

lol

Can see rock hard looking towers/thunderheads on the eastern/southeastern horizon from here. Looks like a nice event for areas to the east.

.33" here this morning. Lots of clouds in place limiting instability so I'm not optimistic we'll see much today.

Some nice towers bubbling up this afternoon. Nice little pulsers popping now and again. Working outside on a project this afternoon, feels a little muggy with little to no wind and dews pushing 70. Some outflow from one of the cells would be a plus.

Finished with 0.04" for the day.

Looks like a shot at a storm in the next few hrs. Rains have shut off lately. No measurable rain since Jun 10. Needed to dry out though so it worked out well

Thundered earlier from a pulser that passed southeast. Temps the last few days failed to hit 90 as clouds have been an issue.

Corn around here is looking great (except in fields where there was a lot of standing water) and is running ahead of normal. Most of the corn is knee to thigh high already.

It can snow in <4 months.

zzzz

Another afternoon with dews in the 40s and a fresh east breeze. It can stay like this all summer as far as I'm concerned. Very boring weather from an enthusiast standpoint though I guess.

These dews are crazy low for mid June. Dipped into the 30s over a large part of the sub, with some upper 20s as well as pointed out by madwx. Someone must have tripped over a cord at HRRRv headquarters. Model hasn't updated since Thursday.

Temps overachieved again in this area. Made it to 88 here, 87 at MLI. Backdoor CF almost here. Only low 70s tomorrow.

Temps overachieved today, as we made it to 81 here, and 83 at MLI. Loving these 50 degree dews.

DVN FTW!!

Stormed after midnight, and another round of showers this afternoon brought the daily total to 0.62", and the event total to 1.22".

The 00z DVN sounding from very close to the center of Cristobol is pretty impressive. Near saturation up to over 350mb. photo uploader

Wow, only 71 here. You were definitely in a good location for nice action from this event. Since this event was pretty ball-less here I'm ready for this to get out of here and get some good ol' fashioned summertime convection back in here.

Highlight of the event going on right now with 35-40mph gusts. Final total is 0.60".

BP down to 991mb here, and 990mb at MLI and DVN. Looks like the low center is passing a bit west of the QC, so prob 989mb somewhere between the obs. Have picked up 0.55" here. Things pretty much went as planned for this area. A benign event if you didn't know what was causing it. Still hoping for a few 35mph+ gusts between 6-9pm immediately following the center of circulation.

And one minute later it commences to crap the bed.

The heavy convective shower that's heading right at MLI is the type that could easily cause a brief spin-up with this setup.
