I had hoped to get at least 0.75" with today's rain just to help the health of the grass but 0.17" was all that I got. Maybe next weekend.

I am keeping an eye on the AQI here but so far it has been staying in check this far south.

Last week in July and the county fair is ongoing. And in the afternoon the cicadas are louder than the birds. All is right in the world.

Interesting in that the ripples (gravity waves?) in Iowaare kind of west to east. The ripples in Indiana the ripples are sort of south to north. Where they meet the sky goes clear.

lol on sticking the wife on the balcony for the spot report.

^That was cool looking.

That looks very impressive on the radar and satellite. Hope it holds together enough to give me some measurable precipitation.

0.61" here around noon. Perfect timing I was going to have to water the flowers if they did not receive any moisture today.

Always nice when a rain drops the temps to simply bearable. Summer for the win.

When I started mowing it was 79/72/no HI. I just finished and it is 88/73/96. A tad warm but I beat the rain/sprinkles/clouds rolling through. Now to go get some lunch and a nap in the A/C is called for.

^ I would have been screaming pull over and let me get a good shot of the rainbow. lol . Then promptly shipped myself to Antartica.

0.37" in the tippy bucket from the late afternoon/early evening gulley-washer rain. One county east of me the radar estimates say they might have got over 3 inches of rain. That would ha been too much.

And less than 100 miles south of you, I only had 1.39" in my tippy bucket.

TIme sensitive but cool looking. The radar out of Linciln IL is showing three outflow boundaries. Two parallel and one perpendicular.

7-1 Back Home Again in Indiana Of course after an 11 hour car ride, the sunset was extra special and not to be missed. I am going to over-share as it was rather nice to get back home to. Looking SSW as I got out to the overpass and all the cirrus in the sky. The contrail and contrail shadow was rather vivid for being so far away. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm... A two sided sundog (parhelia). Taken with the 24-70mm at 31mm... The parhelia on the south side when it was at its brightest. Taken with the 24-70mm at 57mm... And now the sunset and all the colors starting with the whites. Taken with the 24-70mm at 57mm... As the oranges were creeping in. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... As deep as the colors got. Taken with the 100mm and cropped in the camera... Cheers!

6-28 Some early morning New York cirrus. Taken with the 24-70mm at 41mm...

6-27 Some mid-afternoon New York cumulus. Taken with the 100mm...

6-22 was a fairly generic sunset. Pre-sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Post sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 31mm...

0.58" here so far. Looks like the bigger numbers are going to be north and west of me. I am not greedy but I could use another inch on top of what I got already. Keeping my fingers crossed.

6-19 had a humid night look to it. Not going to go back and check but it did look that way. Some broad crepuscular rays to start. Taken with the 24-70mm at 47mm... More rays. Taken with the 100mm... Some nice color graduation. Taken with the 100mm and cropped in camera...

August will be rocking.

Going through my point and click on NWS, all I get is a 504 Gateway Time Out, if I try the air quality forecast through there. If I try airnow.gov. I get DNS server is not responding. Guess I will have to wait for Monday to see if anyone returns from the holiday and can resolve it on that end.

Bummer, everything at airnow.gov seems to be down now. You have me curious about how bad it is here now and especially yesterday.

I would have to disagree here. I have been taking pictures of clouds for quite awhile now. Just on this computer I only go back to 2014. 6-2-2014 to be exact and the sunsets have looked the same even back then... If I were to really dig, I could go back another ten years at least but I do not feel the urge to put in the effort.

What chu talkin about Willis. KIND KLOT and even KDAY are all reporting. Are you talking about PWS in your area?
