June 2011 general discussion/obs thread


Recommended Posts

Every Fall we hear "winter cancel" for no reason, and yes this goes for all of our very snowy winters of late...so its no surprise to hear "summer cancel" now. Those have become overly used phrases on weather boards lol. However, we should definitely see some cooler than normal weather. Tomorrow may barely hit 70, and normal high is now 78.

LOL we do NOT need any rain. In what has been a nonstop year of moisture, 1 week of bone dry weather is not hurting, and I actually think the lawns are pretty darn green considering the heat of the past few days, sure some spots are browning, but its not nearly as bad as Ive seen in years past.

Were only 3-6 inches (SEMI) above average since Oct 1st. Bark is worse then the bite, but I do agree that we dont need rain...not yet

No heat wave in sight through June 20th on Euro.. Just be right and extend that to right before the 4th weekend and then bring in some firecracka heat :guitar:

ECMWF if verifies, looks to cook us real good and dry us out also. We shall see however, even after the the heat recently, this shot of milder air does feel good.

LOL. There seems to be some disagreement here, unless the Euro cooks Chicago but keeps things mild in Wisconsin.

Yeah, that big ull the models are showing dropping into the west coast next week is giving the models the next problem to solve. The GFS is the most progressive while the GGEM is going Torchetta by 144hrs. The op Euro is sorta whaffling and probably a bit to slow right now on development.

We should have a good idea Monday if it will be our next "heat wave" or just a unsatisfying quickie that turns cooler fast and torches the east coast instead.

Wouldn't a western ULL be good for heat in the central and eastern CONUS?

Yeah, but that 3-6" surplus is including below normal precip in Oct, Dec, and Jan. In fact, heres an interesting way to look at it. The Dec-Jan 2-month total precip was only 2.81", with snowfall of 27.2", so those two months totaled an impressive 1.61" BELOW average for precip, but 4.2" above normal for snow. Its owing to the fact that much of January's snow was powder with almost no rain. Since snow is what most people think of precip-wise in those months, it certainly wouldnt seem below normal, but precip-wise it was, and that negative eats into the positive departure since Oct 1st.

Then of course Feb 1st came the barrage of very heavy snow, much of it moisture laden, and more snow and heavy rain in March, then very heavy rains in Apr/May. So if we forget about the fact that we are only 3-6" above normal since Oct 1st, heres a new way to look at it. Since Feb 1st we are about 7" above normal!

On a side note, Wednesdays high 96F, Friday's high 64F. lol, an interesting June week in MI!

3.24 inches of rain in 90 minutes at Cincinnati (CVG) ...... 2.5 inches at my suburban Cinci spot since 5 PM, with another heavy rain batch coming. Lots of lightning with these storms.

As with other regions ..... people were complaining about "how dry" it has been the last week. DId they all forget March, April, and May?!?!?!

Brilliant. And only 8 minutes between the posts. BowMe FTW for correct analysis of the Euro...Respiratory Guy FTL.

Sorry Hoosier, I peeked. ;)

More rain approaching from the west out in Iowa. Doesn't look heavy though.

Set my weather station so it uploads every 2 seconds to Weather Underground. Pretty cool. Put the link in my signature if anyone ever wants to check it out. :guitar:

What software are you using? ...I know there are a few brands out there.

Using the Davis Serial WeatherLink and data logger. To get all the info onto the internet I'm using Virtual Weather Station Internet Edition V14.01. Seems to be working well so far, but I can't get the old data from before yesterday onto the internet yet. Doesn't really matter as long as it loads from here on out.

The EURO tried but failed with the next ridge..Although the GFS is sniffing it out sooner. Something gives soon here.

It's likely a Ridge sets up shop soon. Question is when. ECMWF has been giving and taking too much for confidence. Hard to hug it ATM.

lulz, ok :weenie::P

Only thing the GFS is sniffing early is its stinky arse and often. Why do you even bother looking at GFS? save yourself the agony of GFS defeat and ride the Euro's nuts for 20 or 30 bucks a month.

Yea, those are the most popular software packages.

I'm sure i'll be following your station when a nice wind producing storm is rolling through. :guitar:

I have to get myself hooked up with the software and onto Weather Underground or Weather Bug one one of these days.

Yeah I'm pretty happy about it. My only concerns are if a real big storm hits and the power goes out. That could interrupt the data feed until power's restored. I also put a graphic on one of the pages of my website here.
