cyclone77 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Pretty cool looking visible loop out in the western Plains this afternoon. You can see 3 or 4 separate smoke plumes in southeast Montana, with a new one starting up in northeast Wyoming late afternoon. After a very coo morning and early afternoon, we recovered back to 80 for a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hopefully the big torch the Euro shows leading in to Labor Day weekend to close out summer is correct..

I agree with you, it'll stay below 1.00" (or not one more drop the rest of August). Hopefully the fortunes turn better in September. Yep, moderate drought conditions definitely expanded south/southwest. The abnormally dry conditions over Tippecanoe County is a little puzzling. 5.84" since July 23rd at LAF. Though I guess the southern portion of the county hasn't been as wet, but we've certainly had our fair share here in August. Been lucky really.

snowstormcanuck Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looks like we're heading into a repeat, albeit of a lesser magnitude, of July next week, with the heat ridge re-establishing itself over the southern plains/SE. Storm track displaced well to the north. Sigh. I'll be back in 10 days when hopefully the weather turns interesting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel bad for those folks. But yes, the ridge looks to expand farther to the east as we get to the last days of Aug/early Sept. Hopefully not for long... OKC F6.
