Wx 24/7 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 While our highs over here in SW MO aren't not as exceptional as they are just over the border in Oklahoma, I am amazed at how high the mercury keeps getting each day even under extensive cloud cover. The high here yesterday was 102º even though we were essentially socked in the clouds all day. That makes me wonder just how hot it would have been if we would have had full sun.

JoMo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I do hope we get rain as well. Not sure it'll happen though. Awful fires in Oklahoma, been listening to the scanner feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The winds today are only making matter worse in that regard. Winds may relax some later today though, which will help the battle somewhat. Already sitting at 102º at noon. This may be the warmest day so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozarkwx Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Turns out we got a couple rounds giving us a robust 1.13". Owing to laws of reverse psychology, the drought should be winding down now that we installed a bunch of irrigation lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I wound up with .3" of rain in the gauge this morning. We did get some wind with the storms... neighbor lost a pear tree. I had some limbs strewn into the road. Hoping that this is the start of some more precip, but I don't see that in the next 48 hours. I guess I may have to start digging some irrigation lines, too, ozarkwx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I sure hope it rains tomorrow. We somehow managed to miss out on all the rain yesterday, making today our 70th day in a row with less than 0.10" of rainfall. In fact, over the past 68 days, we've only received 0.21" of rain. Sigh.

MoWeatherguy Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Had quarter sized hail here on the NW side of town about 5:30. Had a gust to about 50 mph, too! Nickel sized here east of town but the biggest story was the rain. 1.70 here which makes it the biggest one-day rain total here in several months.

MoWeatherguy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 For the sake of our drought stricken areas I hope the track of Isaac comes further west, as shown on the 12z GFS tonite. The Euro had a similar track a day or so ago. Something like tonites GFS depiction of Isaac would put a big dent in a lot of our dryness. Would not be good for New Orleans and the LA gulf coast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoWeatherguy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The bad thing is the GFS is on an island by itself WRT Isaac now. Defin the westward extent of all guidance. The Euro had it in NE OK a couple of days ago so maybe it was onto something then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro had it in NE OK a couple of days ago so maybe it was onto something then? Most of the early 00Z guidance now has it in either AR or E OK after landfall (with the notable exception of the eastern 'camp' which takes it into TN).
