hawkeye_wx Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Same old same old around here. The rain shield north of the storms was pretty feeble. I managed to get only 0.17". That's the way the year has gone and why we're down about 4 inches over the last six weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Last of the rain winding down. Finished up with 0.81" for the day. 0.47" that fell in a very short time early this afternoon, followed by 0.34" of stratiform anvil rain from the dying complex this evening. Doppler radar estimate are off for your area then - showing 0.75"+ in the last hour! Keeping my fingers crossed I'll get a quarter inch tonight.

Keeping my fingers crossed I'll get a quarter inch tonight. Wow. I've noticed there almost seems to be a bright band effect with these large convective stratiform rain complexes. I wonder if it's from lots of melting hail aloft. There often does seem to be large rain drops falling while it's raining lightly underneath 35+DBZ returns. Just have to be in the right spot, at the right time evidently.

Chicago WX Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Holy crap that's a lot of rain. Nothing like getting a month + of rain in one night. Still raining/storming there...wonder what the totals will be up there? And how quickly the grass will green up? I guess I'll see tomorrow when I get up there for Father's Day. Ah, summertime thunderstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Every station in Indiana knocking a few degrees off late tonight, as to be expected. Not LAF, up two degrees from 10:00pm (76º) to 11:00pm (78º). Worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a strong gust of wind off the rain shield moving in. Edit: 11:40pm, nice steady rain coming down. Should soak into the soil nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Latest RAP has a line of strong t'storms moving through between 11AM and 2PM today. Doubt it, along with its depiction of temps getting to 80*F+ before it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I got 0.25" with brief severe warned cell this afternoon. I thought maybe tonight would be a good soaking but it looks like I'm on the northern fringe of the decaying strataform bull**** from Illinois. Nice way to totally stabilize the atmosphere while giving absolutely nothing worthwhile in terms of needed rain. Meanwhile, the popups that are going to miss me to the north are soaking the counties that have been more lucky all May and June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Almost 0.10" in the gauge now. Rain is slow moving, which is a positive. Would have been nice to get into the kind of rain that fell in Milwaukee and Racine County tonight. BowMe got a good amount of water. Currently 68°/66°.

I remember that happened 10 miles to my west last year. June 21st, more than 5 inches of rain in an hour and a half over eastern Ottowa County. The ground floor at one of the residence halls at GVSU got totally flooded. At my place only two thirds an inch fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just south of the dry slot over Kenosha County, which filled in now. Hoping the heavier showers WSW of here make it in later or something new develops.

Stebo Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 My mighty shield around this airport held strong so far tonight, had a shower form over me, that didn't produce lightning until it was over Canada. Now I have a line that blew up about 30 to 60 miles to my NE through SE that is going bananas with inner cloud lightning right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 LOL Thompson from SPC slashed off severe probs again. Like I said yesterday, he's almost always right. He was yesterday.
