Stebo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So in a few days will this become the flooding in Lower Lakes/Ohio Valley thread. Seeing as there is no drought to be had in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So in a few days will this become the flooding in Lower Lakes/Ohio Valley thread. Seeing as there is no drought to be had in the region. Technically, Central and Western Iowa is in our subforum and they may still have some issues, but we only have a few posters from that area. But otherwise, yes, the drought is but a memory.

Geos Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Looks like this thread has about run it's course. Only area to watch is up in WI and parts of MN and IA like IWX said. Definitely won't see a drought resurgence eastward anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 While the rest of the Midwest has been soaked this year, we've been relatively dry ... straddling the border of the dry Northeast conditions. This is % of normal precip for 2013 YTD. It will be interesting to see if this dryness expands westward or if the wet pattern pushes eastward as we go through spring: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 See a little D0 creeping across the border into se OH. Hopefully that cut off low rain will catch that area in the next couple days. With the snow that fell in NW WI, the drought there is probably mostly gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how 2001 compares to 2013 in SE Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Some new patches of D0 on the latest update, not surprising given short term dryness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 If we don't see appreciable rain out in the DVN cwa then I could see D0 expanding east a bit for the next update...or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If we don't catch a rain here in the Western part of Illinois soon we are going to probably see that D0 head this way. Corn is starting to roll around here as it's getting dry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Gotta think D0 will be in parts of West Michigan starting with this week's update. We had a lot of rain earlier this spring, but June and July have turned quite dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Des Moines has only received 0.25" of rain this month. Could change in a big way tonight. Big complex to their north looking to sink straight south right at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Des Moines has only received 0.25" of rain this month. I have had 0.57" here. Not much better in this part of Michigan although others have fared far better than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an expansion on the next update, that gets my vote as the most likely area. Also MI is another area to watch as has been said. Combine this with a dry July...

michsnowfreak Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Didn't realize how dry northern lower and eastern UP of MI was. Definitely not dry around here.Nor here. Plentiful rainfall and only 5 days of 90f (all in a row too) here have led to green grass all summer long. Been a while since weve had a summer without a period of some brown. Grass hasn't been brown here since early-mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If I were a betting man I would say parts of Ottawa Co., MI as well as parts of northern lower are in D0 this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherdavewi Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Didn't realize how dry northern lower and eastern UP of MI was. Definitely not dry around here. Quite typical for this time of year. After all, the summer is our "dry season" up this way for most of the lake effect areas, as those same lakes that give us the snow in winter shadow us out from convection typically. Did get a nice round for many areas (minus Gaylord proper) the other day, but it really looks like a nice setup for a soaker up this way out ahead of that amplifying upper low on Friday. Plenty of moisture streaming in combined with a nice axis of mid level difluence and even some strong hints of upper jet support offer good chances for some substantial amounts (greater than an inch) where things are currently dry.

WestMichigan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 D0 didn't make it into MI this week. A small patch did show up in IN near the OH border. I wonder how small of an area they measure. There has been rain all around us recently so I wonder if that was enough to keep us out of D0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 And so it begins. Hoosier is pleased that Dust Bowl II, or III if last year was II, is underway in Indiana. Same time last year. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 On the flip side. Here in Cleveland we are running a staggering 35.60" rainfall SURPLUS over the past 30 months. Sure, there's been some short term dryness in there, but long term it's been insanely rainy in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
