kab2791 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nice 13* temp drop in the last 10 minutes from gust front. Can even see some intra-cloud lightning from some very distant storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Send cool air west! Looks like the front is moving in from the Sparta direction. Maybe ~20 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like I'm getting screwed again.... My soil is so dry, the rain eating humidity level devours more precip chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Took a bike ride...Good sized cumulonimbus just east of La Crosse ...packed full of lightning...some wind...could tell it was raining under it. Dew point shot up to 74F.... sweating like a pig on my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Up to 27 90+ degree days here. Only 4 days this month failed to reach 90. Was looking back through the climate data for last month. Forgot how cool June started off. Only hit 68 here on June 1st, and had a low of 44. Didn't get the first 90 in June until the 15th. It's almost like as soon as we hit mid June a switch got flipped and it got hot and stayed hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 4KM NAM develops quite a bit of convection associated with a surface low riding the boundary later tomorrow afternoon. Starts in Iowa and moves east affecting southern Wisconsin, Illinois, and even into Indiana later tomorrow night. Looks promising. Skilling's RPM model tonight showed a similar scenario FWIW.

aurora Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like the storms in Western Lower will die out before reaching here, which means this may be yet another dry frontal passage. Currently living off the ~4" of rain from two weeks ago, MBY would be screwed otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It appears these are being triggered by the same boundary that came through yesterday, it's stalled just west of here. Three cells in a row have popped up just west of Madison. 2nd cell is giving us a good soaking, third cell looks like it could be the most direct hit. Hopefully they keep developing.

BowMeHunter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 NOW LOOK FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR FROM MADISON EAST TO MILWAUKEE TO DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING HOURS. THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS OF RAIN...AND POSSIBLY SOME SMALL HAIL AS THEY TRACK EAST AT 25 MPH. BE ALERT FOR WATER PONDING ON figured i would check the radar and see just how close to the north the rain would miss here...no..no..its diving just barely to my sw this time. at least i get some thunder and clouds again Michigan poster whining over.

wisconsinwx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I had a couple quick moderate showers in the last 24 hours, but that was it. I'm beyond tired of seeing all the forcing and convective action continually hit Central and Northern Wisconsin. They took the lion's share of the snow this past winter as well, as evidenced by the 2011-12 snowfall map posted above. Hopefully tonight's action can focus a bit further south.
