BowMeHunter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 lulz..the STW is focused a bit farther south. Maybe being left out by one county will change our luck, wiscwx? I've seen good things come from being left out in winter before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like we might get a below normal day here. First one in a long time. Not because of anything other than much needed light rain. 84*F as of 2 PM (84*F is the normal high). Looks like sunshine for the better part of the afternoon too. Even then, the average temp for today will still be well above average thanks to the warm overnight low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen good things come from being left out in winter before I'd like to think that way, and it certainly is still humid, even with the drop in temps. Skyvision Plus' Fox 6 forecast seems to always show a batch of showers/t'storms with these systems passing through a day or two out, only to disappear as we get closer. I used to think that model was very accurate, but it is no better than the NAM or GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 nice rain moving across northern wi - shocker. 80/70 out. I'd just as soon be in the total misery to the south to at least have any chance for rains. guess its just not meant to be yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because once they're in the convection, their obs would be similar to ours except we're under a high angle sun with parched dry ground. I'm getting to the point where I feel like I have to wait until winter for interesting weather, and even that is no guarantee this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Pretty cool visible satellite loop this afternoon. Anvil cirrus over Illinois was actually blowing northwestward as the cells drifted southeast. Don't see that very often in the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nice pictures IWX! Anvil tops blocked out the sun here almost an hour ago. Scud clouds are moving in off the lake towards the convection, which is pretty cool looking. Made it to 83° today. Storm that blew up over southern Lake County this morning.

IWXwx Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Good for FWA, 1.22" of rainfall there today. Here's the radar estimates from today. Very splotchy. FWA is located where I placed the red dot. Notice that just north of the airport, there are estimates of over 3 inches and just south under 1/2". It very easily could have looked a lot better or a lot worse.

Hoosier Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Some tiny cells inching this way but might end up skirting just north. Also IND radar appears to be picking up the wind farm to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tis the nature of these small cells. It's happened here a few times where LAF got little to nothing, while the south side cashed in...and vice versa. But hey, at least some locations are getting decent totals...better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
