Geos Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 There's a large grass fire on the northwest side of Indy right now. Under control and out by the looks of it. http://www.wthr.com/story/19114988/firefighters-fight-grass-fire-near-eagle-creek-airpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Outflow just blew through here with 40-50mph wind gusts. The stronger gusts lasted almost 10min. Pretty impressive for just outflow. Could actually hear limbs breaking in the distance, which made it sound a lot worse than it was. Probably off some dead trees or something. The storms have largely **** the bed over the last hour or so, so don't expect much rain here. Was nice to see some weather action other than the heat again.

Too bad the outflow has become so separated from the storms around there. Even with nocturnal cooling there is still sufficient instability to keep a robust system going if mesoscale factors were cooperating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with nocturnal cooling there is still sufficient instability to keep a robust system going if mesoscale factors were cooperating... Yeah for a short while it looked like the cool pool would keep the surface based storms propagating along fast enough to keep up with the outflow, but it fell a bit short. If we would have had just a bit more support in the mid levels it probably would have been a pretty wild evening around these parts. Still made for some interesting weather at least. Some elevated cells mixed in with some stratified rain could bring a few tenths of much needed rain to the QCA later on. Not even close enough to put a dent in the drought, but it will surely help raise the moral of many who are beginning to get worried about the long term impacts of the drought.

Brewers Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Man the thunderstorms from last night sure fell apart quickly, only picked up 0.05". 71 right now, maybe we can get something to develop off the lake breeze later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Picked up 0.04" of rain from last night's action. July total up to 0.59". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I was fortunate to get a half inch of rain last night and no damage at all to my garden. Iowa City only got 0.03", and that is their total for the entire month. I'm now at 0.90" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I wish the dewpoint would go the fook below 70, it's been 70+ for days and my AC is slowly flooding my apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 High of 92 here despite considerable clouds. Highest hourly reading has been 87...the ol 5 degree intrahour bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Lake breeze just moved through I think, but it was a very light one, only dropped the temps about half a degree from 87F to 86.4F. MKX thinks the lake breeze may enhance convergence and aid in the development of more storms perhaps, and with the line filling in through much of the state, looks like another round of t'storms is likely.

wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Actually, the real lake breeze just moved through and dropped the temp from 87.6 to 85.5. Hopefully the sun comes back out for awhile before the storms get here, and hopefully any NE winds are halted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Really feeling unstable out there. @ 87. Edit: Lake breeze blew through about 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 92 here today. 21st 90+ of the month, 35th of the year. Picked up another 0.14" of rain the developing line of storms a few hours ago. Total for the day up to 0.18", and month 0.73". Not much rain in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Solid thunderstorm moving through, temp has dropped 10 degrees since it started raining. Looks like I'm about to get it next. Gust front just blew through here and dropped the temperature 12°! Edit: Figures, storms fire over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like 0.00" with the front here. Man, just end this miserable summer (and year) already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Forgot to mention that the wind last night from the outflow blew a crapload of leaves off many of the trees. Both the back and front yard are covered by mainly dead looking leaves. Don't ever recall so many leaves falling so early. I'm guessing it's from heat stress mainly, as all the trees are very mature and likely reach very deep underground. Another thing to consider is the leaves this year are about a month older than normal, so I guess it would make sense for the trees to lose their leaves a bit earlier than normal this year.

wisconsinwx Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Got lucky with the line of showers and thunderstorms blowing through. They briefly trained, meaning I had about 40-45 minutes of moderate to heavy rain and probably ended up a bit shy of half an inch. Finally some meaningful downpours.
