Brewers Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Only 0.10" at the airport this afternoon but we definitely had more than that on the south side of the city. Its a nice evening though, 75 right now but still a bit humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Feels like fall out today...but I guess anything below 90F feels cool at this point. Today may screw with our July record heat. Had rain last night...about 2 miles from home on my bike it opens up ...sheets of hard rain/strong wind... like biking through a washing machine. It was not even raining by the time I got home.

Brewers Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We've picked up 3.40" since July 13th, finally some grass to cut!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Brewers0 I cut mine this morning...luckily my backyard is mostly shaded and i haven't mowed in a month, so its stayed green the whole time. Front is kind of coming back. Alek- Sounds awesome. Layovers suck, but at least its in Germany, not New Jersey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Looks like the atmosphere is getting ready to pop some more showers. Nice rain tally Brewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 DL - my yard is turning green but the drought has definitely left its mark. My job consists of cutting grass most of the time so it's nice to see the fields bouncing back. Geos - It's been nice being in the areas getting all the recent rains, especially since we almost went a month without any. Edit: a couple of nice towering cumulus clouds over the lake. Also a funnel cloud was reported east of Milwaukee earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We're getting a nice pop up rain shower or thunderstorm. All of a sudden started pouring. We had on and off rain this afternoon. We've gone from famine to a bit of a feast this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 As an example of how out of control this drought has gotten, Terre Haute made it to 99 today despite 850 mb model progs of 18-19C. You wouldn't expect anything more than low/MAYBE mid 90s under normal circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 83° today for a high, down to a nice cool 74° now. 0.03" of rain today so far. 4" for the month is quite reachable in the next 4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
