snowlover2 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Bad enough to have to go through a last minute models shift in the winter. Now we get one in the summer. This better not be a sign of things to come this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm guessing we'll get an inch or two here over the next few days. We've been pretty lucky so far. Seems like the lucky keep being lucky and visa versa. Hope some of you other guys get some rain this weekend, you need it more than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Nice... First map outcome would be very nice for this area. Probably a little late for the corn, but could save the beans and other crops withering away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thunderstorms in MN and IA look to be headed straight towards us. MKX bumped our precip chances up to 50% for tonight AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI 351 AM CDT FRI JUL 13 2012 TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTORMS APPROACHING THE MS RIVER IS ASSOCIATED WITH A SLOW MOVING UPPER TROUGH AND WEAK WARM ADVECTION. PWS ARE FAIRLY HIGH IN THIS REGION FROM 1.3-1.6 INCHES WITH 1000-500 MB RH OF 60-70 PERCENT. THE MODELS TAKE THIS HIGHER PWS AND RH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL WI BY AFTERNOON WHEN MODEL PWS ARE AT 1.5 INCHES WITH THE MOIST ATMOSPHERE TO SPREAD EAST FOR TNT. THE VERY DRY SOIL CONDITIONS AND SFC AIR SHOULD INHIBIT SHOWER AND TSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO SOME DEGREE TODAY BUT ATMOSPHERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE MOIST ENOUGH FROM ABOUT 6 KFT AND ABOVE FOR BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS. THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE INTO WRN WI TNT AND SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR GOOD CHANCES OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS ESPECIALLY WITH THE MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND MARGINAL ELEVATED CAPE THAT IS WEAKLY CAPPED FROM ABOUT 6 KFT AND ABOVE. THUS WENT WITH 50 POPS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WI THIS AFTERNOON WITH 50 POPS EVERYWHERE FOR TNT...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF HIGHER POPS ARE NEEDED. SO SOME MINOR RELIEF FROM THE DROUGHT IS EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY BUT WILL ONLY BE BRIEF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Picking up some needed rain here... was pouring at one point... Hopefully it keeps moving east. Was weird to wake up to thunder this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 So much for the rain here... You want to see dry head down to Hillsdale/Calhoun/Jackson Counties. Amazing never seen so much brown in my life. This summer can't end quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauDodson Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Looked nice earlier this week - but just didn't pan out. Picked up about 0.60" so far this week Fulton, KY - near the KY/TN border has picked up more than 8" this week! Feast or famine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Picked up 0.30" from lake breeze storms today. Some areas in the county picked up over 2". Hoping for some more tomorrow.

Chicago WX Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I haven't looked at any models, but having a chance of rain in the forecast for Friday through Tuesday (likely for Friday at that) is a good thing I guess.

wisconsinwx Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This is really funny. Hadn't seen rain for four weeks, traveled to the Quad Cities yesterday to see the John Deere Classic today. We avoided the major rain (which was good), but back home we had a heavy thunderstorm and over an inch of rain in many areas. Last year the biggest severe weather and heavy rain event happened while I was in Maine. I guess I shouldn't take trips anymore lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 one of the better soakings of the year here yesterday...probably a little over an inch...ground was still soaking wet this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 one of the better soakings of the year here yesterday...probably a little over an inch...ground was still soaking wet this morning. Congrats. It seems downtown Chicago has been the hotbed of weather activity in the recent past. An inch of rain in this pattern is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Sounds like a similar setup to yesterday. Lake breeze and instability should be starting up soon. Convection will probably be a bit later due to the cloud deck this morning. LOT FAIRLY EXPANSIVE AREA OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE ALTO STRATUS OVER WESTERN IL/EASTERN MO IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING EASTWARD AND WILL LIKELY RETARD HEATING TODAY LIMITING INSTABILITY. WHERE MIXED SUNSHINE DOES OCCUR EXPECT SUFFICIENT SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP TO SUPPORT RENEWED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT MAY TEND TO FAVOR OUR EASTERN CWA AND POTENTIALLY ALONG LAKE BREEZE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION LIKELY TO GRADUALLY WANE AND SHIFT EASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA TONIGHT AS TROUGH MIGRATES EASTWARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
