Plenty of saturated soils over the MW after all the rain the last few months.  Should take a big bite out of the heat at least for June, if not the whole summer. 

 

Decent chance for a very active June, too I would think.  This is definitely going more down the path of a '00, '04, '08, and '10 summer than '05, '11, and '12 (key words for those summers, hot and dryish).

Wondering when the storms might fire tomorrow. Disco's suggest morning mainly before the dry slot moves in. Hoping the first day of June isn't rain the majority of the day.

 

Skilling showing the severe weather threat mainly east of I-57 tomorrow.

Yeah I'm thinking the wet soils will lead to some positive feedback regarding later storm events.  Not really sure what degree that will be, but it seems that wet soils this time of year tend to breed more wet soils, if you will.

We saw much of the opposite last year for awhile with drought breeding drought.

 

Yeah this time last year, we were getting pretty dry. I don't know if I even mowed the grass in June last year! Maybe I did right in the beginning.

 

With Iowa soaked right now, any heat dome that builds won't have the same power as the ones did last year. We had already made 97° by this time last year.

FWA's rainfall totals are going to be skewed. The northern 2/3rd's of Allen County has had 2.5"+ of rain per radar estimates with a large swath of 3+ plus. There is some pretty good flash/urban flooding going on in town.

 

Yet at the airport in southern third of the county, less than an inch has fallen.

Some impressive totals I've seen from Allen County this morning.

 

LAF bit the dust early this morning, so no accurate rainfall totals there. But the couple of local observers I've seen so far are right around 1.00" total. Which of course, already beats what we saw total in June 2012.

Yes and I'm very thankful. I can handle heat, but do not enjoy droughts.

 

To expound a little on my post above, FWA officially recorded 1.21" in the past 24 hrs. Meanwhile, some CoCoRaHS amounts from the north side of Ft. Wayne:

 

4.1 NE   5.35"

2.6 NE   5.27"

5.5 N     4.84"

 

It's the same over my way. My gauge caught 0.56". Meanwhile, less than 20 miles north of me (around Columbia City):

 

0.5 NNE    4.73"

3.6 WNW  4.61"

6.6 SSE    4.42"

5.4 N        4.22"

From May 27th through 8am today, June 1st, I have had 1.85" of rain imby (DTW has had 2.05" in that stretch). Its kind of reminicent of the many heavy snow squalls we got in the winter. Absolute whiteouts but at the end of the day, snowfall shows up in the record books as a modest 2" or so. None of the storms/showers this week have been severe here or had impressive daily rainfall totals, but there have been some mighty heavy downpours off and on.

Wayne county/ downriver was in the screw zone for the severe. Just to north it was a different story.

Odds we skate through summer without hitting 100 or a dew of 80?
