Indystorm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Maybe we'll get some scattered pop ups tonight. I only have a 30% chance in my point for tomorrow here in Michiana. Kids back to school in this area. Not really looking forward to 90's next week. Dews were already in the mid 60's here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Several small lines of storms trying to organize over Lake MI, southern WI and northern IL ahead of the main show in central WI. I think I just saw lightning off in the distance.....first time in well over a month. Pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like a potential line trying to get going west of here. Very warm and breezy for this time of night. Edit: Severe thunderstorm warning for Racine county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 T-storm warnings for Racine and Kenosha counties. Looks like that cell is heading in my general direction. I can see lightning already. Hail the size of quarters possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just 10 so far... May- 1 Jun- 2 Jul- 7 Aug- 0 EDIT: I'll have to go back and check sometime, but I think at this point last year I had 40-50, or something like that. What an amazing difference a year makes. Yea, no doubt a large swing. ORD had 40 90+ days last year through the 21st, compared to only 7 this year. And fixed... Just 11 so far... May- 1 Jun- 2 Jul- 7 Aug- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah you're looking good where you're at. The storms north of you and west of me are trying organize into a line moving ESE. I hope I get something out of this. I haven't seen a drop of rain in weeks. The main line in central WI into NE Iowa appears to be splitting apart and might not make it here overnight. Looks like that cell is heading in my general direction. I can see lightning already. Hail the size of quarters possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Even the light stratiform rain NW of the area is shriveling up before it arrives. Looks like a dry frontal passage, not the first we've had this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a dry frontal passage, not the first we've had this summer. Too bad the thunderstorm activity to the north isn't dropping more southward. They look like soakers. Starting to thunder here now. Edit 9:35: Raining now and thundering a bit. Cell did weaken a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Western lower Michigan looks to be in the money tonight. That's a nice N-S line forming over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 The cells in NE IL just seem to be meandering around not doing much. Had enough rain to wet everything down... and make it more humid. Can see the cold front/lake front coming down through Milwaukee now on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Only going to end up with some light showers here, but tons of anvil crawlers and CtC lightning....making for some decent shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Storms missed this area by a long shot. Point forecast from here on out looks bone dry for the next 7+ days. Looks like this will be the first month in a long time where we get less than an inch for the month. If we wouldn't have been smoked good by one of the very few storm events (back in June) I'd be feeling pretty frustrated with this summer at this point. Been one of the faggiest summer severe seasons I've ever seen for the MW as a whole. It has been a great summer for outdoor activities though. One of the best summers I've seen for multiple sunny and 80 degree/low humidity weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hit 90 yesterday. Was hot and humid but felt good. Had 1.1" of much needed rain last night. Hopefully I can ride the northern fringe of next weeks heat, with several chances of showers/storms riding the top of the heat ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Storms bypassed the CR/IC area again this morning. Many locations from CR southward have received less than 0.10" of rain this month. Burlington has only received a trace. It appears later this morning is the last chance this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Full sunshine right now, which is surprising given we're in the wake of an MCS/MCV. Not expecting anything of consequence this afternoon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that old so I'll say I think somewhat similar to last year but more balanced/frontloaded comparatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not that old so I'll say I think somewhat similar to last year but more balanced/frontloaded comparatively. a meh/below normal winter where we fight for every inch sounds about a fair call. After the past few Decembers I'm gun shy going front-loaded.. I think we do ok after Jan 15th with a nice run but still fall short of avg snowfall. mke said 80% chance of rain last night and nothing. 20% chance today... will the rain out power the marine influence? seems its influence has been weakening some so maybe we can sneak a tenth or 2 of rain in?

What marine influence? The last hour the winds were offshore, and the temps/DPs were similar to inland areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov 16.1" Dec 20.8" Jan 25.7" Feb 13.3" How sweet would that be. 53/54= 17.8" winter. 8.3" for dec/jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 yeah looks better now like i said.. you must not have seen the marine influence on radar earlier. No I did not, I got up less than an hour ago, did an OFB/lake breeze move through earlier? Of course, just as I said that the winds at MKE shifted NE but the dews are still well into the 60s.

BowMeHunter Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 lake breeze was showing up well on radar earlier and i figured we were doomed to our normal fate. Radar looks pretty solid that the rain could hold on to the east and give us a little surprise if it hurries. Sky looks the part and nice and dark to the west/sw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
