Chicago WX Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sure could use some rain in the drought ravaged LAF, but looks like the storms tonight will miss well north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sure could use some rain in the drought ravaged LAF, but looks like the storms tonight will miss well north. Gotta cut into this massive 1.38" deficit we've run up since June 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sure could use some rain in the drought ravaged LAF, but looks like the storms tonight will miss well north. Look like the line is sinking south. Activity south of Kankakee may be heading your way. Interesting to note: Lake Michigan is on average -8.9° compared to this time last year.

Chitown Storm Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 That line is definitely heading south. Stronger portion of that line south of Kankakee might hit LAF...if it holds its intensity. Appears to be weakening a tad. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Central IN socked in with the heavy rain tonight! Still cloudy and mild here. Had to turn on the AC for a bit since it's not cooling off very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Weak. Haha. 77° inside was just a bit too much. House is brick - heats up quite easily. AC is off now - starting to clear and cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Gotta cut into this massive 1.38" deficit we've run up since June 1. 0.70" at LAF. Hopefully that cuts down on the daily dust storms. For real though, with the missing rainfall/obs from earlier...that probably puts LAF at around normal for summer. Ho hum. FWA has received a bit more than their normal August rainfall in the past two days...3.75" for Aug 2-3. Normal August rainfall is 3.64". Also, broke a daily record at FWA...and it was the 4th wettest August calendar day on record. 4.93" on August 1, 1926 4.78" on August 26, 1899 3.88" on August 9, 1957 3.59" on August 2, 2013 3.40" on August 20, 2007 RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 0124 AM EDT SAT AUG 03 2013 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL SET AT FORT WAYNE... A RECORD RAINFALL OF 3.59 INCHES WAS SET AT FORT WAYNE YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1.71 SET IN 1921. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Picked up 0.58" in my bucket. Was relaxing to fall asleep to the storms last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Was relaxing to fall asleep to the storms last night. Absolutely agree. Only thing better to me is morning storms (7:00am or later)...especially on days I don't have to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 As of around 11:30pm that particular corridor in N Indiana (my old stomping grounds) has had 2-3 rounds of 3-5"of rain this summer. A far cry from last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 2.68" IMBY, mostly between 10 PM and 1 AM. 23 CoCoRaHS reports of 2.50"+ across Northern IN, with a near 5" bullseye around Warsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I like having electricity You can get strong/severe t'storms and not lose electricity, just like you can get snow in the winter and slip/fall on ice. Just as well, you can have cool weather with sunny skies at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just read through the Dec 19-21 2012 blizzard threads. Already starting to look forward to snowstorm tracking season. 81 out there with crystal clear skies. Been wasting the day so far inside, but time to head out there and enjoy it.

Hoosier Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 If we don't drop below 66 through the end of the day, we will break an 11 day streak of below average temps. High has been 82 (2 degrees below avg), low has been 66 (2 degrees above avg) so the daily stands at 0 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It looks like we may well go through much of the month of August without a torch. Certainly the next two weeks look average to below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Exciting times this summer is, eh? It's been pretty boring, so I guess this is what it has come to. Already down to 66 so doesn't look like it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasantly boring temperature-wise, which is cool with me. Pun intended. Alas, since the late March snowstorm...it's really been a snoozer in the LAF. Severe weather has really blown the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
