wisconsinwx Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The Chicago to Racine corridor is just getting soaked today! mkxradar100513.png After some areas received over an inch from the first storm (Brookfield, who received about an inch and a quarter in 30 minutes is an example), Milwaukee County is back in the downpours. Already found some street flooding in Downtown Milwaukee from the first storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 After some areas received over an inch from the first storm (Brookfield, who received about an inch and a quarter in 30 minutes is an example), Milwaukee County is back in the downpours. Already found some street flooding in Downtown Milwaukee from the first storm. 1.50" on the dot here. Plus the 0.25" yesterday. About at the average yearly precipitation total now - still 2 3/4 months to go! The ground wasn't able to absorb all that rain - there's pools and stream running through the yards. ...actually getting another light t-shower right now. Edit: 1.52" through 7pm.

Nice to hear! I'm sure there are no complaints from you about next week's weather either, looks like comfortable temps all week, and sun after Monday.

daddylonglegs Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 We had more rain last night then the whole month of Sept...that helped. I've been digging holes for fence posts and before this rain...you'd get down about 18 inches or so and hit almost concrete like soil...i was having to fill the holes with water to soften up the soil (which here is more or less sand)... pretty crazy how dry the subsoil got... i dug a couple holes today that were fine, so all that rain really soaked into the soil. Oktoberfest still going ont his weekend... drunks flipped 3 cars over last weekend (its an annual thing it would seem)... probably be a lot more quiet this weekend.

cyclone77 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Crystal clear blue skies with no haze for the first time in awhile. Dropped down to 43 early this morning, and the temps have only rebounded back to 52 despite full sun. Feels like Actobah out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 You will get over a tenth today. Look at the radar.... I'm on a trajectory to have a very broken non-continuous precip shield pass over me. I might end up with next to nothing. I haven't had a drop since late last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Still raining here at Elkhart, but the back edge of the precip is along U.S. 30 to the south of me and moving north and a sharp cloud to clear boundary on the IL.IN state line before the backlash cloudiness sets in.
