cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Got the lawn mowed and the gutters cleaned out this afternoon. Sweated quite a bit with the dews hanging in the low 70s. The nice breeze definitely helped though. Now that all the lawn work's done it can rain all it wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Alek is definitely going to get some rain out of this. Just getting missed to the west by a few micro cells. Quite a bit of thunder with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally writing it off but I'd much rather be in northern IL or somewhere close to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a boring 2014 severe weather season for us. Guess we're paying now for the Nov 2013 tornadoes...and the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I noticed the bolded. It led to a pretty expansive Cirrostratus deck that you could see down here in NE Detroit. I didn't know where it was from though. There were reports of places way inland in St. Clair and Macomb county of ashes falling from the sky because of it. Oops. DTW's back down to 86*F at 3 PM (from 87*F at 2 PM). Oh well... City Airport did indeed make it to 90 today though, even though that isn't the official reporting spot.

cyclone77 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Picked up over a half inch of rain in the last 20 mins or so. Now well over 7" for the month. One of the wettest months in quite some time. Gonna have to go back and look up the last time we had this much rain in a month here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Birds or insects from the river? One of the DVN mets posted a similar image earlier and mentioned that it was may flies hatching. When I first saw that I thought maybe bats, but that would be a hell of a lot of bats lol. Made it up to 84 today. Dews held in the low 70s most of the day.

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 June is over in about 22mins, so close enough for me to post the summary. Most notable highlights here for the month is the lack of heat, with only one day aoa 90. Also the 12"+ of rain for the month, with nearly 10" of that falling in the last 11 days of the month..

Geos Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'll post the rest of my stats later, but for rainfall; I picked up 7.08" for June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Daily rainfall record at Chicago/ORD yesterday. The 2.60" that fell broke the previous record of 2.59" (1977). Also...June finished as the 5th wettest on record for Chicago/ORD... Wettest Junes on Record: 1. 10.58" - 1892 2. 9.96" - 1993 3. 8.89" - 1950 4. 8.75" - 1967 5. 7.81" - 2014 6. 7.62" - 1926 7. 7.25" - 1916 8. 7.18" - 2009 9. 7.09" - 1970 10. 6.97" - 1928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 June was a pretty great month for a couple reasons. First, I got 14.38" of rain, which smokes the old Cedar Rapids record for wettest June. The only other double-digit monthly rainfall totals I've had since I started keeping track seven years ago were June 2008(11+") and August 2009(12+"). Second, it was a very pleasant month temp-wise. The entire month only had two days that rose above 85 degrees. In addition to the general greatness of the month, on the 16th I experienced my worst storm in years. It was windy with good lightning for over 30 minutes and there was significant tree damage in my area. I even briefly went to the basement when the severe wind hit and small tree debris began hitting the house. Then, this past Sunday night I experienced the heaviest rain in my lifetime. I received an incredible 4.8" of rain in about 70 minutes. It's unlikely I'll ever seen something like that again. If July brings half the rain and only one great storm it'll still be another good month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 June was just plain wet. Never seen so much fog in the month before. Stats. An interesting fact; since I started keeping detailed precipitation records in 2002, June is averaging the wettest month of the year at 4.80".

hawkeye_wx Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 An interesting fact; since I started keeping detailed precipitation records in 2002, June is averaging the wettest month of the year at 4.80". After reading this I checked my data. Over the last eight years my yard has average a very impressive 7.59" of rain in June. Only June 2012 was below avg with only 1.77". The other seven Junes have been above to well above to ridiculously above avg. It has been quite a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
