Finally just got our power back after being out for about 2 hours.  Definitely don't need any more rain in my area for awhile. 

Unfortunately my tippy bucket fatal errored on me yesterday. Got it fixed this a.m.. Had 1.10 since 7 a.m.. Most of that must have been just before 6 p.m.. I drove home on 100 South and the amount of water over the roadway from field run-off was about the most I remember in awhile.

Keep it up there. We really do not need one drop more. But probably will still get some tomorrow. Hopefully it will stay away tonight. I could use some uninterrupted sleep after last night.

After getting woke up at midnight the previous night.  Was nice to have a quiet night! :lol:

Well since this rain began on Wednesday I have a 2 day Rainfall Total of 1.68" here in Westfield .  I measured 1.56" Thursday morning and another .12" this morning . Those storms yesterday pretty much split right around my location .

 

Now we just wait and see how things develop this afternoon , after we get some daytime heating going on .

Wet and stinky here...  dews in upper 60Fs... calling for 85F today, so should be swampy.  AC back on.

 

Wowsers:

RECORD EVENT REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHANHASSEN MN
0248 AM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014

...RECORD CALENDAR DAY MAXIMUM RAINFALL FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE SET AT
TWIN CITIES MN...

A RECORD RAINFALL IN A CALENDAR DAY FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE OF 4.13
INCHES WAS SET AT THE TWIN CITIES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT YESTERDAY.
THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 3.48 INCHES SET ON JUNE 29TH 1877.

 

Interesting thing here in La Crosse is the Mississippi has been at or near or above flood stage since April?  or so and continues to stay very high, even after having many dry spells locally...the MSP area/other areas of MN/WI have had enough rain to keep the system very high and it looks like its going to really go up in the next week.   Boating/fishing has sucked because of too much current, muddy water, weeds, and a slow no wake ordinance on most of the river locally when its above flood stage (10ft).

BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE
A BIT HIGHER...REACHING INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S.  WITH A WEAK
PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
ACROSS THE REGION.  SO...THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BETWEEN THE WARM
LAND AND THE STILL COLD LAKE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR A LAKE BREEZE
TO DEVELOP...KEEPING LAKEFRONT LOCATIONS ABOUT 10 DEGREES
LOWER...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MIDDLE 70S.

Looked this up with powerball in mind. I compared the decadal averages of yearly 90F+ days with yearly 89F+ days at Detroit.

 

Decade....Avg 90F+ days....Avg 89F+ days...

1870s ---- 4.2 days ---- 6.0 days ***only last 6 years****

1880s ---- 5.1 days ---- 7.8 days

1890s ---- 9.1 days --- 12.1 days

1900s ---- 5.6 days ---- 7.8 days

1910s --- 10.8 days --- 14.1 days

1920s ---- 9.3 days --- 11.8 days

1930s --- 18.7 days --- 22.1 days

1940s --- 16.4 days --- 19.4 days

1950s --- 15.2 days --- 19.0 days

1960s --- 11.2 days --- 14.9 days

1970s --- 11.9 days --- 16.0 days

1980s --- 12.7 days --- 16.0 days

1990s --- 12.3 days --- 15.1 days

2000s --- 10.2 days --- 13.1 days

 

# of days with a high of 89F

1870s - 11 days (only 1874-79)

1880s - 27 days

1890s - 30 days

1900s - 22 days

1910s - 33 days

1920s - 25 days

1930s - 34 days

1940s - 30 days

1950s - 38 days

1960s - 37 days

1970s - 41 days

1980s - 33 days

1990s - 28 days

2000s - 28 days

2010s - 24 days

 

The 2000s were very lacking in the extreme hot days and the 1930s-50s were just ridiculous on all accounts!

 

Not even being half over, the 2010s are too small of a sample to get an average, but the preliminary #s show that the first 4 years of the 2010s average about 6 days with a high of 89F, while prior decades tend to show a yearly average generally of 3 to 4 such days.
