Discuss non-severe heavy rain / training convection ITT Don't forget about Southern Wisconsin. We've seen upwards of 4" of rain in the last three days, and the extended, especially next Monday and Tuesday, looks wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This whole area needs no rain for a long time. Wet dog pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 FWIW, the CFS was all over the wet June and has a drier look for July up to now. We'll see what it looks like toward the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The Omaha area got rocked again overnight. I had to run out to set up my gauge at 3:30am when a little isolated cell popped up, although we only got a few hundredths out of it. I'm not sure how much rain we'll get the rest of the weekend and Monday. Some of the models have backed off of the organized low moving up over us Monday.

janetjanet998 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 6.34 inches at PIA so far in June. Almost in the to 10 already Top 10 is clusted together with the max around 9 I think The storms ongoing now have split the airport so not going to add much today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 5.88" month to date here so far. 7" seems quite possible by next Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Got 1.20" at my house yesterday. The Cedar Rapids airport got 2.17", whooping me for the third straight rain event. My June total is 7.07" while the airport is up to 8.93". The airport is 6 miles south of me. The Cedar River is forecast to crest at low end major flood in a couple days, although there are few problems until it gets a foot or two higher.

hawkeye_wx Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 classic hawkeye post^ Not sure what the point of this post is. I thought it was worth mentioning how well the airport has been doing with storms recently and the unusually large disparity between my rain totals and the (only 6 miles away) official Cedar Rapids totals. I haven't exactly been missed by the storms. Next month I may outdo the airport. My current June rain total of 7.07" is pretty impressive, but still a little shy of last year's June total. I just hope regular rain continues throughout summer and doesn't shut off like it did late last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The rain is just about to start here, and there does look to be plenty of it to the southwest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The river here is cresting at 5.5 ft above flood stage later today. It does not look like there will be any widespread heavy rain until the weekend into early next week, so the area rivers should fall back to relatively normal levels by then. There could be heavy rain complexes again Saturday night through Monday, which would just beat the month change and add to the already high June totals.

Chicago Storm Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Reminds me of 2009 below average temps with rain. 4th of July that year was 70s and rain. Only one problem with that... June 2009 had a -0.6 temp departure. June 2014 is sitting at +2.0 as of yesterday...and is a lock to end up higher by the end of the month. But yea, it's been wet.

This month reminds me more like June 2010 both in terms of activity and rainfall. DTW that month was +2.4 with 5.42" and this month +0.6 with 4.00" of rain but it looks to warm through the rest of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Funny, this month and this summer seems to be going more in the vein of 2008. It's not as warm as 2010, and 2009 was dry for much of the Great Lakes, so I think 2008 is a better comparison thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So far, FNT has 2.24" for the month. However, FNT has had a lot of near-misses on heavy rain that did hit other surrounding areas. I'm not complaining... Last month our sump pump failed while we were out of town and we came home to 18" of water in the lower level. I now have 2 separate 3/4 HP pumps, one set higher in case water overwhelms the main pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised if there are a few strong/severe storms that move along the stalled front/marine boundary. Decent cape on the warm side and that shortwave is providing some shear, especially in N IL agree, we should see some decent reports in the Dekalb to Joliet corridor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day I leave home and go south east to work it is 10-15 degrees cooler. I guess it just feels cool with all the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
