Jebman Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 We are getting windy rain under dark skies for the 3rd day running lol. I am starting to wonder if we have a developing Nino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The heart of that beautiful t-storm just to my NE mostly missed, but I did manage to squeeze 0.5" from it which is the best rain in a while here. We had gotten only a tenth here and there adding up to just 0.9 total back to June 19. Haven't had to cut the grass for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The CoCoRahs map is going to be a mess tomorrow. 0.10" Always interesting to see the fringe locations, as well as those that cash in. Some places get doused while others only a few miles away get little of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 CWG is having a gathering for into the storm, lol. Want to go outside! I had to run the block or whatever from the Gallery Place metro station to the theater during the peak of the storm downtown, mostly soaked in 30 seconds.

BlizzardNole Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 WOW -- just 20 minutes ago we are having a drink in the sun on the deck and feel a couple drops. I thought...bird? Then I notice a tiny, but dark cloud right over us. Then it starts to actually rain so I look at Radarscope and there's a developing shower so small it fills just one pixel on the expanded radar shot. That thing has blown up right over us and it has been pouring harder for 10-15 minutes than it has in any of the storms for the last week. We might approach an inch out of this. And you can look in all directions and see open sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Now collapsing, and it never moved anywhere. Just looked in the gauge and have 0.9 from a shower that was maybe 3-4 miles across. Man talk about some luck; we really needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can look in all directions and see open sky. That's what I like about a pattern like this in the middle of summer. The anything could happen stuff makes the weather interesting. I had a crazy thunderstorm Thursday night around 9pm after it looked like everything was said and done for the day. It had vivid CG lightning, cool looking updraft, odd movement from the north, loud booming thunder and heavy rain. Briefly gusty winds too. I got a quick .40" from it but the storm development, eeriness of the lowering base, and advancement on me with the vivid lightning display was the best part.

wxmeddler Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Despite the models poo-pooing today for storms because of a mid-level cap, it seems from water vapor that that cap has decreased via wetbulbing from storms overnight upstream in the OV. We could have shower/sub-severe storm initiation any time now if a convergence boundary set's up somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 woo July. storms don't seem to be able to sustain outside of elevation so far. Those updrafts who break 20kft should be able to maintain. The multicell cluster coming over the front range near Fredrick should maintain and grow. Even though shear below 300mb is fairly uniform, there is a 50kt northerly wind at 300mb that should provide good storm top divergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Interesting that the coolest daytime highs for the upcoming week may not happen with the frontal passage on Wed/Thurs but the easterly flow murk Sat-Mon. At least, that is what the GFS is showing. Anything to kill off another week in the hottest part of the year is a +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Euro ens run last night is pretty wet for the 15 days on the means. Looks like 3"+ for all. Not worth reading into that much though. I checked h5 and it looks like a boundary could possibly set up somewhere in the southern plains/lower tn valley. Who knows really. Looks plenty wet for the SE if things shake out like that. Mid and upper level flow is mainly sw-wsw after the cool spell. MN, you're right about the potential for the coolest days to happen once the hp drifts ne and turns our surface flow e-ne. Looking forward to it. Both euro ens and gefs have been trending towards ANOTHER cool shot to close the month. Anomalous trough digs in the east again as the ridge in the desert sw pumps up. Possible best July in many years? Me thinks so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
