CanadianGuy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Pea sized hail and heavy rain from a pop up driving home. Sunny and dry at home, at least for now, sitting at 72 degrees with an 8mph breeze from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some potted flowers that don't tolerate the 40's very well and seem stunted a little compared to when I grew them down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I wonder what the average high lakeside actually is at this time of year. ORD is 83 but along the lake? I know at UGN at least (just under 4 miles) the average is now at 80°. I would imagine the average high never gets above 80° at the lake front (except maybe at the Indiana shoreline where the cooling influence would be moderate the quickest as you moved out of spring. If Meigs field was still there you could look at their averages. --- It hasn't hit 80° here in 8 days now! 7 day forecast is solidly below normal. High of 70° today with 0.07" of rain last night.

I actually found the average high for Meigs Field, presumably based on the 1971-2000 period. Looks like the average high for June 29 is 78.

O, you actually found that data! Cool With Lake Michigan running as cool as it has been this year, I'm sure the departure is substantial. Running under last year actually right now.

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Followed a severe warned cell for awhile earlier this evening up in northern and central Whiteside County. Storm developed a nice little wall cloud that had some decent rotation. For a bit I thought it may actually try to do something. Rotating wall cloud south of Morrison. Looking southeast north of Prophetstown as the storm departs. Needed an even wider angle lens here to capture the whole scene. The top of the storm looked pretty cool as it boiled upward, with the updraft/rain free base below. Looking southwest towards some distant convection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 A potent little cell last hour dropped down into the west side of Cedar Rapids and gave me the best storm of the season. As it approached there was quite a bit of streaky lightning with real nice thunder, easily the best lightning of the season. When the tiny core moved right over my house the wind gusted to 40+ mph and pea size hail beat against the windows. I picked up 0.78" of rain in 15 minutes, which pushed my June rain total to 10.36". It was a pretty cool storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Awesome summer pics, cyclone! Got cooler than forecasted here last night. Currently 44 degrees with gusty winds. wind chill has been in the 30's. rain has ended imby for the most part... .73" total of a slow steady rain. shouldn't warm too much today with a long cold north fetch off Superior. Weekend mid-70's!! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Took video of the lightning storm last night. Even captured a cloud to ground lightning bolt. Bolt happens at the 0:51 marker on the upper left hand corner of the video. PS: the lightning was really bad prior to me taking the video that I had to shut down and unplug my computer.

nwohweather Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Heavy rain about to move through Findlay here in a bit. Thank god it missed to the south and east, the Maumee, Tiffin and Portage Rivers are already at a dangerous stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I got a training cell with a downpour for 20-25 minutes yesterday. Now its a cloudy end to a terrible June, and here I was thinking maybe this would be a good one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Based on some damage to plants in the gardens in the nearby open field, I'm thinking my wind last night reached 50 mph. My beets are a bit of a mess with plenty of broken leaves and one of my pepper plants was standing at 45 degrees. My neighbor had his entire row of peppers blown over. My cannas look like they went through a battle. Oddly, while the storm was moving southward, the plant damage was due to a strong west wind.

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Looks like we'll finish with 8.90" this month. Very impressive, but we had almost 8" on the 15th. Really thought we had double digits in the bag. Not that we needed it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 yes, nice and cozy tonight, Geos. IMG_2211.JPG Nice wood burner there. Fantastic evening with temps in the 70s and low humidity. Only negative are the mosquitoes, which have become quite terrible lately. Almost making me look forward to the first hard freeze lol. Took a few test shots outside of town with the new ultra-wide lens shortly before sunset. Can't wait to use it on storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
