ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The smoke is collecting behind the cold front. Sounds like the drier air mass is acting to pull it down. That's probably one of the most interesting SWSs I've seen I see 2 possible 90 degree days in my 10 day forecast... it's frustrating that we could hit 90 so easily in June, but so hard to come by in July. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Getting drilled out here in DKB. Have some flash flooding on a few of the country roads near my house. Seen more monsoon rain this year than I ever have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just surpassed the 4" mark here. Holy smokes, dude! I had no idea you were getting this much rain. Over here this system was the repeat of the last several systems.... rather than a dry day followed by heavy convection blowing up later in the afternoon, the morning convection spoiled it. I got the light to moderate remnants of the central Iowa complex, finishing with only 0.36". Then, the later convection was all south and east.

Just when the grass was starting to slow down in it's ridiculous growth rate lol. That's a better/bigger total than most of your snow events from the past couple of winters. Ha, yep. Up to 4.19". A few showers to go, but we're winding her down finally from the looks of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Another very heavy downpour, and also quite windy. Wow, what an impressive event. Think we're seeing the development of an MCV just north of here. Could have some impact on severe potential downstream for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR really isn't that impressive tomorrow... only 1000-1500 SBCAPE with a messy cluster of showers/storms. I don't see a slight risk coming for me. Will probably get a good amount of rain though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just getting missed by a couple miles to the south by an area of heavy rain. Wind really picked up though. More haze and smoke reports appearing in the ARX cwa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Over 4.5" now... The June-July totals could be massive in some areas, especially if we get one of those prolonged slow moving/stalled frontal regimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That's a better/bigger total than most of your snow events from the past couple of winters. Things dying as the head your way.

cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The June-July totals could be massive in some areas, especially if we get one of those prolonged slow moving/stalled frontal regimes. Yeah there's a good chance the same areas will get impacted again as the new ring of fire sets back up. With such wet soils in place over a large area it's going to be hard to get a good heat dome this far north and east, which means many of the same areas will end up in the battle ground area where all the heavy rains occur. These ankle biting showers that are lingering overhead continue to dump bursts of decent rainfall. Over 4.6" now, and could give 5" a run if we get another good downpour.

michsnowfreak Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 First night that has really felt July-like in these parts. Warm, hazy, humid and still.It will be interesting to see what the low is (it will likely be set after 11pm) to see if we can squeeze out a warmer thanks normal day. Even yesterday was 1 degree below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 it takes skill to get this kind of fog with this kind of wind but we're doing it cold, fog, rain, wind...hoh rainforest climo in full effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The 83 on Sunday is a distant memory.... back in the 40's now and not out of the 50's today. 30's again tonight w/ patchy frost. The mid-point of summer is here too... time to build some warmth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Looks like we may crack 90 here this weekend, and some ring of fire action in the vicinity. Smoke cleared out overnight (but should return this afternoon). Bright blue skies and 52F this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauge had 0.46" of rain, and probably will tack on a smidge more with the -RA currently. We can take these kind of rainfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ok drama Bo you better start chopping your firewood for the winter. It'll be here before you know it. Yep... found wood from someone that I only have to haul, split, and stack it. Been to busy with projects to get any on my own this year. summer is flying by!

RCNYILWX Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 models showing upper 80s this weekend...wouldn't be shocked if we end up barely cracking 80 again Looks like a ring of fire type setup and a candidate for convection keeping front farther south than shown on guidance.
