hawkeye_wx Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I received 10.36" in June, but it has dried out quite a bit(0.47" in July). That has been the pattern in recent years.... very wet Junes that did not continue into July or August. The record wet meteorological summer here will likely never even be approached again. In met summer of 1993 Cedar Rapids received an astonishing 39 inches of rain. I was a senior in high school. It was a tough summer in which to take up golf, that's for sure.

About a third of our average yearly rainfall in 4 weeks, pretty impressive. But you also know if CMH is officially recording that much, than there are areas around here that probably have 12+". Would love to know the actual jackpot amount and location for Ohio thru that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE VALID 162355Z - 170555Z SUMMARY...THUNDERSTORMS WITH RAINFALL RATES UP TO 2" AN HOUR ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL IL TO ADJACENT IN. FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE WHERE CELLS TRAIN. DISCUSSION...CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF A SHARP INSTABILITY GRADIENT WITH MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES OF 3-4000 J/KG JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE CLUSTERS OF RAINFALL. UPSTREAM, THE MODELS INDICATE DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH A JET MAX PROGGED BY THE GFS TO BE 50 KT FROM 300 TO 250 MB CROSSING NORTHERN KS, WITH EXIT REGION DIVERGENCE PROVIDING RISING MOTION. STRONG DEEP LAYER FLOW OF 45 KT SHOULD RESULT IN STEADY PROGRESSION OF THE CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL IL THIS EVENING...AND THEN CROSSING INTO ADJACENT IN. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 2-2.2" PER THE LATEST RAP ANALYSIS AND GFS FORECAST PROVIDE AVAILABLE MOISTURE THAT IS 2 TO 2.5 STD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST. THE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT OF DEEP LAYER SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BE OFFSET BY A NORTHERLY COMPONENT OF PROPAGATION...RESULTING IN A EAST MOVEMENT. CELL TRAINING IS THE MAIN FLASH FLOOD THREAT...CAUSED BY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE 850 HPA INFLOW. THE 12Z ARW/NMMB/NSSL WRF AND HIGH RES RAPID REFRESH ALL TARGET THIS REGION. THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE, INCLUDING INFLOW WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S, SUPPORTS HOURLY RAIN RATES UP TO 2". THE HIGH RES QPF GUIDANCE SHOWS MAXIMA OF 2-4" OF RAIN IN THIS REGION. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES OF 2.5 TO 3 INCHES IN 6 HOURS RESULTS IN WIDELY SCATTERED LOCATIONS EXPECTED TO EXCEED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES. PETERSEN ATTN...WFO...DVN...ILX...IND...LOT...LSX...

Gilbertfly Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0360 NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 224 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 AREAS AFFECTED...AREAS AROUND SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE VALID 181823Z - 182223Z SUMMARY...INCREASING INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND INFLOW COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING OVER SATURATED SOILS. DISCUSSION...A WAVE ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SET DOWN BY A DEPARTING SQUALL LINE HAS BEGUN TO INITIATE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHWEST WI, WHICH ARE MOVING ROUGHLY EASTWARD AT 25-30 KTS. MLCAPES OF 2000-4000 J/KG LURK ACROSS NORTHERN IL, WHILE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF ~1.75" INHABIT THE REGION, AND ~30 KTS OF 850 HPA INFLOW INTERCEPTS THE BOUNDARY. AS STORMS ORGANIZE, THEY SHOULD TURN EAST-SOUTHEAST AT 20-25 KTS PER FORWARD PROPAGATING CONVECTIVE VECTORS. CELL TRAINING IS CONSIDERED THE MAIN FLASH FLOOD THREAT. THE MESOSCALE GUIDANCE HAS DONE POORLY IN THIS REGION SINCE YESTERDAY. THE BEST FIT TO THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE, INFLOW, AND INSTABILITY APPEAR TO BE THE 00Z ARW AND 16Z EXPERIMENTAL HRRR, WHICH ADVERTISE LOCAL AMOUNTS IN THE 2-3" RANGE. THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE SUPPORTS HOURLY RAIN RATES UP TO 2", WHICH COULD FALL QUICKLY. SINCE SOILS WERE RECENTLY SATURATED BY THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THIS DEGREE OF RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. ROTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been running multiple pumps all summer and have incredible drainage, the course is in pristine shape and only not allowed carts a few times.
