hawkeye_wx Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'd say our brief drought is pretty much over. My August rain total is 4.26" after two good soakers this week. The lawns have greened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Its the 10 year anniversary of Ontario's largest tornado outbreak including 4 F2 tornadoes. I remember staying up all night scouring YouTube for all kinds of tornado videos of the day. There are some decent cells around my part this evening - not common. Just some lightning so far. The "storms" on Sunday were beyond pathetic here but strong in the Lucan/Mitchell areas. I got a severe warning moments after the heaviest of the rain showers past me with a few flashes of lightning. I LOVE Environment Canada as they crack me up with those warnings after the "rain showers" are done with!! EDIT: Best thunderstorm of the year here just a short while ago. Nice lightning, large raindrops to start with that storm. The most significant CG strike while I was outside ever also occurred. I've never had a good look at a strike like that without a window being in front of me. This was WF driven, colour me shocked . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Had a very heavy downpour at work with some crashes of thunder around noon. Picked up 0.14" here at home. Guessing at least a half inch fell at work. I need to buy a cheap rain gauge for work sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, I recently learned that Toledo is not *just* above normal precip on the year-- Toledo's precip from January 1st to August 22nd is nearly at the top of the list, historically.

Spartman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Storm system that is supposed to come Monday through Tuesday looks rather fall-like (mainly on Monday). GFS over the past few runs has highs only in the low to mid 60s while the Euro has highs only reaching up to the low 70s during the day on Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Going to end up being a fairly unremarkable summer as far as temp anomalies. Generally speaking, July was the warmest month relative to average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
