I didn't think they'd sag far enough south, but it may happen. That first line did crap out just before reaching me. The second line mostly passed south. However, more rain filled in through this morning and many places have received 1+". I am well over an inch now. Once again, there has been little to no thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 .33" here this morning. Lots of clouds in place limiting instability so I'm not optimistic we'll see much today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 1.83" here so far this morning. That's great, but I sure would love some good ol' noisy thunderstorms. I've had about 6 inches of rain this month, but barely any thunder at all. There is zero thunder this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks like increasing potential for the SAL to make it into portions of the region, next weekend into early the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 My storm total is 2.38". I was just hoping to get over an inch, but this morning's disturbance really perked up. My total is even lower than many others in the area. Over 3" fell only a couple miles to my south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The details are a bit different depending on what guidance you look at, but there is pretty good ensemble support for extended heat as we close out June and head into July. Pattern is amped. EPS below. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern is amped. EPS below. I was going to mention this in the medium range thread tonight, but you beat me to it. Looks like we head into a period of -EPO/-PNA, which will help flex a ridge across the Central/Eastern US. How long it lasts and how significant the heat will be is obviously still TBD... But it looks like a good chance we'll add to the 90+ total before entering July. As you mention, there is good ENS. Obviously wouldn't take an OP run at face value this far out...But the 18z GFS from yesterday was on the more extreme side, with 11 consecutive days of 90+ potential starting Friday, with even a day at 100. On the flip side, the 18z GFS today had only 4 consecutive days with around 90+ potential, with daily t'storm potential keeping things in check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Three day total of 3.06" of rain. Was a long two week dry stretch that has been broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I got way more rain than was forecast, surprising. It was a downpour for nearly 5 hours and similar to the sunny weather we had reminded me of August 11 2012. I heard one rumble and that was it, "strong thunderstorms" were forecast and I'm not even getting garden variety. The PMX engine for TWN thinks a 40 dbz echo on CAM = strong thunderstorm .

hawkeye_wx Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It has certainly not been a humid met summer so far. Our dew is in the 50s again today. There have been several days with humid dews in western Iowa and pleasant dews in eastern Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still appreciate the extreme 80 degree events, and of course love the humidity when there's a decent convective setup. Other than that it can stay in the 50s all summer as far as I'm concerned lol. Corn crops around here are looking fantastic. Most fields are waste/stomach high now, with only some areas of retardation where there was standing water back in May/early June. As long as we get regular moisture the rest of the growing season it should be an excellent crop around these parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have almost doubled in height since then. I almost swear I can hear it growing at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Today's setup ended up being a dud for this area, with only 0.20" of rain. Was nice to see the storms erupting overhead though. Definitely a lot better than a withering blob of Iowa crapvection in the late evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Even when the severe is mediocre we still do rain very well. 1.03” on the day and 4.82” on the month. Our new June climate average for 1991-2020 is going to be a crazy high value of around 5.3” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchener poster Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Nothing severe but very happy to pick up about 0.55” of rain last night. Was a little nervous about it slipping to far south. Now we got about a full week of dry weather with relative warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
