frostfern Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Overlying month-to-date precip on the drought map as of June 17, the biggest screw zones are north central Iowa, most of Minnesota, NW part of Lower Michigan as well as the Thumb area. At least the holes in Illinois and Indiana had rain earlier in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 There's at least the potential to really make some big progress on this in some areas in the coming days, instead of the more modest chipping away. But I go back go my slave to convection phrase. You have to see it play out in the right spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The nearly 1" of rain the other night seems to have done absolutely nothing for the grass... areas that were brown are as brown as before. This surprised me because I expected to see at least some greening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 We should play a game. What will the yearly precip deficit be (or if anyone is bold enough, what will the surplus be) at ORD at the end of Tuesday, June 29?

This surprised me because I expected to see at least some greening. Expand It takes a few days. You probably see greening first happening in low areas where the water could pond. Sloping areas where the water ran off quickly are likely to stay brown. Same for places with little shade near hot pavement. Those are always the last to come back. That's the problem with downpours on top of dry soil. A bunch of the water runs off high areas before it has a chance to get deep into the soil. Gentle rains over several hours irrigate much more evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though the current deficit is 7.17", you'd actually need slightly over 8" in the next week to overcome it entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June is running a nice precip surplus now, and almost half of this year's precip at ORD has fallen in June. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
