hawkeye_wx Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The Euro has a deep upper trough pulling 20s/30s dewpoint down into Iowa next week. While that would feel great, it also means no rain until at least late June. Models show our only rain chance is a few spotty cells Tuesday afternoon.

Hoosier Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Chicago received no measurable precipitation between June 1-7 (yeah, technically it's still the 7th for a little while, but it ain't gonna rain). It is only the 9th time that Chicago has not received at least 0.01" in the first 7 days of June, which makes it close to a 1 in 17 year occurrence on average over the period of record, though it has started happening more often in the past several decades. The other 8 years without measurable precip in the first week of June are 1873, 1922, 1929, 1976, 1988, 1994, 2006, 2017. Sometimes there is some luck involved -- for example, the unofficial site of Midway Airport had 0.01" between June 1-7. So if we broaden it out to less than 0.10" in the first 7 days of June, that has happened 26 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local met said this is the first year since 1976 in which Cedar Rapids recorded no rainfall during the first week of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at the data up there. We’ll see how the rest of June plays out but there’s at least solid potential for a truly alarming record to be set at MSP re: mean temperature for the month of June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Just now, WestMichigan said: 0.11" total here. I heard parts of Allegan County got over 2". An extremely localized cloud burst did most of it here. There is one swath from Allegan up through downtown and a few cloudburst spots south and east. One popped up near east grand rapids and dumped for 5 minutes or so adding a half inch almost instantly. The more general light rain band was only 0.1 to 0.2.

Waiting for something to pop up. Whatever showers form will probably rain themselves out in the same location they formed. Virtually zero wind field today. Good setup for more 2.5" bullseyes with 0.05" 5 miles away... just like yesterday. There's enough instability for lightning if something can get going enough. Didn't hear anything yesterday as it was all pretty shallow showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two entries on this list I would imagine are significantly less prone to UHI than the others, and they completely rewrote the record books by a huge margin.

Picked 0.59" yesterday evening in less than an hour, anther 0.32" early this morning, had some more rain this afternoon, but haven't checked the gauge, and another line along I 70 that might get to us before dark. But no lightning. As Joel said the other day, the sub has the haves and have-nots. I am a have and my garden appreciates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those are particularly large airports, with the exception of MSP. As UHI effects go, I don’t know much about La Crosse or Duluth, but I know UW-Madison is basically downtown while the airport is way out on the east side, so it’s interesting that the airport would run so much warmer, especially being the small regional airport that it is. With that being said, it does appear that records at La Crosse airport date back to 1938, so I would say it’s valid to compare any data from then to now. But I’m wondering if it’s maybe more of a geographical thing than a UHI thing, at least in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UW would still most definitely have the cooling influence of Mendota and to a lesser degree Monona this early in the season. ARX is also on the higher terrain above the Mississippi, which is why LSE in the valley is warmer. Can’t really explain Duluth since it’s practically on airport property. NWS is surrounded by trees though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
