Had the smoke not been there, the lake breeze would likely have been the focus a little farther NW. Ha. That's neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Was nice to see deep blue skies today, seems like it's been forever. More smoke rolling in from the north now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 My forecast today was afternoon chance of t-storms for 5 hours with some scattered shower potential and instead there is absolutely nothing precip wise anywhere in the Great Lakes or CU formation . That's one of the biggest busts I've seen this summer as typically there would be at least a few pop ups somewhere in the province with %s that high. Other than a cap, did the smoke cause an unforeseen effect? I still have a chance of a t-storm at 10pm only listed for whatever reason. Tomorrow has a repeat forecast so I'm hoping for the same outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I am currently receiving my first rain in over three weeks. It likely won't add up to much, but it's nice to get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 0.38" of rain this morning with storms for the afternoon. Temps around 70 now. Feels really good. Forecast has off and on chances of rain the next few days. Much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 0.19" here this morning. Models had been a bit more bullish about tonight, but no longer. Sunday should bring more widespread, heavier rain to the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected, the chance of t-storms was removed for today and this morning they did the 1 hour slot t-shower risk jig for 4pm which always puzzles me because we all know that's not even a 2% risk; they removed that by 1 . One bad forecast after another. Tomorrow looks similar to the last few days just with higher winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Pm weather missed me, so this weekend will hopefully do better. Avg temps today in the mid-upper 70's. Easterly winds will keep temps down this weekend, but a good soaking rain would be a nice trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Temps in the low-mid 60's with a breezy NE wind. Rain staying south of me tho. Maybe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The sensor at MLI may be crapping the bed. Their temp dropped from 88 to 80 in 7 minutes for no apparent reason. Back in the soup here with dews above 75. Heat index is hovering around 100 from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Well, we wasted a hot stretch during the final week of July. It looks like the upcoming hot stretch is going to be another waste. NWS has already started dropping the 90s from their forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 89'd for 2nd day in a row at MLI as afternoon clouds came in and coc k blocked today's 90 potential. Today was looking like a good chance for storms for days but the setup has skipped over us. Hopefully can get a storm early tomorrow before the better storms fire up to the east (again) later in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every widespread-looking event, every "active pattern" has failed to produce. We have one more chance of rain late tonight as the upper low moves across northeast Iowa. There is also a chance Tuesday, but then it looks like another long dry period will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Last week and now this week has been amazing, I've been feeling better since the heat has ramped up. I've had t-storm chances everyday since Weds and the upcoming days will be the most muggy of the summer with storms . I may have reached 32ºC already, morning air was superb.

cyclone77 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Towering cu in the southern and eastern halves of the sky. Look like they could go at any point, but they will blow up just southeast/east of this area as expected. Hopefully we can get in some thunderstorms tomorrow night. Dews in the upper 70s again, with heat index readings around 100 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
