WestMichigan Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 11 hours ago, Chicago Storm said: Time to put this to bed... ...GRR... July (So far): +0.21" June: -2.52" May: +0.07" April: +1.20" March: +1.11" The stats don't tell the whole picture. There were a couple occasions where GRR itself was right in line for a band of thunderstorms while areas very nearby had little or no rain. Also it doesn't indicate the timing of the rains either. There have been long periods with little or no precip followed by decent rains and then another long break. May barely finished above normal and June was very dry. July will be going below normal most likely starting Sunday. I think it really goes back to the spotty nature of rain in West Michigan recently. I went 30 minutes north of my house yesterday and the grass was green while still fairly crispy brown in my back yard. This is what @frostfern is complaining about on a regular basis.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 A nice area of rain dropped south through east-central Iowa this morning. Much of the heavy rain went around me, but I still picked up a decent 0.83". Much of the city got 1+" and a band of 2-3" fell on the north and east sides. For the week I've received 1.43". That's a disappointing total given the pattern and other totals across eastern Iowa, but not everyone can be the big winner. There is a town ten miles southeast of Cedar Rapids that got another 3" this morning, putting them at 10" over the last two weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Picked up 0.20". Absolutely dumped at work. You could def tell the PWs were way up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Only reached 75, completely overcast, 0.23" of rain. The dry periods today just seem to be boring and a waste for early July. A suckfest today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 I gotta wonder what kind of temperature departures we are going to see in the nation's midsection this month. It has a chance to be very impressive by summer temp departure standards. Widespread +3 to +7 through the first 8 days of the month with potentially bigger heat to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Predictably, the GFS has backed down on the strength/size of the ridge in the long range, as well as its eastern extent. But still looking plenty hot for the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has been persistent -NAO blocking (which may even strengthen towards the end of the month) will probably ensure that it remains transient the further north and east one gets. Either way, as Alek implied in the Texas thread, we're boned out here unless the Tropics miraculously come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I woke up at 6am with a line of severe storms on the doorstep, but the line collapsed as it moved into Cedar Rapids. I got some light thunder and 0.23" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
