Yup, decaying showers brought the LLJ to the surface. Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie reported a 62mph gust. Numerous reports of power out in the western suburbs. But hey we recorded a T of rainfall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 High of 79 today before rain developed and spread across the area couple hours ago. So far .83 and counting. Plenty of rain chances the next couple days with cooler, more seasonable like temps. Can't believe it's almost July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 For a while it looked like I might get goose-egged. At the last minute, the gap in the line of storms moving across eastern Iowa filled in and soaked the Cedar Rapids area. There were a couple scattered warnings in the area, but I only received beautiful, straight-down rain. Most personal gauges across the metro area are reporting over an inch. I got 0.96". It is no coincidence our dewpoint shot up to 70º late this evening. It feels and smells good to finally have humid, wet air in June. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 0.65" here. The way radar was looking I figured we were a shoe-in for an inch, but the heaviest downpours veered south. Could have been worse I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Finally merciful rain. It’s not much. Less then half a weeks worth, but it’s something. 2nd driest June still in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Got nearly an inch overnight. Not going to do much for drought improvement, but should keep us from getting worse on the monitor this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Less than .1” last night. Another hot and sunny day on tap. Extreme drought conditions should be monitored on the next update here in Champaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 On 6/23/2023 at 4:55 PM, TheClimateChanger said: Looking at this animation of aerosol optical depth, it looks like some of this might end up getting caught in the circulation of the low pressure system moving through and ultimately advect southwestward over Wisconsin and Ilinois by Tuesday. Obviously a long way out, but perhaps something to watch out for next week. Also, it's not clear how dense the concentrations of smoke will be as a lot of it will get pushed eastward out to sea before the low starts to take shape. https://twitter.com/m_parrington/status/1672232383842492419?s=20 Tuesday still looking like there may be poor air quality for much of the Midwest.

cyclone77 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Nice deep blue sky out there today which is great to see after all that smoke. Last night's 0.66" brought us to 0.84" for June. Rain chances going forward are pretty meager, so doubt we'll break the 1" mark for June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 0.57" of rain in town, with 0.6" at the TH arpt yesterday. ~1.5" of rain around here is much welcome. Now just cool, cloudy with shower chances the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 0.72" of much needed rain here this morning. Also, with a little instability, we got to enjoy some thunder, music to my ears. Now waiting on the big show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Weirdest constant low rumbling thunder with the line that just came through. Too bad it’s not at night. Would be a spectacular amount of intracloud flashing. I just hope there is more rain to come under the upper low. It came down hard for a few minutes but it moved out so fast. I doubt much more than a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The wind has really been whipping today. I had to put some potted flowers in the garage so they wouldn't break. We haven't had a windy day like this in several weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Noticed the little mini sup passing to the northeast had some decent rotation so shot out east after it. Saw a nice funnel cloud near Tampico which lasted a good 3-4 mins. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 0.5” here. Very dark ominous shelf + constant rumblings and wind, but the really hard rain lasted only 10 minutes here. Better than nothing, but not a drought buster yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
