Stevo6899 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 As always different strokes, but I don't see the excitement watching cars drive in circles for hours. I could watch tornadoes go in circles for hours tho. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still, strongly dislike the tourists! Looks like Northshore traffic every summer. Pop growth at least doubles around here in summer. Sirens going off nearly everyday from police/ambulance. It really does get annoying. I really would feel uncomfortable being stuck going really slow on that bridge, tho. The "what if" willy runs up the spine just thinking about it. MSP collapse coming to mind. When I was younger, some of my friends called tourist season "terrorist" season from the sheer bulk of people coming in, and their big city driving habits. Hence the regular sirens. But business here makes most of their money now, so it's a double edged sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Been a long time since I have seen a major bust in the right direction like Chi Town got today. The past 2 days everything has found a way to miss. I should sell myself a a weather curse to towns that don't want bad weather . I could be an instant millionaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best they may get a few hours of driving in. All the fanfare, etc have pretty much been canceled with this mesolow sitting and dumping on the city.

The GFS is also mixing to about 650-700mb to get that absurd surface output. It advertised that last year too, at time frames a lot sooner than 300hrs+, and it didn't remotely pan out then either. Whenever GFS 2m temps are spitting out 110+ in the midwest or GL, it's because it's got some broken mixing scheme going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 There is good model agreement that the midweek frontal passage will be timed very poorly for eastern Iowa. There is a good chance much of my area will get little or no rain from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Its a great day with 28C temps, partly cloudy for most of the day. A cell formed just to my south. I was put under a heat warning for the next few days - first of the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 94 at MLI today, 90 here. After mid 90s tomorrow and Wed gonna get a nice long break from the heat from Thu onward. Not gonna be quite as frosty as it has been at ALEK's though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Looks like MSP getting some needed rain this a.m. (although not much), and possible svr wx on tap this aftrn/eve. Might be a wash for fireworks tonight here in parts of MN n WI. A quick 0.05" fell yesterday aftrn with a line of stms. A quick check on TH co-op temps, and they hit 85 last Fri (a.m. stn, so recorded for Sat). That's pretty hot for the shoreline, but the wind was offshore just enough for them to reach that temp. That was a hot day along the North Shore. Top 10 temp for either day. Low 90's is record territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 0.57” of much needed rain this morning. Hopefully more with a good Fourth of July light show this evening. Got caught in a pretty intense downpour near Osseo WI on Interstate 94 a bit ago. Tons of cars pulled over with flashers on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I keep getting localized afternoon downpours on the US-131 lake breeze. Picked up another unexpected 0.5” in about 15 minutes. Florida type downpour. New green grass is popping up, but mosquitos are out again too, unfortunately. Will be annoying for fireworks watching. The immediate lake shore has been missing out on rains though. Still need an MCS that shares the wealth more widely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Today was amazing, one of the best of 2023. Very sunny with just a few small clouds, 30C, no smoke with humidity. I was full of energy and at my peak mentally. Shit I wish every day of the year was like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this side of the lake Holland to Muskegon is also still super dry, like bone dry dry. A lot of the shoreline north of Ludington is pretty dry as well . Most of the rain lately has been at least 20 miles inland, but there are also big dry holes in and around the Lansing area. Classic lake breeze pattern. Solid relief is all from I-94 south.
