hardypalmguy Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 23 minutes ago, A-L-E-K said: Friday night through Wednesday: Models are in decent agreement that a shortwave will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to the area Friday night into Saturday. There is some disagreement among solutions though as to how far north the deeper moisture and better instability will be, so kept shower chances on the lower end for now. Still looks like there will be a chance for more rounds of showers and storms at times Sunday into mid-week next week as additional shortwaves move through the area. Not a lot of confidence in higher precip chance for any particular day at this point given model differences with timing and strength of these systems. Temperatures will likely be near to a little above normal during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wasn’t looking as certain earlier if you were watching the radar closely. Could have been a better light show up here but it did rain. Still waiting for a really good show this year.

frostfern Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Tired of all the snow-only weenies from Texas who don’t give a shit about good lightning shows giving me a hard time. Its been a rough summer. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 10 days you have had a lot more than MBY. Chicago has had some good events now in the past week or so but so has several area's in lower MI. I like that it is active as I know for MBY will get missed at times and hammered during others. Normally the hammering happens which I am out of town . This time it didn't for change as I was out of town the past 5 days. Hopefully one of these events soon set's up just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real nice summer stretch on tap. A little chilly in the a.m., but all's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a dew point of 73 over the water That would be both of us mentioning that. Cooler by the lake is the norm into July around here, but a bit more dramatic than what your showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was very beneficial rain and good coverage as well. Just not the light show I wanted. Not video or photoshoot worthy anyways. There’s been a lot of popup tropical downpours lately with occasional rumbles. Very beneficial local rainfall but not really “events”. Still waiting for a squall line thats worth driving to the lake to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding we didn't get much IMBY (I wasn't here) the past 5 days as the heavier rains went around. My rain gauge sadly agrees. Glad I missed a miss.

If a kickass nocturnal squall line comes roaring across Lake Michigan it comes from your direction 90% of the time. We are in the same line.

The main MCV was headed more northeast rather than southeast, and what came through here was already on its last legs in terms of having instability to work with.

sbnwx85 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Last night's storms really packed a punch from some just northwest of South Bend. I was outside as the storm came in and observed gusts 40-45 mph in my neighborhood. But some downbursts/microbursts around the airport caused a lot of tree damage in those surrounding neighborhoods. I just noticed this 79 mph report from last night: 0137 79 3 WNW South Bend St. Joseph IN 4170 8632 ASOS station KSBN South Bend International Ap.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 After our inch of rain two weeks ago the lawn greened up somewhat. The green has vanished following two weeks without any real rain. The sprinkler goes back out Friday just to prevent a couple areas from getting worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scattered frost in lower lying locations during summer is not uncommon. Radiational cooling with CA highs is a common feature of our summers. 45N is a different world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 0.22" of rain this evening. Up to 1.43" for July now. Luckily the drought was a 6 week affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get why they insist on calling it 'normal'. It is an average (as you said). If each day did exact what that chart showed it would be the most abnormal weather ever for the Midwest/Great Lakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The drought has been murdered in my backyard. I've gotten 5.5" of rain since the derecho on the 29th, including an unexpected 2.5" last night. Unfortunately most of my bareroot tree and shrub plantings were killed in the drought but at least it relieves me from watering the trees that survived for the time being.
