Must say I am always a bit nervous when DTX puts some of the heaviest totals IMBY. Hoping this evening/tonight will be the biggest event since the March snowstorm for MBY.

I really hope all the heavy stuff moving in from the west doesn't suddenly crash south into the juicier air, leaving me with just a few hours of light rain. That's what I'm afraid of. did u screw hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here I hope the training don’t setup around DTW we have had our fair share of BS. Even Canton flooded back in 2021. Working in Detroit recently from the rains we had a week ago some side streets were flooded just from that alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 This 12-hour precipitation estimation shows the impact of the overnight MCS, starting in South Dakota and now in Iowa. There were severe wind reports in northeast Nebraska and around Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The big MCS right now appears to have been from two merged MCSs that were kind of separate at 12:50z. Otherwise, there were numerous areas of rain in IL, IN, and OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 1 hour ago, A-L-E-K said: did u screw hole? Yeah, pretty much. My fear about the heavy cells on the southern edge of the MCS dropping too far south panned out. The northern end of two bands of heavy rain barely got me, but they only last a few minutes each. I ended with 0.66". The northern part of my county got only half of that. Well to the north, over northeast Iowa, the MCS's comma head dumped more heavy rain. Now I get to wait another two weeks for the next chance of five minutes of heavy rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malacka11 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Distant rumbles of thunder here. Heavier returns are blossoming rapidly a county or so upstream so it could end up being a decent soaking here for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had 1 90 so far this summer, a 90 on 6/25. Granted, we have gotten 89'ed 5 (!) times, but still, even despite being ~300 feet higher, less urbanized and at a slightly higher latitude, I wouldn't expect that contrast between two sites separated by a <2 hour drive.

Yeah there's definitely a steep gradient from northeast IL to the QC. We're only about 25 miles northeast of MLI and have 16 90+ days. Nice soaker today between the two main rounds. Ended up with 1.77", up to 3.21" for July. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would chase if it wasn’t so late. Drought is past over up here but really no light show at all. Just plain hard rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hard to get excited when the past few hours were all modeled to be very active and all I have is 0.02" so far. I would take hours of plain heavy rain as opposed to a 5 minute storm with <1/4".

frostfern Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I no longer have the energy to chase at night after dark. If I had someone else cover some of the driving it might be doable. Just too exhaused these days. I really just want a nice big loud cracking and thumping storm IMBY, not wind and tornadoes. There’s an occasional flash and rumble, but nothing frequent. Same as previous July storms IMBY this year. Mostly just heavy rainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it will hold together or even build more south. It’s only 9:30 PM. These things typically die off in the early morning hours, and it will teach you before then.

I can see lightning flash from them. Oh well time for bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Something I haven't seen in forever: heavy rain potential shown overnight. Love the timing, starts right at sunset and heaviest in the middle of the night. 40-50 mm which is nearly double June's rainfall IMBY!! I'm expecting around 12mm.
