SolidIcewx Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Going to be a steamer today here. Like a dog the next morning after he eats a weeks worth of wet food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 About a 1/2" of soaking rain that started around 3 am. Cool, cloudy, NE winds. Fallish this morning. Highs around the mid 60's today, with low 70's for the weekend. Another round of heavier rains possible on Sun-Mon. Much needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 MSP under the gun with some decent cells, and heavy rain. Decent hail sigs in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Pretty impressive-looking hail cores just NW of Minneapolis on radar, although they now appear to be weakening somewhat as they push into the metro area. EDIT: Scratch the weakening part. R.I.P. to people's cars in MSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Nice deep blue sky this afternoon mixed in with the fair-weather cu. Nice to see after so much grungy haze/smoke much of the summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhou Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sky is getting very dark here. I'm guessing that @OrdIowPitMsp got some hail to the Northeast of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We got some hail at my house but just pea size garden variety. Maybe a mile or so to my north got slammed though. Lots of heavy rain. Had to be close to or over an inch in about 20 minutes. Airport reported snow pellets. I think that’s wrong lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Wow lots of 1-2” hail reports coming in 15-20 blocks north of me. Holy hell did I get lucky imby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNstorms Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 After no severe weather warnings all year I actually got 2 today along with brief hail and wind. I thought I was going the whole summer without a good storm for the first time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiño Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Weird to see how quiet this forum is during this event. I know it’s not a big one and is missing Chicago but the light show here in SE Wisconsin over the lake is pretty legit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogget Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 The light show was amazing—nearly continuous flashes. But not, I think, enough rain to save the corn and soybean in southern WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLMKA Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Didn’t get a chance to post this yesterday morning but this was an impressive shelf cloud with 50-70mph wind and 1.5” rain in about half an hour west of Peoria. I’m near Farmington. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn and soy should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I felt a month ago in Lima Ohio. Hell of a storm with a huge core dumping tennis balls a half to 3/4 of a mile to my south. I was ready to hop in my work truck and roll tuck and boogie out of there to prevent damage. Lots of crops sustained heavy damage in the area and vehicle damage also from what locals were telling me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 0.67" yesterday brings Aug total up to 0.77" so far. Tomorrow's rain chance is looking less likely for me now. Looks like Duluth southward should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 GFS and NAM seem to be wanting to spin up a Fall-like system for Monday into Tuesday. On at least one of the days, some could be stuck in the 60s while some could be stuck in the 50s. GFS: NAM: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Definite an early fall feel in the air today. We’ll spend most of the day in the upper 60s with rain moving in this afternoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found 55-70 degrees to be the sweet spot for my job. Quality soak incoming tonight. Should pickup another 0.75” maybe more. Worst of the drought is behind us now.
