hawkeye_wx Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The rain really shut off when the calendar flipped to June. I've received only 1.03", with most of that falling on June 1st. Ottumwa has received only about 0.20" all month. The overnight rain was another bust. The storms out west crapped out long before reaching eastern Iowa. There's just not much support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Very heavy rain fell over the western UP last night, 2-4 inches over in Baraga, S Houghton and Ontonagon Countines while 1.2 inches fell here at home and 1.84 down in Big Bay... my three day total is 2.28". High topped out yesterday @ 86 degrees, cooler less humid air is already beginning to filter in with 71 for a high today followed by upper 60's for the rest of the week along with some heavy rain chances as well. Lake Superior levels should see a sig rise in the next weeks from the heavy rain in the N woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Temps hovered in the low-mid 60's yesterday with the cloud cover. Picked up 2-2.5" of rain around TH yesterday. Scattered showers with temps in the low-mid 70's today. Nice to see the Sun. Cloudy days in summer is a negative considering we see so many of them during the colder months. More rain for the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Partly cloudy with temps in the upper 60s currently. We only picked up 0.35” of rain last night, the storms really blew up overhead and dumped a lot more rain just to the east. After dews in the 70s yesterday having them drop into the low 50s is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily gonna have 3+ inches when it's all said and done here. Central macomb has been the bullseye for heavy rain events lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 An area of decent rain popped in my area overnight into this morning. I picked up a welcome 0.73". Much heavier rain fell just south, where some locations got 2-3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Another cloudy day with temps peaking in the mid 60's around midday (around 60 lakeshore). Rain staying to the S, which is fine. The area up here needs to drain off some before anymore arrives, which looks to be tomorrow, and Sat. Although what does come should stay mainly in the southern areas of NE MN, with more scattered, lighter stuff across much of the N areas. Guess we shall see how that goes.

TheClimateChanger Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Record watch starting again for June. Looks like some locations may see their warmest June on record. At Toledo, the mean maximum for the month stood at 84.1F through yesterday, which would be tenth warmest. With today's 95F factored in, the mean has climbed to 84.6F, placing it in a tie for ninth place. Based on the NWS forecast maximum temperatures, the monthly mean may climb to around 86.2F by the 27th. The current record is 85.9F, set in 1934 & 2005.

For the record, this analysis is based on the mean maximum temperature. I have been told in the past that it is the low temperatures making the summers warmer and that people judge summer months based on maximum temperatures. With the drought causing unusually large diurnal ranges, I thought maximum temperatures would probably be more appropriate for 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 While the thread creator suggesting sticking a fork in the month of June, Dayton International Airport observed its 4th consecutive 90+ reading today [coming off an 89F on Sunday]. The forecast calls for 90+ through Sunday, which, if it were to occur, would be the most 90F readings through June 23rd in any year since 1994. In addition, Dayton continues to impress from a temperature standpoint in 2024. The mean temperature through yesterday stood at 51.6F (and rapidly climbing each day of this heat wave). This is more than 0.5F warmer the second warmest year (2012). Of course, it's worth pointing out that the official observation site was still in the city, which can be as much as 300 feet lower in elevation than the airport, and with a significant urban heat island effect exacerbated by poor siting of the instrument on a building rooftop. Thus, it's likely that 2012 is actually the second warmest, but I digress. Between 1872 & 1996, 15 years at Knoxville saw mean temperatures [through 6-19] equal to or colder than Dayton in the year of our lord 2024. An additional 8 years in that interval were within 0.5F of the Dayton value. Whereas previously Dayton was performing better against Oklahoma City, the very hot summer climate of Oklahoma City is starting to leave Dayton in the dust. However, there were 6 years between 1899 & 1979 that were less than or equal to 51.6F [including one year (1979) that was a whopping 2F colder]. A total of 16 years in that same time interval are no more than 0.5F warmer than 2024 in Dayton. Based on this data, we can conclude that Dayton in 2024 is warmer than 1 out of every 8 years observed in Knoxville during the 19th and 20th century. We can similarly conclude that Dayton is warmer than about 1 in every 13 years in OKC during the first 4/5ths of the 20th century. Although this doesn't tell the full story, since Dayton is relatively warmer in the wintertime and OKC racks up massive numbers in the summertime. As such, it's very unfair to just look straight up since Dayton has a much milder climate overall than OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
