July 2024 General Discussion


Recommended Posts

What a hot day. Temps peaked in the upper 80's to around 90 with dews in the low-mid 70's here in town. Mid 80's inland with lower dews. A light S wind off the lake kept humidity up here in town. Stifling! ISH! 

Heritage days here in TH. We have it every year starting on the second Thurs of July. Started yesterday, but the activities really get going on the Friday (being today). Street dance tonight with live bands. Helicopter rides during the day. Just a boat load of stuff going on. It will wrap up on Sun.

Spent the past week hiking and camping in some of the most remote parts of the Huron's... absolute isolation.  A reboot for the heart, mind and soul. Sometimes I feel like I could disappear into the woods forever and be just fine.

A warm one today with highs in the mid to upper 80's along with some storm chances overnight as the midway point in met summer is here.  In a few weeks tell-tale signs of an aging season will begin to creep in... subtle changes in the leaves, cool foggy mornings, longer afternoon shadows.  One of the best times of the year as far as I'm concerned.  Nothing better in life than the gift of contentment.

Another cloudburst just put the airport on a brief ground stop. Quarter mile visibility and frequent CtG lightning. 
 

The razor thin line of showers/storms along I-94 backs up west of St. Cloud.  
 

74 at 2pm. Going to be tough to break 90 today. @Chicago Stormgotta hand it to you for sensing temps would likely underperform today. You should do some consulting work for our WFO.

Mid 80's with low 70 dews. Parade just finished a few minutes ago, and just in time as a shwr/stm complex is starting to move in. Upper clouds have been hazing the Sun a bit today. Interesting note, in my many years here in TH, it has never rained on the parade. Before, and after, yes, but not ON the parade. In fact, an older citizen of the town also noted that it had never rained on the parade. Lots of decades being counted here. :)

Models that showed the complex of storms blasting down this way were incorrect.  Just some 'heat lightning' in the northeastern skies for this area tonight.  

Next shot at anything comes Mon evening.

Idk might get something

When I started mowing it was 79/72/no HI. I just finished and it is 88/73/96. A tad warm but I beat the rain/sprinkles/clouds rolling through. Now to go get some lunch and a nap in the A/C is called for.

Round 2 dropped 0.52” of rain. 1.77” on the day. Doubt we beat Beryl but a good soaking again nevertheless.

Caught 0.69 this morning and another 0.54 this afternoon for 1.23" total.  We didn't get the big totals from Beryl down this way, but have 3.21" in the past six days, with several more rounds possible in the next couple of days.
