Brian D Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Showers with a little thunder have blossomed over the W tip of the Lake, and am currently getting a nice rain. Have been keeping the windows shut during the day, and open at night, but the rain cooled air feels very nice. South Shore in Douglas county WI is currently under a flash flood warning. Complex is just sitting here, and expanding this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Only ended up with 0.19" of rain yesterday. It ended up moving E over the Lake. Cloudy start to the day with some showers around. Should break into the low 80's later with the Sun coming out. Point showing 90+ come Fri on a light W wind, about the same on Sat, as well. That'll be miserable.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 The morning MCS activity across the sw half of Iowa likely ended any chance of storms here until Wednesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Pushing 7" for the month now here so if the next few days underachieve won't be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 90 for the high today. Rain free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Swing and a miss with today's MCS to the west and south. I would not mind another 0.75" tomorrow though. It could not make the humidity much worse. The dewpoint is already 73 degrees. How much higher could it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 looks like some garden variety scraps trying to build into the area for mid morning, gonna be juicy out later obv miss west and south this evening, maybe some early am scraps again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 0.11" of anvil rain so far has got us to the 7.00" mark for July officially. Better chance for heavier downpours tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 As expected, I only got some light anvil rain like Cyclone... about 0.15". The MCS track has been locked in for the last few days. Ottumwa had been the driest spot in Iowa, getting missed repeatedly over the last couple months, but they've been hit by at least five MCSs this week that have dropped several inches of rain.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The MCS train has not budged from its track through Ottumwa the last few days. Ottumwa has received 6-7" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBY personally has been getting shafted when it comes to the Pops. And then there is where I’m working and it’s been a deluge over on the east side. Hopefully something DTW-TOL in the next few days before we go back to a cool pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Nice stm complex over C MN. Should see some type of action around supper time. Currently mid 80's with dews running mid 60's to around 70, so a nice, warm day, but not oppressive around my area. That'll change in a couple days with low 90's on tap, although dews shouldn't be too high, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Gonna be interesting to see how the two convective areas evolve this evening out west. High-end severe in the Omaha area now moving northeast, and all the stuff up around MSP may sink southeast. Either way you slice it I'm penciling in some heavy downpours later tonight for this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Tonight's big event for my area has kinda been ruined by all the recent action to the southwest. All we have this evening is an outflow-dominated, bubbly line moving through central Iowa. There probably won't be much left when it gets here later.

WestMichigan Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Coolest July in 9 years at GRR. Enough rain to keep things green as well as overall cool temperatures. Except for the couple stretches of high humidity it was as Alek would say - "Best climo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Last night's line of storms held together better than I expected. I got a nice storm out of it, with rain that totaled 0.58". My final July rain total is 8.66". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
