perhaps another severe storm, 70dbz, hail, near Mayjawintastawm
-
Out of all those storms, some areas of Northwest Ohio got 2-4" of rain yesterday. This means that the Toledo area got 2-3" (1.5" + 1.5") or possibly more since July 30th. I am not sure if the cornfields need 3-4" of rain all at the same time, but here is Williams County, OH.
-
Vertical cumulus clouds in the evening light. What you can't see from this picture: the Mummy Range, which is normally visible. Today there were some supercells with 2-3" hail over the plains of NE Colorado.
-
This heavy rain provided a soaking for northern Iowa, but conveniently missed the drought area in southern Iowa and northern Missouri.

Thanks, I guess that floaters web site is hidden pretty well, but you found it. Hector is up to 120 kt. It seems that the Atlantic is unlikely to produce a highly active season, but this Cat-4 storm might be scaring some Hawaiians, to some degree

Spring/Summer 2018 Banter and Complaint Office
Chinook replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Anybody remember this? A blast from the past. Currently, this forum doesn't really look or feel a lot different. But I would suspect there were more in-depth weather conversations going on in 2004 or 2005 or something. -
This is the best GOES-W IR satellite image of Hurricane Hector I can find on any NOAA web page. The NOAA tropical cyclone floaters web page has now become defunct for GOES-E and GOES-W as there are no floaters. I am wondering if maybe these floaters for GOES-W exist but it's just not obvious how to view them. Clearly, Hurricane Hector is best viewed from GOES-W. here is web site I am complaining about: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/floaters.html

I live in Loveland now, so the hail missed me. Fort Collins and Loveland got above normal precipitation for July. Yay! Today, we have upper 80's probably 90 near I-25, and the smoke from distant wildfires is much worse. Many of our recent days have been a little hazy and cloudy at times, but today, I can't see Long's Peak from Loveland. It is in a world of haze. I think I might even smell smoke, but it is hard to detect.

Interesting matter-of-fact type discussion from NHC on Hurricane Hector. See NHC for full discussion text. Hurricane Hector is now forecast to intensify to 105 kt (120 mph) in 4-5 days.

2018 Short to Medium Range Severe Thread
Chinook replied to tornadohunter's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
NWS STORM SURVEY INDICATED A WEAK EF-0 TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN NEAR OREGON OHIO ON THE EVENING OF JULY 31ST AND TRACKED NORTH TO NEAR POINT PLACE BEFORE DISSIPATING. THE 5 (CLE). Point Place is the northeastern tip of Toledo -
These are storm reports from just Wyoming and Colorado CWAs, and Goodland CWA, July 26th-30th. Tornadofest! A few of the hail/wind icons represent sub-severe wind and hail, but not too many.
-
in this area, the late July-August time frame usually has much less shear and less severe weather. I can see the towering cumulus and anvil clouds 30-70 miles east of me. As you might imagine, there's no way to distinguish between the three cells from this distance. It looks like one mass of clouds.
-
This is a possible tornado about 2.5 mi north of Cheyenne's airport (and radar)
-
This may be the best 0-6 km shear I've seen in an unstable sector in mid-summer. It would be about a 1 hour drive for me to get out to the supercells, but I don't think I want to do it.
-
Tornado, wind, and hail reports in Sterling. The tornado report said that it was in a field, so that's good.
-
If you were to take just the 13z outlook, with enhanced, the verification is not great. The moderate risk verification (16z) looks worse. The East Coast slight risk was about OK. A lot of storm spotters reported wind damage near Washington/Baltimore, that's partially because there are a lot of people there.
-
So far, the moderate risk/enhanced risk has only resulted in a few areas of severe reports, with 3 tornadoes east of Denver, from (I think) different short-lived supercells,
-
This was the radar image of the hailstorm as it passed over Cheyenne. The storm expanded east-west as it developed. The west side of this storm broke off, and moved SSE, and that's my picture from last night (maybe weak rotation). (see 2nd image)
-
This is a shelf cloud from a discrete (hail) cell NE of Fort Collins tonight. This was not taken from home, but a convenient location away from trees and houses. Otherwise, my area got just a few sprinkles, maybe 0.01" of rain today. Fort Collins has gotten above normal rain for this month,even though this storm missed by a bit.
-
Another (marginally) severe hailstorm is tracking across the north metro I-25/E470, possibly tracking over DIA soon. edit: storm getting worse, possibly dropping 1.5" to 2.0" hail. This is showing a hook shape, but nothing big on velocity
-
This must have been the storm. Looks like 60-70 dBz at either I-225 or road C470. (Not sure)
-
Things were not terribly stormy, as we got 0.10" to 0.50" of rain in the area, with a few weak rumbles of thunder at my place yesterday. Over two days, my place got about 0.25". Thankfully, it was much cooler, around 70 for the afternoon. Parts of Larimer County have gotten some better rains in the past 2 days.

Some heavier rain areas are starting to spread across the Denver metro/ north to Longmont. As severe thunderstorm watch is in effect Denver and southeast-ward. Now there's a tornado warned storm tracking toward Manitou Springs/ Pike's Peak. Seriously, there's a mountain that might disrupt the tornado inflow, if there ever is a tornado.
