  1. some rain and small hail in the Chicago area. Possible 1" hail by Aurora.
  2. long-lived Typhoon Dolphin approaches China last night (that is, daytime, for that time zone,) with something like category 1, 85mph (75 kt) The HWRF shows this was a very low pressure, so maybe winds of cat 2 or better were gusts?
  3. Fort Collins had the hottest July on record with 77.5 average temperature and two days over 100. July 26 was an absurd high 101 low 67 with a trace of rain. That's too warm for the nighttime.
  4. It was 102 in Fort Collins-Loveland airport 97.5 at Fort Collins weather station The forest fire smoke doesn't seem to want to leave Colorado. Near-surface smoke and air quality have been probably up and down these days. I told you guys a long time ago there would be fire problems. I didn't know if Colorado would have the worst fires. Apparently Colorado hasn't had the worst fires. The smoke and fire has happened in the Oregon and Washington for many days. I think I saw there were 4 fires by Spokane, with suburbs being destroyed, reported on the news.
  5. Supercell east of Toronto, seen by Canadian and KBUF radar
  6. This storm warned for 2.75" hail and 70mph wind
  7. High rainfall/ chance of hail and wind at New York City, with considerable flash flood warning in NJ
  8. zoom in on Okinawa and vicinity with gusts of 55kt at Yoron Island north of Okinawa
  9. Typhoon Dolphin, with measurements at Okinawa and nearby
  10. Supertyphoon Dolphin has racked up an ACE of 39.5 as of today and is still at 95kt, with days to go.
  11. Toledo had 1.51" of rain on Aug 1-Aug 2. There were non-thunderstorm areas that stalled in the middle of the night/morning hours. Areas of 1" to 3" hit the area. It was much needed. My area got missed by rain a few days ago, with the SPC 30% wind risk. 1" is with some of the lighter green colors
  12. The Appleton tornado damage path was 12.1 miles long, and 0.85 mile wide, EF-3
  13. Supertyphoon Dolphin, almost the same as last night, 130kt as per JTWC
  14. Today's satellite of Supertyphoon Dolphin (135kt by JTWC)
  15. JTWC says it is at 130kt, a strong category 4 (supertyphoon) possibly rising to 155kt, which is much above the category-5 critera.
  16. I believe Supertyphoon Dolphin was up to 125kt/145mph today but is now down to 120kt/138mph. This is from about 12 hrs ago when the overall presentation looked the best
  17. The hook shape near Burlington plus the difference in velocities by Burlington. The velocities are inbound/outbound from the radar. (It can't see cross-wise wind). In this case, a somewhat small difference of like 30mph may be an indicator of a tornado, which of course has much stronger winds.
  18. tornado warning for Chapel Hill NC
  19. close up on velocity from TMDW yesterday
  20. Typhoon Dolphin (12W) is expected to get to 165kt by the JTWC. (July 31st)
  21. new tornado warning near Oswego, IL
  22. It was 100 all across the area today. It's pretty rare.
