  1. I guess you guys are in a normal monsoon pattern with moisture coming out of the desert, storms developing over the mountains, and better than average dew points over the plains. At this moment, possible 2" hail at Boulder, Wellington
  2. Google maps panorama of RMNP's Alpine Visitor Center, with date-tag in December . In December, you couldn't drive on Trail Ridge Road, you would be freezing to death with 5 ft snow depth!!!
  3. I actually saved this radar at 4:00AM, and it turned out to be a tornado
  4. Right now, the SPC storm report graphic says 786 storm reports yesterday (unfiltered), with 600 being wind.
  5. Drought to 200% rain describes Michigan, Chicago, parts of Ohio
  6. My place had it a little different. At 4:00, more bolts than Amelie Arena during a Stanley Cup playoff game.
  7. I have a storm. A lot of flashes in the sky. the rain is coming in
  8. there's about 60 or 70 CG strikes shown
  9. I can see the lightning from the new thunderstorm that is between Lima and Columbus Grove OH from 50 miles away
  10. My place had a nice sunset with some various small puffy altocumulus clouds, some altocumulus castellanus in the distance, and an anvil in the distance. I didn't go jogging tonight because it's too hot. I usually like to go jogging if it is 80 or below close to sunset. Earlier today, the Toledo area to Detroit area had 70-77 dew points after the rains of the morning, but dew points decreased to about 70 with the mixing of the day.
  11. How many rotations are tucked into this thing anyway? Near Iowa Falls
  12. possible tornado north of the tornado warning
  13. I keep forgetting the 00z GFS just doesn't exist at 10:30PM eastern daylight. Oh well, the 3km NAM and HRRR have quite a bit of development in Wisconsin tomorrow.
  14. heavy squall line in Wisconsin, a few brief tornado warnings in the middle of the squall
  15. Toledo area had 0.5 to 3.58", definitely some trees down with perhaps multiple rounds of storms, and there was briefly a flash flood warning. Toledo city got out of the drought by getting enough rain for June and July this month
  16. The thunder and rain keep going here. It's so much what I was thinking would happen in June. It's going to be well over 1" by the time it ends in the morning hours.
  17. ooh, that might track over to me for some nighttime lightning BTW, HRRR sounding has up to 7400 J/kg of CAPE in Nebraska right now
  18. I saw a red sun tonight due to the forest fire smoke. There were just a few clouds in the way, about 20-30 min before sunset. A few clouds that looked pretty nice and pink. First quarter moon. Pretty hot for nighttime, but I guess it could be worse.
  19. by the way, temp: 108 dew point: 60 with some wind at Manhattan Kansas right now
