473K without electricity in Michigan alone. I mean I knew storms were forecast but wow..

PJM is forecasting a record grid load on 7/2. Yesterday it was forecast to be 162, this morning they updated it to 166MW. The record I believe is 162 in 2006.

What a day.. I'm surprised they didn't go with moderate at some point. Even at 20z it was obvious something was up. Evansville fire and EMA were talking on the radio about watching Ryan Hall trying to figure out where the tornado was.

From the scanner it sounds like there's a lot of damage in the Evansville area and Warrick County. Took quite awhile to get a proper warning on that one too.

We did indeed have snow mixed in with rain around 4:35 this morning in northern Noble County.

Would be a perfect drought buster. Fingers crossed.

It looks like AIFS has been consistent on a cooldown around the 20th - 22nd.

We picked up quite a bit from the storms last night here in northern indiana. I'm in the process of acquiring a new stratus gauge so I didn't get any readings but other sources said 3 - 3.5" over the span of two hours. Really torrential rain. At one point I looked down to see it flooding into the warehouse around midnight.

I think we're well overdue for the SOI to dip neutral / negative. Need to dump this hot nonsense.

Fort Wayne has received some crazy amounts of rain the last couple days. A little over 9 inches after a flash drought. Lots of street flooding around on top of 60 - 70 mph winds last night that left 14K without electricity.

88/79/103 here in Fort Wayne right now. I guess a big storm went through Bridgman MI last night and flooded / destroyed a substation close to the lake. 14.5K out of electricity I feel bad for them as hot as it is. 7.44 inches in 144 minutes.

I was watching that band go nuts up there by SB wondering what it looked like on the ground. There's another moderate band over FW right now and then the end is near..

We have about 2 inches on the ground now in Fort Wayne. There's a lull right now.

I feel like IWX will be rolling out the warnings soon. Probably with a south bend cutoff.

GFS v16 shows us cashing in on 12 inches with this first system and then ramps the total up to 18 by 00z Sat. So roughly 6 inches for the Thursday deal but still a long way out. It almost seems to follow the same track, snow amounts increase pretty linearly compared to the Monday system.
