Lightning

There are times I really think I could sell myself to cities in the Plains or MW as a big T-storm repellant. Save your city and hire me to move to your city. In fine print tell them the city might be destroyed when I go on vacation

Yeah the models definitely struggles with this system. Once it became 2 distinct waves instead of 1 bigger one the models seemed to be playing a lot of catch up to reality. Funny thing is the NAM the past 2 days seemed to perform the best for MBY. I did okay with nearly an 1". Like you say hawkeye it was a slow soak which is great for soil!

I have some great memories some fun fall tstorms. Tornadoes around here ... not so much

Fun video. Yeah I am hoping for a magical fall. August just does not look exciting IMO as everything seems to keep diving south of here again.

Oh well. Feeling that a big event just is not gonna happen IMBY this summer. This is not a widespread thing for SE MI rather an unfortunate localized thing for a second summer in a row which every storm has found a way to avoid MBY. This summer is an improvement from last year but again storms have found a way to miss here by a few miles (in July just south of Fenton they had a 4.45" storm while MBY being 2 miles further south only got 0.7" out of that event). Now 2021 summer was completely opposite which MBY got hit by several great events (funny how it balances out ).

This lead wave currently in northern MO being stronger is significantly impacting Aug 6th and 7th event. Models are all over the place. The 0z RGEM has me mostly dry

I love this type of weather too as I enjoy the humid days!! Humidity has never bothered me. I also enjoy fall and winter but could skip spring and go right to mid-summer weather like this with nocturnal storms every couple nights!!

The moon has been end times red the past couple nights!!!

Looks like it had some damage years ago and hasn't recovered well.

That's what it was like here yesterday. Solid Blue Sadly today was a bit milkier around here.

Well they have occurred throughout the years. Wild fires are a yearly occurrence and not anything new or recent. Not every year do the winds/patterns bring them to everyone's backyards. Location of the fires in Canada this year with the weather pattern made this one especially long / bad for the GL & NE.

Looks very accurate for MBY. Dark green at around 125% with many surrounding areas in the blues with around 200%+. I am surprised it has caught the local hole I am experiencing. But at least it's wet unlike last year which was extremely dry.

It crazy how some storms are loaded with CC lightning. Deep red on radar right on you. Sky looks like the 4th of July grand finale but no CG to be seen.

Yeah that is all it was hear too with a grand total of a 1/2" of rain. There was one line heading this way with some CG but 3 miles prior to hitting MBY then it all went silent. Howell got it. Then the big rumbles 10 mins apart started. Too much too early in WI, IL and IA for a great event in most of MI. As usual SW MI got clipped and then the heavier storms hit lower counties into IN and OH. Glad it was basically what I was expecting once I looked at radar before going to bed. The storms I got in 6 days of vacation in the UP were better than what I have seen around here.

Got home and found todays high here 88 on the station. Still only one 90 degree day (7/5) all summer IMBY.

Classic. I am beginning wonder if we will have the curse of the flood watch occur. The point and click keeps decreasing. Now down to quarter to half inch for tonight. Not gonna have any flooding with a half inch! Heck any puddles would be gone by morning.

Love this heat and humidity. On vacation in the UP and have had 3 rounds of thunderstorms in 36 hours. Sadly vacation is over. But looks like I'll be home the possibility of storms tomorrow evening

Bo looks to be in line for a good storm.

Really fun thunder right now. Lightning fulling the sky with very loud rumbles that last 30 seconds to 1+ minutes. Music to my ears.

On the other side in the Porcupine Mtns today. Such wonderful weather Storms in the morning. Sunny low 80s. Storms expected tonight here (evening for you).

Popup camper. Off the ground which is great but still the tent feel.

It had some winds to it. Looks like the strongest was just to my south. Getting good rains now. Okay lightning but with all the trees I can only see flashes. I am not right on the lake in the campground (set up the trip to late for a lake site).

That line of storms coming off LS is about to move through my camp.

Right there with you. I have only seen a handful of CG. Nothing close (we had a couple a but I was looking the wrong direction of course). I am also waiting for one of those great CG events. Nocturnal training events are my favorite. 15-20 minute severe weather events are definitely fun but couple hour nocturnal events are what I prefer too. Sadly they have been MIA in our area in recent years.

Yes there was severe weather. The overall results where an underperformer compared to the majority of the the potential that was being modeled. He is not belittling the areas that were hit but rather pointing out it was expected to be much worse.
