just what the doctor ordered

fingers crossed.

Basically, the wet period didn't make a dent for most. Anyone got a map f area totals since July 4. And now it sounds like back to hot and dry.

That does it I'm cancelling my BAM WX subscription.

morning update: "Lightning flashed ; thunder roared ; the wind howled ; rain fell in torrents"

yeah, sort of my thoughts as well.

should I water the flowers? Was hoping for a good soaking, but the board optimism seems to waning a bit.

was moreso referring to how complicated and difficult it is to time these storm clusters even more than 6 -8 hrs out. And sure enough LOT alluded to it in this mornings AFD " AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THERE IS LITTLE SKILL IN FORECAST TRACK AND TIMING OF THE INDIVIDUAL CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED VORT PIVOTING AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE." looks like a busy next week from here so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. Finally caved and rolled out the sprinkler yesterday in an effort to save the lawn.

convection just toys with forecasters. Looks like were staying dry.

I feel this was targeted at me.

please make it........

How fast things change. Could sure use a meandering upper level low traversing the region with cool and showers. Of course, pretty much passed the time of year where those occur.

What's the word on rainfall on Saturday? LOT sounded a bit more bullish this morning in their AFD.

yup. I'm really hoping for a good soaker saturday.

Hoosier gone dark. Praying, most likely.

" VERY DRY AIR ALONG AND NEAR THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL KEEP THE RAIN AWAY FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK. " DOOM

98 gonna be the number at ORD.

it's going to 99 isn't it? The weenie prayer sealed it.

me keeping the garden going a week from now

$600 in coolant last week and still don't know if the leak was repaired. Might pack up and head down to see the boy at Grace and LSD for a few days.

was just going by the LOT zone forecast. But anything above 85 is summertime to me. I know you prefer blazing heat. on cue i see the updated zones go upper 80's as opposed to low 90's.

after tommorow 90's everyday for the rest of the week. Flash drought indeed.

never heard of this before: "AND SUBTLY INCREASING PROBABILITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FLASH DROUGHT. "

Hydrangea and Begonia leaves torched black here from past two days.

I'm a heat guy. And this seems like a pretty good sustained heat for so early in the season. Seems like we always wait until the 4th to get days on end of clear and hot.
