  1. I hate to take the lazy man approach but shouldn’t 1957-1958 be a top analog? Triple dip La Niña, followed with a strong El Niño, obviously no analogs are the same, but it’s the only triple dip nina followed by strong Nino that we have record of, right?
  2. Yeah seems the rain chances are going to be few and far between for the northern portion of the sub. August is going to be an interesting month with a strengthening strong El Niño. How the hell are we 6ish weeks away from met fall? Anyway, I’m taking advantage of the warm summer and drier days ahead, me and the pops are hitting the lake this week for crappie fishing. Time to stock the deep freeze.
  3. I love fall. That first hoodie night with chili in the crockpot is unmatched.
  4. Corn should start tasseling soon, cicadas will be out, and the smell of sweating cornfields will soon permeate throughout. It’s July 9th and the summer keeps chugging along at a rapid pace.
  5. It appears cyclones call for a wet July has come to fruition, at least here locally, as training thunderstorms brought 3.50” of rain Saturday morning. Multiple chances of rain this coming week, the flash drought should soon be a distant memory.
  6. What a day. An untouched atmosphere in over a month produced one of the most severe days in years here. Just ordered pizzas from dominoes (the only thing open) and clean up begins.
  7. No power still. I have no doubt those 100mph winds mixed to the surface. Running on generator, corn in flat in the fields, curious to see if a tornado went through.
  8. They are fine. Thanks for asking. Large hole in the roof.
  9. They did. Significant tree damage in tolono and savoy. I live in savoy. Traffic being redirected. No power for 2 hours now. Buddy had a tree fall on his house with wife and kids inside.
  10. Less than .1” last night. Another hot and sunny day on tap. Extreme drought conditions should be monitored on the next update here in Champaign.
  11. I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, but freedom isn’t free, and my uncle gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Be blessed to live in the greatest nation, people died for this freedom.
  12. Small chance for precip next weekend, other than that same ole song and dance. The back door cold front midweek looks short lived.
  13. One positive to the drought are the cooler nights they usher in, the brutally hot summer of 2012 featured quite a few of them. IMO nothing is worse than a 80 degreee low, ironically the summer of 2011 was notorious for hot humid nights.
  14. Heading into the driest part of the year, things can quickly spiral out of control. Corn is wilting here already.
  15. 92 here in the paign. Corn is starting to stress the earliest I’ve ever seen since the blazing summer of 2012
  16. Should see another significant expansion next week as well. My 7 day highs 90,95,92,88,88,86,86. Very little chances for precipitation as well.
  17. Make that two 92s in a row. This weekend the heat gets ratcheted up another few degrees.
  18. 7” snowfall during the winter certainly didn’t help. We might be in trouble soon. Things look bleak.
  19. 92 with a few more hours of peak heat. Full sun and gentle breeze. Grass is showing signs of stress.
  20. Gonna be definite hit or miss.my grid has no rain for 10+ days and upper 80s and lower 90s. 2012 lite summer incoming?
  21. Moderate drought incoming. No precip for the next 7-10 days
  22. Naw free ac at night is nice. Let’s keep it rolling
  23. Second place should hold. See nothing in far of precipitation for the foreseeable future. Incredible turnaround. The faucet has been turned off here, sprinklers are going and lawns are turning brown in sun exposed areas.
