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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
