    Looking forward to some more Iowa sloppy seconds Thu night.

    Thundering here with a very heavy overcast. Looks like most of the storms will stay just north though. Picked up 0.56" early yesterday morning.

    Picked up 0.27" early this morning. Had one really loud crash of thunder that broke up any plaque trying to build up in my arteries lol. Scared the crap out of me.

    Yep. There were several reports of 40+mph winds in the Chicago area around mid-morning, with 50mph estimated winds in Aurora. Festering zombievection and cloud shield over Iowa this morning won't help things for the DVN cwa. This one looks DOA for this area.

    Hard to believe met summer is already toast. I'm ready for some dynamic fall and winter systems. Chance for some storms tomorrow but it looks like the DVN cwa will mostly get the shaft again with severe prospects.

    Picked up 1.50" of rain last evening and early this morning. The little mini drought is pretty much over.

    Had a very heavy downpour at work with some crashes of thunder around noon. Picked up 0.14" here at home. Guessing at least a half inch fell at work. I need to buy a cheap rain gauge for work sometime.

    Nice soaker this morning, picked up 0.82". Was pretty impessive how dark it got for quite awhile as the storms came through. The book-end vortex passed right through the QC. Looked sort of like a tropical system on radar.

    Wow you guys got a nice soaking out there. I've been having issues with the Tropical Tidbits site the last few weeks. Doesn't seem to want to load the maps very quickly anymore.

    0.67" early this morning. Best rain since June 23-24.
  11. cyclone77
    If you would have told me back in early June that we'd be in a moderate drought by mid August there's no way I would have believed it. Went from one extreme to the other. Only 1.57" total since July 1st.
  12. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.27" of rain today. 1-2" was looking fairly likely with this 2-day event, but it ended up being a very wussy setup overall.
  13. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.19" this morning. Was enough to encourage a few sprouts of crab grass and add a few more mosquitoes to the population

    90 here today, 89 at MLI. Yeah I'm ready for the cool season. This summer has been pretty benign after the excessive spring rains subsided.
  15. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.39" from the decaying convection early this morning
  16. cyclone77
    Today was the 24th 90+ day of the year at MLI. 17 of those took place in July. Been in a slight risk for severe for the last several outlooks, but short-term guidance generally shows storms crapping the bed before getting here.

    I haven't seen the neighborhood lawns this bad since 2012. Basically no rain and intense sun day after day for over a month has taken it's toll. Haven't mowed since July 3rd.
  18. cyclone77
    It's gotta be awfully boring being a met during dull stretches like these. There's probably a lot of card games going on in area NWS lately lol.
  19. cyclone77
    Not in this sub, but tremendous amounts of rain fell in a narrow corridor in northeast KS last evening/early this morning. There's been a few reports of over 10" southeast of Topeka. Radar estimates as much as 13" may have fallen along that narrow corridor. Most of that fell in about 8hrs.
  20. cyclone77
    Well, in about 10 weeks it can snow.
  21. cyclone77
    Surprised SPC didn't issue a 2% tor threat from IL to parts of OH. These remnant circulations have a tendency to overachieve with lots of remnant vorticity. As Hoosier mentioned wind profiles aren't all that impressive, but they look good enough for the potential to see several tors this afternoon/early eve.
  22. cyclone77
    Had a few minutes worth of 45-50mph winds with the gust front. Shelf cloud associated with that looked pretty sweet.
  23. cyclone77
    Yeah it's been interesting watching it stall out, and has started to retreat back northeast a bit. 76mph reported at the Dubuque ASOS.
  24. cyclone77
    That new line rolling into the tri-state area of IA/WI/IL means business. Quite a few wind damage reports have been rolling in, and now there's even a tor warning southwest of Dubuque. SPC meso page has been showing steep mid-level lapse rates feeding in from the west, and helping to very quickly rebuild any instability lost from the earlier MCS. Could get interesting down this was in the next hour or so.
  25. cyclone77
    Yeah was puzzled that they weren't anticipating a new watch. The MCS is maintaining, and is only moving into a more favorable environment.
