Ominous looking clouds have been lurking overhead all day, but they're all show and no go. May get a brief shower later this evening after the fireworks.
Dews have shot up from the 50s this morning to the lower 70s currently.
Right on the eastern edge of the severe threat. Not really expecting severe but hoping for a decent downpour before the storms crap the bed.
Looking pretty juicy. Flash drought cancel.
Our streak of 90 degree days has ended at 7, as today will stay in the 80s. Have a few more 90+ days for tomorrow and Tuesday, but after that it looks like all 80s into early July.
4-6" of rain across the far north Chicago suburbs this evening, with a nice heavy soaker for much of the rest of northern IL/Chicagoland. So nice to see a widespread soaker after all of these piddly hit and miss "air-mass" storms the past week.
Not in our sub but just south of Sioux Falls SD there's 2 reports where over 17" of rain fell the past 3 days.
Extreme northwest corner of IA picked up close to a foot of rain.
