Only 0.42" from the first two waves this morning, but just had a slow-moving thunderless shower dump over an inch in a half hour. Up to 1.56" for the day, 6.99" for July.
MLI and DVN are both well over 9 inches for the month now.
Yeah that big MCS last night definitely saved us for today humidity wise. Was looking like a shoe-in for 80+ dews today, but stayed mid 70s. Was quite refreshing lol.
After hitting the QC with heavy downpours, the once robust cluster of storms has quickly transformed to (you guessed it) anvil rains on final approach. This is all bonus anyway as I didn't really think we'd get anything after the morning stuff departed.
Nice clump of MCV convection slowly swirling this way. Putting down quite a bit of rain along it's swath out over Iowa.
EDIT: Jinxed it. It's on the decline now on approach lol
EDIT2: Had a period of gentle anvil rain. Picked up 0.14". Good chance the late night stuff hits us good though with some heavy rainfall potential then.
We're gonna put together a pretty impressive streak of daily 70+ dews. May make a run at a 2 week streak. Also will be some 80+ days mixed in as well.
Signs we may see some relief around the 31st when we finally get a blast of drier air.
Ahh, today's the 14th anniversary of this beauty from DVN's disco.
SHORT WAVE COMBINED WITH FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND HIGH CAPES SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT
OF THUNDERSTORMS IF CAP BREAKS. IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT THEN A
DESTRUCTIVE DERECHO WITH WINDS OVER 100 MPH IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.
CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD TAKE THE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE DVN CWA
