Ahh, can't believe it's already been a year since I mentioned this memory, gotta do it every year lol. This is part of the epic afd DVN constructed on the afternoon 10 years ago today. Ahh the memories. 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.

Picked up 2.52" since yesterday afternoon, up to 3.58" for July now.

Picked up another 0.73" this evening, had 45mph winds from the garden variety line of storms. Up to almost 2" in past 12hrs, was briefly in tor watch earlier which was kind of exciting lol.

First legit storm of the year finally for here today. Picked up 1.18" of rain.

If mother nature is in the mood to even the score then hopefully she'll give this whole sub a substantially snowy December to make up for the past several duds.

Looking forward to some more Iowa sloppy seconds/anvil rain tomorrow night lol.

Most boring spring/summer for weather in my lifetime no doubt about it. Hopefully something in late July or August helps to make up for it. Picked up 0.13 of light rain earlier.

The last time Death Valley was <100 degrees (at least on the hourly obs) was early Tuesday July 6th. They bottomed out at 103 this morning (hourly ob), and hit 130 on Friday. Picked up 0.39" of rain here early this morning.

Only 68 for a high today. Have had steady extremely light rain all afternoon, picked up 0.12", 0.15" fell last evening.

Indeed. This has been the summer of endless anvil rains. Right on cue there's a blob of it heading in now lol. Pretty exciting stuff! Burlington IA about to get rolled with a nice hailer.

Prob jumping the gun but went ahead and made a map for xmas eve about 6pm.

Looking forward to some more anvil rains tomorrow afternoon/night.

Picked up 0.21" of anvil rain this afternoon.

Hit 90 here and also at MLI today.

Hit 90 today here, MLI made 91. Last 1" rainfall here was way back on May 9th, almost 2 months ago now. Been a desperately boring past 5 months to say the least weatherwise.

Just heard the first cicada of the year (the non 17yr kind), always a sign you're entering the armpit of summer.

Yep

I bought one in 2010, used it for about 6 years and gave it to a buddy after I got the Davis VP2. It's still working flawlessly for him apparently. My Davis VP2 only lasted a few years and then the transponder crapped out lol. Got another Vue and it's been working great for the last 3 years or so. Would definitely recommend the Vue.

I'm just gonna say see avatar from now on lol

Picked up 0.20" of anvil rain early this morning. Top 10 event this summer.

After tagging 110 earlier, Quillayute now has fog and 62 degrees lol. That's gotta feel pretty nice. Keep in mind the sun doesn't set there for another 40 minutes.

Northwest IL has been in the relative screw zone as well. Hopefully we can get into some ROF MCS stuff sometime this summer.

Seattle actually bumped back to 104, but the Dalles is up to 118 which is a new Oregon state max. The wind shifted from northeast to south at Quillayute WA and the temp dropped from 109 to 81 in the past hour.
