Picked up 0.16" from decaying precip globs earlier. DVN has us in a FFW but that's needed about as much as a winter storm warning.

It's pretty hard to hit 100 around here without a major drought it seems. '95 is one of the rare times when we hit 100 when it wasn't a dry period. All this hybrid corn really puts a dent in ultra max out potential. For us to ever have a shot at 110+ it will have to be a near dust-bowl era type of drought that wipes out most of the crops fairly early on in the summer. With as strange as the weather has been this year I could see something like that happening eventually unfortunately.

That's crazy heat out there. For MLI to beat their all time record by 5 degrees it'd have to hit 116. Can't imagine that ever happening lol.

Glad we lucked out and got into those showers early this morning as tonight's action crapped the bed as it approached the Mississippi River. Next chance for precip looks to be on Mon.

Picked up 0.51" from thunderless showers early this morning. We're sort of sneaking through this period getting just enough rain to be beneficial, and very little thunderstorm activity. Up to 2.99" for June now, with 2.09" of that just since this past Tuesday.

Looks like it will be pretty warm in Georgia and South Carolina.

Nice. Yeah not sure why DVN hasn't issued a warning for that area, 6" of rain should definitely warrant a FFW IMO. Looks like a quiet night here, as models mostly suggested. Storms that were approaching are crapping the bed.

0.06" more this morning to bring us up to 0.61" for the day, and 0.65" since last evening. Enough to keep me from watering at least. Some models keep us in sort of a dead zone for the heaviest rains, but all it takes is one good cell to come over and it could easily drop a quick inch.

Decent soaker here with 0.59". 3-4" fell down in southern Henry County.

Rain beginning here now. Nice swirling comma head down by IA/MO border looks like it may swing northeastward up this way later on and dump on us pretty good.

0.00" here today, but it dumped on work for a bit. I'll take the 2-3" stuff, don't need none of that 6-10" crap that MO will be getting lol.

RGEM went nuts and drops 6-9" of rain just southwest of the QC tomorrow night alone.

There's gonna be widespread 80 degree dews about the 2nd week of July across much of the region after all this rain and mature corn.

Picked up 0.80" this morning.

0.00"

45 here, coldest met summer low since station data began back in 2015.

Looks like great sleeping weather tonight, as mid 40s look likely. Great camping weather!

It's pretty messed up someone would post something like that on social media without knowing apparently anything. Not cool.

00z Euro shows very nice widespread rains Thu-Sun for most of the sub, with some areas receiving more than 3". Only at 0.90" for the month here so I'm hoping for at least 2-3" out of this.

Hopefully this chaser is wrong about this.

Picked up 0.43" from a weakening storm just a short while ago. U gotta take what u can get lately.

Currently getting split by two developing lines of storms, can hear the thunder from the one just southeast. If the one out by CR falls apart before getting here we really could get zero rain today which would really be lol worthy. That being said I went out and watered everything a bit ago with the thunder in the distance.

2 waves of rain have approached today and crapped the bed right before getting here. 0.00" for the day.

Definitely seems like the ongoing MCV will be a big focus today. Convection continues to bubble up nicely from central IA down into especially northern MO. Would imagine that to hold it's own for several hours and eventually increase and become severe later today. Any place ahead of that feature is in play for today, just depends how soon it takes off and starts producing severe. Definitely could see some tor potential with that. Behind it with the cold front is definitely looking pretty good as well. Very nice synoptic setup for a band of severe with that. How strong that gets depends on how much Iowa destabilizes later today. Clearing already working into western IA already. SPC meso shows steep mid LR out over the Plains, and those will shift into IA later today which will also help. Forecast soundings show pretty good low-level shear and nice vorticity advection with the potent incoming vort max is nice as well. HRRR has showed isolated cells popping up ahead out in the open warm sector which may be another good sign. All in all should be an interesting day.

8 AOA 90 degree days here this year, all in June. MLI has 9. Lots of lightning in the southern sky tonight. A big FU from ma nature as she teases us yet again.
