IWXwx

There you are. I was wondering what happened to you.

Picked up 1.31" in 45 minutes from a t-storm as the cool front moved through last evening, taking our month's total to 10.67". The grass is supposed to be brown and dormant around here in late August. This having to mow every five days sucks, but my garden appreciates it.

Shhhh! The administration will want to throw a tariff on it.

I read somewhere that a high amount of Saharan sand can knock down the threat and there was a large amount being transported this year. Does this have any basis in fact?

6.72" here in the past seven days and 8.64" for the month. It looks like there may be multiple windows open nights this week.

5.24" IMBY this week. Thankfully it didn't all fall at once. However, an area south of Muncie to east of Indy saw double digits with bridges washed out, etc.

Was in on a huddle with their WCM during the storms. The justification for the mass tor warnings was based on the reports of 95 MPH gusts upstream, equaling EF-1 speeds.

It has been a storm lover's delight here this morning. Constant thunder and lightning for the past hour and forty-five minutes, with 2.72" during that time and it's still coming down. The northern part of our county got additional storms last evening. I'm guessing that they are well over 4.5" in the past twelve hours.

Cue Spartman's weekend washout post

Right between me and @Jackstraw Public Information Statement National Weather Service Northern Indiana 517 PM EDT Tue Jul 28 2026 /417 PM CDT Tue Jul 28 2026/ ...Tornado confirmed in Grant County, Indiana from thunderstorms on July 27, 2026...

Track and detailed damage information will be released once further review of data from Grant County Emergency Management is received. This will be no earlier than the afternoon hours of July 29th.

Just picked up 1.62". My garden said thanks.

IWX obviously isn't bailing due to the south trend, mainly because of their thought that we are still in the game south of 30 with the warm front, as you alluded to earlier. From discussions, I got the idea that they aren't very happy with SPC's demoting us to slight, but of course they won't come out and say it, hence their post.
