IWXwx

Did you read IWX this morning? Given the incredible thermodynamics, Lake Superior connection, and synoptic support any mesolow or dominant band will be capable of producing snowfall rates of up to 3"/hour with thundersnow quite possible. There is still some uncertainty where exactly the band sets up and how long it stays in one area (models show some variation to the flow through Monday), but snow will be measured in feet, not inches, for any location that sees this dominant band visit for more than a few hours. Have a conservative 6-12" for La Porte County right now but that could certainly go higher. Winds will also be a concern with this event.

It's gonna take a lot more than 0.06" to break the FWA drought.

Thanks guys. I'm sure you're right. I know the soybeans are being harvested, but still quite a few corn fields around here that's still pretty green, but drying rapidly.

Drought conditions showing up on satellite.

Leave it to Spartman to declare summer cancel. Dayton expected 85-90 for the next seven days. A couple of those 89-90’s may be too low

Look like they will have the perfect weather for it during the next couple of weeks across our area per the Euro

@Jackstraw It's pretty interesting how different weather can be over a relatively small area with similar terrain and elevation. While you eregetting pounded over and over earlier this summer, I'm in drought.

My CoCoRaHS gauge caught only .64" in August. Lawn is completely dormant.

Do you really want LE rain? Wouldn't you want the lake to be as warm as possible going into the winter season? LE rain in August means that air temps are really cool, which would begin a drop in water temps and lessen the differential as we go into the cool/cold seasons. Asking because I don't know the answer.

Unfortunately, I called that one. 935 AM EDT Fri Aug 1 2025 /835 AM CDT Fri Aug 1 2025/ ...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT... The officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management have declared an Air Quality Action Day, in effect through today...Friday August 1. An Air Quality Action Day for PM 2.5 has been issued. Fine particulate levels are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exposure.

Yeah, it looks like after the afternoon popups over the next three days, we will be rewarded with some Canadian air, which will be refreshing as long as it isn't accompanied by wildfire smoke.

So after I posted our July differences in rainfall yesterday, I got hammered twice last evening, totaling 1.17" of much needed rain. Still a sauna here too.

From radar, it looks like you just got hit again. Meanwhile, 40 miles to your northeast, I've had a total of 0.73" in July, with 0.54" on one day.

Monsoonal rain here today too. Picked up a quick 3/4". Now the sun's back out.
