Not sure, but here is another photo submitted from Greensburg to IND via Twitter:

2.06" of rain this morning brings the monthly total to 9.59". Normal for August is ~3.6", so we're killin' it.

The CoCoRaHS gauge has an inner measuring tube which measures to one inch, then overflows into the outer tube which holds 10 more inches. So if more than an inch falls, you dump the first inch in the inner tube and use the funnel to refill the inner tube to get the outer tube measurement. So the short answer is 11".

I feel the same way. However, how do you answer the public who wants winter season predictions? I know that you get that question because even in my position I get that a lot. I just answer what indices point to with a disclaimer that it is not my forecast. If you've seen my snowfall contest predictions for the past few years, you know that I don't have a clue. lol

After all of the rah-rah hype preceding last winter, Nina blah blah... Pac Jet ...SOI....PDO blah blah blah and comparing it to my outcome, I'll just wait until Thanksgiving, thank you. Que sera, sera.

Wow. That's really spotty. Is it just your specific location or are you on the edge of a larger deficit area?

Any drought concerns are null and void here now. 2.86" yesterday/last night and 7.09" since 7/31 and it is currently raining.

Yeah, I smelled it in the late afternoon here. I kept thinking someone was burning something in the area before I had the Duh! moment.

I haven't looked through the forum, so sorry if there's a thread somewhere, but there is an interesting article in last weeks Time magazine about the new American model, the FV³ (Finite Volume on a Cubed-Sphere) that is set to be operational by early next year. This is the first that I've read about it. http://time.com/longform/better-storm-prediction/

Smoke?

Agree, as I was also checking velocity. It just surprises me that it was that close to radar and there was little discernible low level rotation depicted.

If I'm not mistaken, there wasn't a tornado warning on this storm which was only about 15 miles from radar.

You know that it's a boring severe year when you are hoping to see a cold air funnel/landspout.

LOT techs have been trying to fix their radar for a couple of days now. They keep saying it should be fixed in a few hours, only to push it back. Maybe they should just smack it like I used to do my old tv to try to get it operational.

Not only has there been a dearth of severe, the past three weeks has also been very dry, other than the Southsiders and Hoosier country, depicted by this IWX map.

We were in Merrillville on Thursday and got to watch that great thunderstorm roll through, then spent yesterday at Wrigley where even though the good guys lost, a person couldn't ask for better weather. One more day of low humidity and sunshine, then back to swampa$$ corn fields.

I'm really looking forward to 72° with a northeast breeze at Wrigley on Friday.

Nice catch Buffalo. I'd like to do that sometime, but never have attempted it. Walleye is my favorite fresh water fish to eat. Does anyone know why NWS switched back to all caps in their products. Every time I open one, I feel like they're yelling at me.

Saukville better cover/tie down his palms. It looks like bo and Will are also in the Tornado Watch
