June 2025 General Discussion

[OrdIowPitMsp]

High of 72 with 1.68” of rainfall. 
 

Not a single rumble of thunder up here, much different atmosphere in southern Minnesota today. 

[madwx]

2.86” of rain so far this week. Should get another round tonight before the pattern reloads over the weekend

[hawkeye_wx]

It appears a broken, weakening line of showers and storms this evening will be it for the week.  As Cyclone said, this ROF pattern has been lousy.  The heat and humidity is there, but the other ingredients are all weak.

[Brian D]

0.10" of rain yesterday. It was a cool, wet day. Thought we'd picked up more rain than that, but it was light. A little more on tap today. 

[sbnwx85]

Getting some solid boomers.

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Monsoonal rain for the past hour+ here.

We’ve been stuck at 63 all day here. Glad to be north of the front. Two days in the 90s was enough for me.

Our two day rain total will probably be somewhere around 3” once all is said and done in Minneapolis.

The front is only 100 miles south of me, its in the 90s

I know that I have brought this up a few times over the past couple of years, but it finally looks like it is going to happen...

NOAA sent out a TIN/PNS today regarding the decommissioning of the NAM (And other guidance) in favor of the RRFS. This change is currently set to occur in early 2026.

Has the RRFS been doing pretty well?  I honestly haven't been paying enough attention to it as I probably should have lol.

Made 93 here, 91 at MLI today.  Even with the indices up near 100 it wasn't too bad out there with the solid breeze today.

[IWXwx]

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

[SchaumburgStormer]

Missed multiple storms over the last few days by 2-3 miles. Listening to thunder while watering the garden is superb… 

[Chicago Storm]

It hit 94° at ORD and 95° at MDW today.

Both locations were 89°'d yesterday, while all inland areas hit 90°+.

...2025 90°+ Day Tally...

9 - ARR
9 - LOT
8 - ORD
8 - MDW
8 - RFD
8 - PWK
6 - UGN

It has had its ups and downs.

The biggest issue is that everyone looks at the simulated radar reflectivity output from it, which runs very hot, making everything look like a sup ready to produce the next EF-5.

[Cary67]

Storms dropped another 1.30" here in the last few hours

[cyclone77]

Outflow boundary almost here.  About to get some withering Iowa sloppy seconds.

[sbnwx85]

Storms dropped 1.34” of rain over the last 24 hours.

[Mogget]

According to my garden rain gauge, we got 1.5” last night, brining the week’s total to 3.7”.  Needed and appreciated.

Also, I ate my first fresh cherry tomato of the 2025 season last evening. 

[cyclone77]

Iowa's decaying mass of precip dumped 0.06" here overnight.  That brings us to 3.51" for June.

[OrdIowPitMsp]

High of 66 yesterday with 0.76” of rain. Warming trend begins today.

[WestMichigan]

Can you guys send a little rain this way?  Things are getting pretty brown out here.

[hawkeye_wx]

Last night's weakening crap dropped 0.45" here, which makes my weekly total 1.39".  So, we basically got average rain out of this "wet" pattern.

My June total is only 3.09, which is 2" below average.

[Brian D]

0.93" of rain yesterday. Cloudy, cool day again today with some drizzle this morning. Up to 3.50" here in town for the month. Edging close to avg which is 4.23". June is our wettest month with July not far behind at 4.05". 

[TheClimateChanger]

Certainly, keeping a close eye on the temperatures here as we close out the books on the month of June. It looks like June 2025 will go down in the weather annals as one of the hottest on record. In Southeast Michigan, it looks like Flint and Saginaw will see top 10 heat, and Detroit should finish up around that number in the means when all is said & done. Same with nearby Lansing, where threaded climate records extend back to 1863. In Saginaw, this could be the 2nd hottest June since 1949 (behind only 2005) if current forecasts hold!

Final June 90F count should be interesting as well. Detroit is up to 4 on the month - can they reel off a couple more? In @Spartmanland, Dayton is up to 6, all in a row. Today should make that 7 in a row, and there's a chance for one or two more before the month is through. Haven't seen more than 7 90+ days at Dayton in the month of June since 1994. I know @Spartmanis a big 90-degree enthusiast, and hater of clouds, rain and sub-90 degree readings, so he must be loving this stretch. Suffice it to say, 2017's disastrous 3-day total will not be repeated in 2025.
