Nice round of anvil rains this morning.  2-day total up to 0.64".  Getting closer to the 5" mark for July.

zzzz…. bleak.  Very Republican precip pattern.  Rich get richer, poor get poorer.  Forever.

Are you pushing the "anvil rain" record yet? lol

I've tossed around the idea of changing my user name to anvil rain lol

Ended up hitting 90 for the 3rd day in a row this week. First heatwave since right after the 4th of July weekend.

After hitting the QC with heavy downpours, the once robust cluster of storms has quickly transformed to (you guessed it) anvil rains on final approach.  This is all bonus anyway as I didn't really think we'd get anything after the morning stuff departed.

I have spent many days hoping for an insane CAPE measurement in the northern Midwest. Looks like we got a confirmed 6000 J/kg in Aberdeen South Dakota

It appears the 80º dew point will be back Monday.  50s and 60s dp will surge into the region later in the week.  That'll feel good.

That's going to feel amazing after a nearly 2 week streak of 70-80 degree dews.
