TheClimateChanger Posted Friday at 11:09 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:09 PM Couple of nice looking storm cells out there tonight. One near Rose City, Michigan, south of Huron National Forest, and one northwest of London, Ontario. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted Friday at 11:17 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:17 PM 2 hours ago, hawkeye_wx said: The WPC has a moderate chance for excessive rainfall across southeast Iowa, nw Illinois, and southern Wisconsin this weekend. The forecast has widespread 3-5+ inches across that area. The discussion even mentions isolated 9" totals are possible. DVN thinks 10" is possible. Yeah I'm definitely worried for some potentially significant flooding somewhere in S or SW WI. While it hasn't been as wet as most of IA over the last 30 days, it's still been wet enough to cause concerns even without some of the more extreme totals that models have put out. SW to NE is a bad direction for precip maxes in regards to the drainage network in this part of the state. And 6-10 inches of rain in a night would be very bad news for really any drainage around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted Saturday at 01:31 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:31 AM CAMs (18Z 3K NAM/0Z HRRR) aren't too enthused about much more than garden variety tomorrow. EHI is pretty low. SPC may have been over-optimistic expanding the slight risk into all of S. WI and adding a 2% tornado contour. Edit: 0Z 3K NAM is quite a bit more aggressive than the previous couple of runs. Hard to pin anything down with such lack of agreement/consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Saturday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:26 PM Biggest hailstones imby since we bought our house in 2018. Did not like the sounds coming off my roof at 5am this morning. 0.59” precipitation with the storm.

TheClimateChanger Posted Saturday at 02:04 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:04 PM Heat is certainly the big story today. At Muskegon, Michigan, the temperature soared to a new daily record of 91F yesterday, surpassing the previous record high of 90F, set in 1900, 1901, and 1941. Across Michigan, a number of stations exceeded 90F yesterday, with readings as high as 93F at Traverse City, Benton Harbor, and the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Pottawatomi Tribal Soil & Climate Analysis Network station. The point-click forecast for Cherry Capital Airport is 97F today! This would break a daily record and come within striking distance of the monthly high of 100F. Certainly stay cool out there in northern Michigan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted Saturday at 02:32 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:32 PM Early data in for July. Warmer one in the books after a string of near avg in recent years. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted Saturday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:25 PM Only 16 days AOA 90 at MLI this year so far (19 here). Usually not all that far behind Chicago but apparently the majority of the heat has been just east this year. Kind of feels like this year we've had a slot of debris clouds spilling eastward from Iowa (like today) co ck-blocking max temp potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted Saturday at 08:22 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:22 PM Looks like Iowa's leftover cloud debris screwed over the setup for the nw 2/3 of the DVN cwa. Will probably have to wait on whatever rolls in late tonight/tomorrow morning from that next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted yesterday at 01:52 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:52 AM It is going to be a long night for S WI for rain/flooding. Already a rare FFW out for Milwaukee and West Allis (On State Fair weekend no less!) with 2.5"+ hrly totals. And WPC just put out a pretty strongly worded MPD for the area.

Accidents everywhere along 94 from downtown and south. In a 15mi stretch I must have seen 10 accidents if not more. Lanes suddenly blocked with impassible standing water, underpasses flooded (passible but had to idle through), cars spun out and blacked out in the middle of the highway, visibility was absolute garbage… that was a sketchy drive and I definitely shouldn’t have been out there, but as a weather nerd it was still pretty cool to see. Didn’t look like any of the accidents were too serious but none of them had emergency crews on scene yet, so there were just random cars sitting in the middle of the road or crashed against the barriers. The CG was very impressive as well. Glad to be home safely in my bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM So far, we’ve enjoyed a leisurely .7” here, south of Madison. However, it just started to REALLY dump on us…even my Starlink is struggling…so I think we’re finally going to actually get a good round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted yesterday at 03:40 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:40 PM Yesterday’s 5.74” at Milwaukee was its second highest daily amount on record. Six of the top ten daily rainfalls have occurred since 2000. Records go back to 1871. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted yesterday at 03:50 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:50 PM The heavy rain band filled in at the last minute this morning and dumped 1.5-3" across the Cedar Rapids area. I finished with 1.94". This was a massive bust for southern Iowa. Instead of 3-5", as forecasted by the WPC, they got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:56 PM 5 years ago OTD. Looked a lot like being in a car wash. @hawkeye_wx Probably still a notable lack of trees, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile this side of the lake dry as a bone as usual. Glad you got home safely. I had a somewhat similar experience driving home from a severe event on Aug 24-25 2023. Then it was snapped trees across the freeway backing up traffic. Nothing like a 45 minute drive turning into a 2.5 hour drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
