Still showing around 3 inches of rain. It does look to move thru quickly so that should help some.
NWS la crosse…even says it doesn’t look anything like June…
Tuesday night or Wednesday as the remnants of the tropical storm actually deepen just to our north, favoring a very tight gradient while 925-850mb winds crank to 40-50+ knots. Needless to say, this doesn`t resemble June whatsoever (more like October/November) so will have to watch just how the wind potential evolves over the coming day or two.
The good news is that the last 2 runs of the GFS have cut rain totals a lot… now showing just over an inch (vs 3+)…so wind might be the bigger issue. Also the cold air gets squashed…much warmer 850 temps the last few runs so some cool overnight temps (50F ish) but not cold enough to worry about any plants.
92F here… dewpoints haven’t been insane…low 60Fs so not too bad.
The most outer bands of Cristobal have made it into S Wisconsin… newest model run now shows this thing coming more west so maybe right over the top of me… Interesting…as it winds up across L Superior and into Ontario…you can see some snow on the NW edges of it… lol. From the tropics to winter. … heaviest rains now look to hold more west of here too…so MN might get a nice shower.
Looking out on the sunset now and there is a circular arc of the edge clouds to our north as the storm comes up from the south. High, wispy, cirrus clouds all day from the south with a thin white line of cloud on the southern horizan. Almost kinda spooky.
Flash flood watch until Weds. in Des Moines. Highs Thur. in low 70s, today it was 94 on the deck.
Denver is 44F right now… Leadville, CO had snow overnight/as did many areas in the Rockies…almost 10 inches at 10K feet… Big difference in air masses in place across the mid section of the country…
Thrilled to get some rain here today! The last two days really dried things out. I had a peony that had just flowered- when the heat came it looked like it was melting! It bounced back now thankfully. They say the rain originated with hurricane Cristobal down South… I sent my kids out but they said it didn’t taste salty
Yeah its kinda not really different then any other storm because most of the rain that falls locally comes from the GOM or the Pacific…just that this low had its origin south of the Yucatan and made its way more or less directly north…where most of the lows come out of the Pacific northwest or drop down (clippers) out of Canada… This is not normal…but what is in 2020… next it will be a volcano or maybe an asteroid
Over an inch of rain… very mild…dewpoint around 70F. No lightning or anything. Just constant rain.
