Holy crap, careful what you wish for!! I've been whining about the NON-soon, well it just gave us a "how do you do". In 45 minutes I picked up 1.67" of rain at a max of 9" per hour (per the RW bucket), pea size hail (that's about as big as we usually get) 39mph gust (no biggie) and a temp drop of 24F. Whew....
It also helped me discover how many leaks in my widow sills that must be dealt with.... ](*,)

Kind of rain that brings the bullfrogs out.
Thems ain't bullfrogs here, they're Colorado river toads, and they'll be out in the zillions now.

Good to hear, sir.  :grin:

Arrange to send some down to south of Sierra Vista where my sister lives.

Thanks, but sis has nothing to worry about. I don't know exactly, but they must average at least double what we in Tucson get.

EDIT: Hate putting out bad info so I checked and Sierra Vista only gets on average 19% more rain than Tucson does. That really surprised me... :oops:

Finally got outside to check my Stratus gauge against my Rainwise tipper and couldn't be happier, especially considering how much the wind was blowing and maxing out at a 9" per hour rate, RW 1.69", Stratus 1.67". =D> This is by far the best comparison I've ever had between the two and am tickled at the results, especially since I calibrated the RW myself with a gallon milk jug. This is exactly why I use my RW as my "official" rain measurement, not the Stratus. Damn good tipper...

Here's a real nice loop of an MCV that's forming from a decaying MCS from last night in Sonora MX.

Just about one of the most uncomfortable evenings I can remember here in NW Kansas in 40 years. Temperature 88, Wind calm, DP 78, RH 72%. And it is 8:30 p.m.

How did I ever survive growing up without air conditioning?

Power rates are too high to have it on all the time.  I use it for a few hours in the evening to get to sleep.  It has a timer to shut itself off.  Ceiling fan the rest of the day.

So.... it's mid July.... it may feel like 110° this afternoon...  and yet, MSP Airport STILL has some snow on the ground. They Instagramed this picture yesterday of their "dump zone". I really want to go play in it ;)

Winds in S Minnesota and N Iowa reaching 70 mph with hail.

Brother in Laws cabin in Western Wisconsin has a lot of trees down. I loaned him my generator.

Flipped dock. Luckily no damage to the boat or wave runners. BUT...There was a pontoon from two cabins down in his lake front. It was beat up.
My wife was up there yesterday. Said in some places it looked like all the trees in one area had been cut off by a hedge trimmer. It will take a while to clean up.

Anybody out there with a radar product, check this curl up feature shown just below KPAH.  Thing winds up out of that bow just south of it.

On Sunday, Oklahoma City got up to 100 for the first time this year.   Then Monday morning a strong for time of year cold front passed by without any storms.  It lightly stormed here with .15" of rain, so didn't amount to too much, fortunately.    Oklahoma City may have a record low of 60 Wednesday morning.

First time in a week I've felt the need to turn the AC on.

4 tornados so far.

Cabin mentioned before is without electricity again. My generator is getting a workout. No trees down for them. But a restaurant on the lake may not have a roof anymore. It is about a mile north of them. 

It will be interesting to see if Joe Mauers' parents fortress has damage.

Absolutely prototypical monsoonal ridge here the past two days, MCV's flying around and all. Fine and dandy...except that everyone's getting rain besides the metro and me. :-({|=

I think the Dog Days have set in.  Next 10 days forecast is within a couple of degrees of 85/70 nearly every day.

Stillwater may get nearly 4 inches of rain this weekend.  After a dry July, we'll take it.  So far, no flood watch.
