Summer is saying "ready or not here I come" this weekend...phew! The GFS was way out to lunch with the flow pattern several days ago with that non-existent cut off. It's pretty nice out. Still haven't turned on the AC

Missed rain today by a half mile Need to watch Tuesday for severe potential I was just about to post the same thing. Wednesday could also be a problem though the NWS doesn't go out that far 920 must be napping

So while we were all watching the Northern Lights did it come to anyone’s minds we dodged a bullet too. If this flare was directly at us. Might be a different story this week. Yeah, I've been reading about the Carrington event. Insane what that did to telegraph systems, even burning down shacks and shocking operators. You could read by Northern light in New England. It would be very disruptive if such an event took aim at us again. I could be imagining things, but my GPS struggled with city directions over the weekend and my uncle got lost trying to navigate as well.

Yep- not really a cold core system- lapse rates aren’t great Big time split up 44...looking like we'll be lucky to get much *shrug* Right at a quarter of an inch down here. Looks quiet for a while

Was expecting more of a widespread rain today...we've barely had a trace in Brighton so far. This system seems to be lacking deep moisture or sustained lift or both. Yep- not really a cold core system- lapse rates aren’t great Must have been better down around Branson. Payne's valley golf courses had a tornado today with zero warning. Also a tornado report in nw mo today.

Not sure. I just found that site and it stopped around 4:00UTC. I need it to go through dawn. I didn't leave the house until 9:30 after I saw a picture on Facebook. That looks spectacular. I must have just caught the tail end of the good pulse earlier this evening

I have the office window open, and can feel the breeze moistening up. It was a little drier earlier. Up to 64dp in Belleville

I hope this thing misses the Metro to the south. I think Rolla to Carbondale will be the bullseye. As Chris said the air is dry in the metro and the hrrr has it diving south of us. Also spc trimmed the enhanced south a bit Storms are north of where here has them currently.

Excellent outlook by the SPC yesterday. Took longer than expected, but no question they did well! Much better than it looked up until late in the event. If you look the SPC has a timeline on Facebook giving the threat timelines and things were maximized at sunset
