Pleasant out this morning. Temp is just a couple degrees cooler then yesterday but the humidity feels much better.

Tropical system looks pretty disorganized this morning. Low level center is completely devoid of storms....and spinning up near the LA coast. It will need to reform further south (which is possible) under the main convection before anything fast can happen.  |

Can't believe I'm saying this after the spring we had, but IMBY we have not had a good rain in a month. So far since June 16 .09"
Last nights event, one toad strangler went north by 1 mile, second batch went to the south by 1/2 mile (The one BRTN refered to).
It's like a mini drought here, storms like storm 1 last night, they're headed straight for us and at 5-10 miles out they turn and skirt around us. Weird weather.

I've been in a similar situation at my place. Many of the storms the past few weeks have gone north, south, east and west...with only thunder and wind. I'm fine with that. The big swamp in my backyard is finally dry! |

1.45 from last night according to the Davis on the roof in North St. Pete! It was quite breezy with some thunder and lightning. Like "Guyatacomputer" we had about an hour without power. It was fun just talking to the significant other and enjoying the rain. Maybe I need to be without electricity on a daily basis...... but just for an hour!

We missed a few that other areas got, too, until the one last Friday...Saturday...whenever it was. Prior to that the grass that was not covered by the sprinkler system was starting to go brown.
Conversely, as twocat said, we got 1½" last night. Meanwhile the airport got a trace. Hard to get a general coverage soaker in the summer unless we get a tropical system |

Can we lose the power for an hour when it's 65 or 70 degrees. please. Not 90 or 30. BTW, Ameren reported back to me via email that our outage was caused by branches toughing a power line somewhere. Must have not been in the subdivision since all our lines are underground.

Weird weather. to a lesser extent, the same thing has been happening in the Hazelwood/Florissant area (we've had a tad more than .09, but not much, in that time frame). I'm not complaining too much after the past 6 months, ha. |

With last nights rain, i wish i had a guage, but looking at the rainfall reports, i will say im not surprised at the amounts i see. The main thing is how fast that rain came down in such a short time frame. Dardenne Prairie was at the top of the list, and nws weldon spring was pretty close. The rain was wind blown as well.

Where did Brigit Mahoney come from and when did she start doing weather for the 2FOX? She was talking about some Hurricane. Big Grin.

Well... Barry FINALLY looks to be getting better organized. The center seems to be pulling back more to the southwest and closer to the more intense convection. This may delay landfall and shift the track more to the west. It will be interesting to see how models adjust.

Will Barry affect the whole viewing area or more so to the south?

UKMET is an extreme outlier on the track of Barry. It is way far to the west. Most models have the bulk of the precipitation in southeast MO; not the UKMET though. It has widespread 3" amounts in western MO with a lolipop of 6-12" south of I-70. I'm not sure what to think about that. Afterall the UKMET is a world class model...skill-wise it is 2nd best in fact.

Models have been struggling with the "handing off" of the storm between the weakening ridge across the SW US and the ridge off FL. The further W solutions make more sense to me with the ridge in the SW being dominant until the storm is well inland...the anticyclonic flow should keep it from drifting E until it weakens and the SE ridge amplifies a bit. I'd say odds of direct impacts from this system across our region are pretty high at this point...potentially significant.
