Looks like the places that got the most of the rain yesterday, about this time, are not getting anything right now. Almost like looking at a negative! Not here.......just at 1.75” yesterday and just rolled over the 1” mark so far today and still coming down moderately......this weeks mowing schedule is in extreme jeopardy at this point especially with the forecast for Tuesday thru Thursday. |

Interesting bit of training just east of the nws radar with further development on the southern flank.

Outflow from something came through here dropped the temp 15 degrees. Still a huge rain/storm void over Mascoutah today.

Converging outflows (one from the eadt and one from the west) over St Clair and Monroe counties in Illinois should ignite the as yet untapped CAPE over metro east very soon. There is a very good chance of rapid development from near Fairview Heights back to near Waterloo in the next 30 to 60 minutes.

Hmmmm.. that was not how Inexpected that to go. A wet fuse lol?
9 times out of 10... two outflows collide in an untapped airmass and the result is pretty explosive development. Oh well.

Most global models remain insistent on a tropical system in the GOM next week. If that verifies it'll be quite impressive from a long range forecasting standpoint.

I was watching that last night also.....both boundaries literally made an x over Waterloo and nothing fired up..... very surprising |

It’s a bit soupy out. Looking at the winds and national radar, this airmass is straight outta the GOM.

Most global models remain insistent on a tropical system in the GOM next week. If that verifies it'll be quite impressive from a long range forecasting standpoint. It is impressive, plus if it is close to the path currently progged, some parts of the mid ms valley and lower oh valley are going to get amazing rains. I wld imagine the gfs is stingy on the rainfall amts even here given the path, but im going to also bet on a veer to the west with that high pressure to the east. If that happens, time to test those sump pumps. But that is approaching 2 weeks away. This upcoming weekend is going to be a top 10. Might be our last truly comfortable weekend for a while with alot of heat and humidity building over the ms valley after that. I wld guess that tropical system passes by around june 11, hard to say what kind of pattern will carry us into mid june. Guessing typical summerlike with storm track to our north. |

NHC now has 70% odds of tropical development down there. The question is...will it cross over from the Pacific to the Atlantic like what the GFS says? The Euro says no. The fact that GFS sniffed it out at all deserves a tip of the hat regardless.

I'm torn on what to expect this summer...part of me thinks the excessive rains so far this spring will hamper the heat, but there's also been a tendency lately for anomalous upper ridging to build across the Midwest and Eastern US so there's some conflicting signals so far. I would think with a developing La Nina, a hot summer and active tropical season could be in the cards but I just don't get that gut feeling...guess we'll see. |

TS Bertha has formed off the South Carolina Coast between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. Won't last long as it makes landfall in a few hours near Francis Marion National Forest north of Charleston, SC. Winds @ 45MPH.
