Looking ahead , amazing persistent pattern continues after this weeks rain chances. Another cut-off low advertised for next weekend /early next week over the midwest from both GFS/EU

Tim, you have to let everyone else know your secret in full destruction of the dome.
Some kind of lazer beam? It sure looks like your hood got another soaker.

Just a .10" here overnight and this morning

Holy Cow! I did a double take and thought those were tomato plants for a minute. :lol: Wow, those cucs are awesome! :thumbsup: After years of letting them sprawl on the ground they took up a tremendous amount space in my not so big garden. Started the trellis growing about 5 or 6 years ago and its ...

Bgoney, Does your wife or any of your siblings make their own pickles? :) If they do can their own, they should add some cloves for an extra taste flair to the brine. :thumbupleft: Yes they do, and they all have their own recipes, I think we have all tried the different ones and everyone kind of ha...

HRRR runs every hour but seemingly never catches up to current weather in these setups

Had to make a quick trip to the appliance store , fridge conked out. Can't get until Thursday so the coolers are full. Got back to find .50" in the gauges, :) A good news and bad news type of day. Sucks to hear about the fridge. Glad to hear about the rain though. Perfect! :) We were due for a...

A pleasant surprise to me its holding together, hope it can make it into my hood intact

HRRR not handling on going clusters of showers in the region , that area to the SW still has some heavy pockets of rain so we'll see what happens when it enters our board

Minor changes overnight. Still chances for rain the next few days but it seem AV land is in the least or lowest chance for soaking rains for the weekend , with the exception of parts of SE IN and NKY with a slightly better chance, albeit not much. Not expecting much here with everything petering out...

Almost forgot my daily cucumber pick. To many for me but I have a lot of siblings and my dad to give the rest.

Haven't cut the grass yet for July and no need until we get a decent rain , hopefully next week it will need it

The storm track looks to stay south of the Lakes and remains over the OV. Active times are coming... The Domes, hopefully break every so often. At least the chances are there, it's all we can hope for. Same pattern of ridge(west) ,trough(central), ridge(east) with various strengths of each, that we...

Forecast through the weekend and beyond , is a bit like yesterday's busted forecast, chances for rain and locally heavy rains are ever present for the region and for the board but percentage wise its 50-60 , so the ever present haves and have-not result applies. When it rains is even more in questio...

Hope the 18z NAM for Saturday night is on to something and not on something

AV Dome is at full power this afternoon

I still don't think it officially was a hurricane with recon evidence. A very brief spike in its look on radar and satellite prompted the NHC to call(guess) it a hurricane for people to take it more seriously. Just after that assumption, shear and dry air finally crushed Elsa and the Tampa Dome stay...

So far no evidence of 74 mph sustained winds from recon , so officially not a hurricane yet , but whats a few mph between friends

Officially a cane from NHC. Recon almost there for confirmation.

Nice outflow boundary hitting here from pop-ups to my south. Cooling things a bit

Really close to hurricane criteria despite shear on its west side , what a fighter.

I get the Hurricane watch but I think its less likely to become a Hurricane . Shear doing its thing on the left side of center of circulation, pushing convection north and east. 60 mph gust with a heavier band in key west but outside of bands 30- 40 suatained

Speaking of normal, since the start of Met summer for the southern 1/3 of OH.........

Models in good agreement now, 4-6" for the western half of Florida, should only result in minor flooding issues
