Soaked today. Rain in July. I love it.
Soaked today. Rain in July. I love it.
No kidding, same here! I've recorded just a hair under 3" of rain so far this month at my place on the Southside - with over half of that coming down yesterday alone (1.67"). If NWS's forecast verifies, by the end of this weekend I'll have had a wetter July than June!
About 7/8" so far today. And it must have been windy. I had to retrieve my trash cans that were at the curb 3 houses to the east of me. Fortunately Warr Acres trash collectors come really early so they were empty.
If the weekend forecast verifies many areas should be back to normal, and major improvements in perennially dry Osage/Washington/Nowata counties. Bartlesville is still in Stage 3 water restrictions so any rain there and into SE Kansas is most welcome. Amazing to be seeing this type of system in almost mid-July. Seeing 2”+ totals in July in the Panhandle is almost unheard of
We got about 1 1/4 inch yesterday and 3/4 inch this morning. And the guys fertilized a few days ago. Our grass looks amazing. I'm just glad I don't mow it!
The next MCS is already formed in the TX PH. However, it should slowly lose steam tonight as it travels deeper into OK as the airmass here across C OK is more stable. We’ll have to watch radar trends tonight.
Airmass is stable but the dewpoints have rebounded nicely. Will be curious if that’s enough to sustain the MCS.
Ch 4 and 5 6:00 weather both said OKC will likely get hammered with strong winds when the storms roll through around 10;00.
These have been strange storms. Not really a single line but multiple lines that pulse up then diminish so the rainfall isn’t as widespread as a typical MCS, and thus harder to forecast.
For example during last nights storm parts of south Tulsa had over an inch of rain and high winds but midtown Tulsa only had sprinkles.
It looks like on this latest round tonight that Stillwater gets the weakened part of it again or the doughnut hole, but OKC and to the west may get some good rains of over an inch, if things hold up. A large part of the northwest already got that much.
Pretty crazy storm 2-3 miles north of Downtown right now. SW Metro looks to be getting hit particularly hard at the moment.
Holy cow, I must have received at least 4 inches of rain last night.
What a crazy spring and early summer.
Almost 9 inches this week at my house.
Should have emptied my rain gauge! Overflowing!
Hope you guys have been enjoying this rain because the heat dome comes back with a vengeance here in a couple of weeks. The 100’s become the norm on the GFS two weeks out. Let’s hope that changes. Would be nice to get through most of July without a major heat wave here.
Last night I slept through anything that did happen. I was around I40 & Rockwell this afternoon. There's leaves, twigs and all kinds of small debris all over the streets. Limbs fallen out of trees. The H-D dealer had a tent event yesterday and the tent is caved in and all twisted up. When I got home I checked the rain gauge and we got 3 1/2 inches. I didn't even know it rained.
We got at least 3.5 inches at our house. Will Rogers got 3.23 in the last six hours.
I barely heard the rain last night. Slept through most of it. I was shocked when I just now checked my rain gauges. The one in the front yard had 5" and the one in the back yard had 4 3/4".
