:: Still Not Enough!
This was the MPX WSR-88D NEXRAD image from last night when the predicted line of TSRA finally made it into the TC Metro. This particular screen capture is right when the loudest clap of thunder woke me up! The line was just getting into Lakeville, and as you can see...it left us pretty quickly as well. It was quite the lightshow, however we only received 0.03" of rain from the whole deal. That is still not enough!!
In any case, we continue to experience July this June...drier air filled in quickly and noticably today as the front leisurely passed through midday. Models are now pointing to a very fixated westerly upper air pattern for the week, with a short wave passing through Thursday and Friday, and a much more significant wave progged to arrive later in the weekend. Between now and then, high pressure will dominate once again...winds will be north-northwesterly, and dirunal heating will maximize in the dryness. Summer is here...albeit early!
WEDNESDAY...Mostly sunny, high of 87. Northwest wind between 5 and 10 mph. Low 59.
THURSDAY...Sunny in AM with increasing clouds after lunch. High 82, light and variable wind. Low 55.
FRIDAY...20% chc showers in AM, then partly cloudy, high of 80. Better chc of showers or a thunderstorm after dinner. Low of 57.
