Month: July 2022

Good morning our current conditions are wet and rainy. This is going to be one of those days that you want to curl up in bed and sleep. Every now and then I get an alert for lightning strikes. So far we have had 22 lightning strikes since about 12:55 this morning. The rain did not start till this morning.

Looking at the Accurite rain gauge, it shows we are sitting at 0.13 inches since it started about 6:21 this morning, Current radar shows that this Rain will not be going away anytime soon. The HRRR model shows rain off and on throughout the day today.

According to the various models from the COD, it looks like we should be drying out starting late evening tonight and the rest of the weekend looks to be dry. Skies will be mostly clear to clear and at times partly cloudy. Looks like the evening of the 4^th will be dry.

That is about it for today.

Good morning,

It looks like we will be under a marginal chance of severe weather over the next 24 hours according to today’s Severe Weather Outlook.



Looking at the HRRR models on the COD webpage it looks like we have a start time of 2300 Zulu or 6 pm CST for the Jackson County Area for possible rain and severe weather. With it being so late in the season it may not be much, we will have to wait and see when it gets closer.



According to the HRRR models, the simulated reflectivity shows a fairly decent storm for this evening. In addition, the SCP shows the possibility of supercell activity for the Jackson County area. Maybe a little stronger up along the northern border of our county and just to the east of the center.




Dew points will be in the mid to upper 60s at the start time of the storm so it will have plenty of moisture in the air.

That is pretty much it for today. Take care everyone. Enjoy your day.
