incoming weather

[glenn57]

saying we could get some this evening...

yep..my terrorist app says storms maybe about 5!!!!

[Dotch]

Ya, I don't have a lot of faith in what my app is saying. It's claiming that between tonite about 6 p.m. & tomorrow afternoon we should have slightly more than an inch. Believe that when I see it. 

[markn]

Thunder now. Saying 70 mph wind and penny sized hail possible. Should be here in 8 minutes or so.

[roony]

Good Luck!

[Steve-o]

Yikes.  70 MPH.  I hope for everyone's sake they are over-exaggerating the forecast again. 

[mike89]

just getting over here Mark, tons of red by you and coming right at me...   winds picked big time too... 

[glenn57]

its friggin scary still here..........yea radar has some impressive colors. 

i got the garden 3/4 weeded.....heard  thunder then got dribbled on so i quit. shut down the garage to.............just in case!!!!

[roony]

Do you always crap on your garage before a storm?

[glenn57]

Do you always crap on your garage before a storm?

Looks like you guys are getting wailed on.  Just got dark and windy here.  Lost power for a couple of minutes but glad it came back on.  It is 92 here and the UPS guy asked to use the hydrant to run cold water over himself.  No AC even in the newer smaller trucks.   

[mike89]

temp sure dropped too..   almost 20 degrees!!!   

[LPS]

Just got dead calm here too.  Sure dark out. No rain yet.  I can hear thunder in the distance.

[roony]

More bad weather by Alex?

[glenn57]

Had some wind here but nothing serious  and a tich under 1/2 inch.

[markn]

Didn’t get much out the first storm. Another just west of Alex and big guy just west of Morris right now. All seem to be moving to the east.

[KEN W]

Windy here also. Got 1 inch in a half hour.

[mike89]

More bad weather by Alex?

some but seemed to settle down... 

[Dotch]

Still 87 degrees here at 7  p.m. Dotch predicts: We won't get squat for rain. Everything is going off to our north.

[mike89]

good solid rain again, just started...   lots of noise...   heard about some 5 inch hail too...  not sure where, that would suk... 

[roony]

That would really be bad.

[LPS]

Good luck Mike!

[mike89]

well it looks like the worst might be over..  nothing bad so...   but the red to the south west, yikes!!! 

[roony]

I was surprised to see 1.7" in the gauge this morning. That should hold us for a while.

[tangle tooth]

      Our gauge reads 1.85". We watered the gardens Wednesday morning.

[Dotch]

Was amazed when I looked in the gauge this a.m. I read on the Climate FieldView app that I had 2.4". Hmmm...when I looked in the official MN Climatology Dept. gauge though it measured 3.33". My gauge sits smack dab in the middle of their coverage area. So much for computer accuracy. Bugtussle garnered 3.15". My reverse psychology must've worked! There was only .34" in the ranch gauge when I let Poppy out to poop about 10 p.m. Figured that was all she wrote. Then it really let 'er beller between 11 and midnite. Usually Poppy doesn't get worked up about storms. This time she seemed agitated & woke me up about the time it was storming. Otherwise I would've slept through it. About 15 years ago, a strong thunderstorm knocked down several trees in the yard & stuck a hunk of another one thru the side of the house about 15' from where I was sleeping. Never heard it. 😴 

[markn]

Had another 1.20" in the gauge this morning.

[glenn57]

well..........shouldnt need to water for a few days.....2.5 inches here overall.

when we need more;;;;;;i'll water the garden again!!!!!!

[Dotch]

 

[LPS]

83 today and for the next week all in the 70's.
