Another day another round...


Here we go again. I'm not too worried about the first line of storms, but take a look out towards Iowa. This is not good news because it could mean some heavy rain for us. This has a classic set up for an MCS or Meso convective system or meso convective complex. Many recent studies have shown that our region is primed for these kind of storms for summer months. What makes them so interesting is that many times around here they have a nocturnal nature and seem to thrive on warm humid nights. While these systems can cause severe weather I think the main concern is going to be heavy rain. Just what we need right?

It appears that as the line of storms nears the Great Lakes, it is gathering a little bit of intensity.
I guess ALL that "humidity" has to go somewhere...
Just hope any rains aren't accompanied by strong winds.
