.72 for this event, although not much wind, and little rain after the first storms last night, even the redevelopment somehow missed me.  If you look on the radar est. totals I am in the light blue streak right up central Buchanan County to just south of St. Joseph.  How the heck that happens I don't know?

The June total is 1.88 inches.  I am not ready for the storms to end, they have never really begun up here.  I am not sure what the June average rainfall is, but how come this is such a "wet" weather pattern and this one area misses all the heavy rain?

I am glad though that we have had no hail and no strong winds and no close lightning this entire season.  However, our pond is still down about 3 feet and has never recovered form last summers dry weather, which is amazing when you look at areas very close to us.

Oh an by the way, I feel so much better knowing that I am over a 1/3 of an inch above KCI for June.  I hope summer doesn't build in, I don't have an surplus ground moisture here eeks!

I still am baffled how it seems to split around me every time.

--------------

It has been the trend lately to have lesser amounts up north.  There is another good chance of thunderstorms later in the week, so we will test it again.

Gary

just north of3/4 of an inch in st jo 68 degrees great dog walking weather

Received 1.00" here in Easton, MO.   Glad to see that we got some rain while I was at Lake Tahoe....Just returned yesterday.  Have a good day

---------------

How was Tahoe?  I haven't been there in a few years.  It probably got pretty windy up there when this storm moved by.  Welcome back.

Gary

Morning Gary.  There is light rain still falling here and just checked my rain gauge.  So far it held 1.90".  Doubt much more will gather since the radar is showing the edge of the rain almost to me here in Raytown.

Laura

Thanks Gary...It was gorgeous...it was breezy but it was still gorgeous as always....The temps were in the lower 60's and the Lake was mighty cold  Brrrrr...I grew up there and just miss the crispness of the mountain air.  When I stepped off the plane back here and felt that humidity I almost turned back and went back into the plane...I wanted to go back.....Hopefully in August I will return and then maybe the lake should be a little warmer to go swimming.....haha  Have a good one

McLouth, KS 0.75", 0.60 fell in the first round

1.4 inches of rain from this event at 151st and Mur-Len in Olathe.  June total is now 6.24".

WOW...I tripled checked my rain guage...but it doesn't lie...2.62 in SW Grain Valley bringing monthly total to 6.09!!!!

Jeff  

1.89 inches as of 6:15 this morning in SE Jackson County (Hwy 150 & 7)

Thursday looks to be rainy

glad we got those huge 3-4 inch rains this was  complete miss

---------------

Actually, a complete miss would have been for us to get no rain at all.  The heavy thunderstorms, once again, ended up south of here, but we all had a nice soaking rain.  The forecast amounts of 3 inches or more certainly seemed likely, and we just barely missed it.

Gary

It looks like I have just about 1.5 inches in my gauge about 2 miles west of Sedalia and it's still raining. When the storm first came through last night the rain was going sideways, so I'm not sure how much of the rain from the first ten minutes of the storm made it into my gauge.

NW Lawrence received 1.41" through 7:00 AM this morning.  The majority (1.36") fell in less than an hour whenthe first severe thunderstorm rolled through in the late afternoon. Total June rainfall is 3.44".

Larry

Gary,

I look forward to hearing more about when the real summer weather pattern will appear here. I see our current pattern as a spring type pattern [or a continuation of the winter pattern]. At 141st and Metcalf, we had a nice gust front as the outflow boundary went through last night ahead of the storm line. The temperature dropped quickly. The storm we received was not as strong as I suspected, however. After the gust front, I saw some cloud rotation before the main rain area moved in.

Bob

Good morning Gary and team from soggy Grandview.   So far, we have seen 1.85 inches for the storm.   6.55 inches of rain for June....

I'd like to place a weather order for end of next week..   Aarom's Family Fun Center in Belton will be hosting a Pro Bowlers Regional tournament.   We would like high's in the low to mid 80's with low humidity.

Thanks Gary and team..

Bill and Melissa

------------

Bill & Melissa,

We have put in your order.  Thanks for the report.

Gary

I had 1.8" in Gardner

KCK/N 18th and State, updated:

Overnight and this morning:  1.27

Month of June so far:  3.47

Year so far:  22.68

I think the gauge in Grain Valley about doubled the actual amount!

Radar storm total display does not correlate with other nearby amounts.  

-----------------

I think you are right, there is always a chance that the rain from Thursday night was left in the rain gauge.  I will drop their total a bit.

Gary

Siraluce,

Radar storm totals are not as accurate as they might picture, the reason for COCORAHS. My rain gauge comes from the COCORAHS weather organization and unless some one went and poured some extra water in it...it is always very accurate. Yes, I admit it is a high total but in checking other COCORAHS members totals around the Grain Valley area, several have reported near or plus 2inches.  

----------------

I think I will do a COCORAHS blog later this week to explain what it is and how we can help and be involved.

Gary

siraluce, I live in North Grain Valley and my gauge says 1.83 so far.

in Liberty we ended up with 1.25 inches total...& it was still raining when I left for work.

awww stormy's so cute.

I heard in passing last night (I don't know what channel he had on) but that Indianapolis had 10 inches of rain in an hour?  Does anyone else know if this is correct?  It just seems a lot!

1.2" of rain last night in KC,MO south of Liberty.

Gary,

Thanks about doing a blog about COCORAHS as it is always very interesting what a few miles can make in precip totals. However, after I sort of tried to defend my rainfall total, LOL, I will admit...there could be another possible explaination to the high rainfall total, I orginally gave. The more I think about it...I might not have emptied my rain gauge from the last rain I got which was .79. Though I usually do but may have for some reason I had not emptied it this last time. If this is case then my total would be 1.83 which probably makes more sense. Ok..now to wait for Thursday's rain.

Jeff    

1.78 in my part of lee's summit. kristy

2.1 Inches in SE Lee's Summit Raintree Lake.  Where is the weather station in Lee's Summit?  

2.5"  323rd and hwy 7  between Garden City and Creighton

Extremely heavy winds as the front came through last night.  About the same as those that caused damage last week.  

1.42 inches of rain in Sedalia.

Stormlover -

I heard about the Indiana flooding on the radio this morning.  Here's an article on CNN that gives a bit more info:  

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/weather/06/09/severe.weather.ap/index.html

Looks like about 2.20 inches of rain in the rain gauge this morning. Hope everyone is well, take care.

1.75 inches of rain in North Blue Springs.
Tammy

1.5 inches of rain 3 miles north of Warsaw, but still raining at a steady pace.

Good morning, Gary!  I got 1.65" at 151st and Pflumm.  That puts my monthly total for June at 8.25"  Seems so much higher than those around me.  

I noticed Bret was showing 1" for Lenexa, here is the rainfall total update for Lenexa at 79th and Lackman - 1.45"


Just went and totaled all the rainfall for June, looks like we've had 6.75 inches of rain so far this month. The ground is very soggy right now!

David

Gary, you never responded what point would be used to verify your summer forecast?  

May I suggest somewhere more southern?  KMCI doesn't seem to be cooperating!

LOL

What happened to KCI's total!! It looked like it should have rained more than that....?

Grand total of 1.55" of rain 2 miles south of Reno. As the main line of storms past, we received .98" of that total in just 30 minutes. We received some dime size hail and strong wind gusts (50 mph+)

I'm hoping for a home weather station with a anemometer for Fathers Day...

Gary,
Finished this storm system with 1.35 so far in june 3.25 here at 68th and leavenworth rd. Do you think the the heavier rain patterns may shift farther north for the summer?

-Rodney

I poured out 2.5 inches of rain here south of Warrensburg.  So, added to my other totals for the month that puts us at approximately 6.70 inches thus far in June.  No wonder some of my flowers seem to be drowning!

There's 1.75 inches of rain in my rain gauge since last evening.

Kristi in south Raytown

Twelve hours of sleep does a body good. :)

Since last Tues. night, we've had 5.25 inches of rain.

Kristi

Hillsdale Lake had 1.05 inches Sun/Mon and that pushed my monthly total to 8.05 inches.  Great for young grass and young trees.  Gary, do you think think the 2nd half of June is going to trend above average temp wise?  I may be remembering wrong, but I thought we were expecting a below average temp expectation for June.  Precip wise, I don't much care at this point.

Yep....I got rain, too much darn rain!!! My rain guage says  2.95 inches this am. I think it rained nearly all night. Heard thunder most of the night too. My June total is 4.85 inches so far. Ughhh!!!! Needless to say we cancelled the T-ball game tonight. They would be swimming to first base versus running. LOL!!! Have a great day everyone.

Pleasanton, KS

Kristi,
I thought you were reporting from SE Lee's Summit.
Jason

Gary

I just went out and checked my rain guage and it read 2.4 inches here in Marceline, MO. I planted the garden a few days ago, and now it is soaked. Nothing had time to come up yet, but I hope this doesnt drown the seeds. I made some small trenches to drain the water puddles. It sure looks like we got 2.4 inches of rain here.

Alex

Here in Greenwood, I have 1.9" in the rain gauge from last night. The June total so far at my house is 7.8". Lots of standing water in the backyard. Thank God for sump pumps.

Hi Team,

2.12 inches of rain at 87th and Metcalf.

Regards,
Todd

thanks Melissa...in the article it didn't say in an hour so I wonder where they got that from.  10 inches is a lot!!

Jason,
No, I live in the south part of Raytown.  My oldest brother lives in NW LS off of Chipman and View High Drive.

Kristi

Oh ok.   For whatever reason I thought you were down here by me.  I'm a couple blocks North of Lake Winnebago.  I'm in that 7" area that Greenwood's received so far this month.
Jason

1.9 inches of rain, Leawood

Only 1.43 for me here in downtown Lee's Summi.

Brian

Gary,
Goodmorning!  My 3 year old son checked the rain gage with me and it was at 3.1 inches just north of I-70 off of Buckner-Tarsney in Grain Valley at 7:45 am!  He wants to be a "weather boy!"  Lots of fun!  AND - saving lots of $$ on my water bill!

Sonic1098, I live right off BB/Duncan and I70, I only recorded 1.85 inches of rain...You may need to check your rain gauge.

You probably don't care what the rain amount is down here but I'll post it anyways. We've had 1.70" so far in Joplin but it's still raining and going to rain all day. So I'll post total tonight (if it ever stops)

It continues to drizzle to moderate rain here in Lees Summit. Any idea when it will stop? Kristi?

--------------

Kristi,

There is a spinning area of rain that just formed over Jackson county.

Gary

Lorie,
Go ahead and post them. :)

See you all later!  My dad has a long appt. this afternoon.

Kristi

My basset hound and I did the two-mile walk, but she sat down and refused to go further after we reached one mile. =) It was a great day to see everyone out with their dogs!

Now that it has stopped raining, I have 1.7 inches about 2 miles west of Sedalia.

Near 76th and N. Troost in Gladstone, I had 1.3 in. last night and early this morning.

Mike in Gladstone

Close to 2.75" North of La Cygne. I don't need anymore!! So what does Thursday's set-up look like?

I've got a ride in Collins, MO over the weekend. Does it look like a washout? I hope I can get a ride in. Haven't been on a horse in 3 weeks.... way to long for this ol'gal. Getting grumpy!!

Hellloo Everybody. Good Early Afternoon Gary. I slept like a log last night. Gary I had so much fun at the dog and Jog yesterday, meeting you was great and my pekingese managed to walk(well for her run) the whole mile! It was just a great experience and I had a great time.

----------------

It was nice meeting you to HailJonathon.

Gary

oh, My wife had a lot of fun too lol! =)

Hi Farmgirl. I was just looking at the SPC outlooks for day 3 and day 4 that would appear to be wednesday and thursday. and your all the way down in La Cygnne Right? well according to those outlooks chance of Severe Weather at least looks to be north of the viewing area. I couldn't tell you about rain chances at this point, But like Gary always says this is still 3-4 days out so lets not give so much thought into it at this point! =P

I feel your pain Lorie!  Still raining here on the north side of Warsaw and has been all day. I haven't been out lately to check the rain gauge, but it was a bit over 1.5 this morning at 7.  No doubt more since then.  I think I see tiny mushrooms growing on the deck!

Hey Farmgirl, I just realized you were talking about the weekend so I looked at the GFS(the Nam doesn't go that far) and the GFS doesn't show a spec of rain anywhere but again like Gary always says this is still 5-7 days out and things do change! however on late thursday night and early friday morning, the GFS does show thunderstorms developing and a nice blob of precip is over the La Cygne area on early Friday morning.

1.20" of total liquid precipitation from yesterday's storm. 1.14" of rain before midnight yesterday and 0.06" of rain after midnight.
East Lawrence

1.5 inches total here at 3rd and Jefferson, downtown Lee's Summit.

Brian

Gary,

Another 1.5" last night in Gardner.  I believe that puts us at 7.7" in June.

What is the wetest June on record? I remember 93, we had a 3 acre lake in our back yard that almost doubled in surface area.

Hello bloggers!

I'm in Spencer Iowa today and its 74 and sunny!  Perfect weather for apartment searching. My friend is moving from Sioux City and I came up from Kansas
City and there are fields that are completely under water.  Actually one of the exits
was closed due to water over the road.

There is a nice wind farm out here on HWY 20 west of HWY 71. (I think)

Have a good afternoon!

-Brian

We had 2.85 inches last night an this morning in drexel, I am not sure on the running total for june. I do know that it needs to dry out so I can start playing golf!

Weather Team
Looks like DREXEL has had 2.20 for the past 48 hours and 6.25 for the month of June (so Far) I wonder what the record is for June total rainfall???? Gary, tell us tonight. I'll bet it's over 12 inches!!!
Mike

adogg in Drexel.....what type of rain guage are you using....mine may need to be calibrated. I had 2.20

Its just like a plastic tube that that goes into a larger tube, when the small tube is full, thats an inch, then it overflows into the other tube, which you pour into the first tube, and you get the picture.

Last nites' rain total,...Near 128th & Mur-Len, Olathe, Ks.... 2.0"
