Just in case you didnt see it gary, I had 2.85 inches last night and this morning.

Hi Gary, glad your back.  I blogged here back in March that I felt we were in a similar pattern as 93'.
Expect a final crest of the MO River not until July 7th at 35' in Kansas City.
As you just pointed out, storms will continue to pound the upper MO River basin.  It takes 48 hours for a Rulo, NE crest to get here and 24 hours from St. Joe.  

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

In 1993, the rain picked up in June and then really was crazy into the first half of July.  So, let's see what happens with this pattern.

Gary

I also wanted to point out that even if we look to go into a drier trend, that has no impact on the river.  I know the LRC pattern is probably fading, but is still in the ball park.....    

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

The weather pattern is continuing to weaken, but the LRC continues.  So, I am expecting this wetter weather to continue for a while.  After summer settles in, then I will look and see how the LRC will influence it. At this point there are still questions on the summer pattern.

2.48" here in Holden

\_O__/

I checked the rain gauge and received 2.50 of rain overnight and another .30 this afternoon for a total 2.80 and for the month I have recorded 6.75 inches of rain for the month southwest of Kingsville.

Gary, I just checked my gauge and I received another .25 with the afternnon showers, that makes it 2.03 for this last event here in Se Lee's Summit.  Kristy

Joplin rain totals: 2.0" for this storm that started about 11:30 pm last night. Finally stopped raining around 3 pm. :-D  That gives us around 3.5" for month. Last month was around 13"  :-P  So I'd say our drought is a thing of the past. We haven't had to water this year and my rose bushes are gorgeous.

I saw that house getting destroyed today...very vivid video.

1.28" for the last 24 hours and 5.35" for June here in Western Shawnee.  Ready to dry out a bit but not for too long!  Haven't had to turn on my sprinklers yet, which is great.  Would like to see if I can make it until "real" summer starts on June 20/21/22, whenever the date is.

Thanks,
Tim

G-Man: Our first, major severe outbreak this year was on May 1and 50 days forward from that date is June 20. Is there anything showing up yet on the 10-day "fantasy-cast"?

We got so much rain, and we discovered a leak in the basement, and my room is soaked!! It is a like a huge puddle, I am mad!

Gary I just saw you on tv! Wow that's incredible footage of that house getting dragged in by the river!. Are we expecting the severe weather threat to be lower than last night(you may not know yet as you say it's still several days out). but the spc says the severe weather threat will be north of KC. Are you thinking the same thing?

It seems as though I've just missed the fotage, for now, hopefuly! ;)  It is amzingly beutiful outside with the lulling sound of the birds chirping here in Lawrence, what a b-e-u-tiful day!

26 July was the 32.07 ft crest in 1993. . . keep in mind it was a 500 year event it does not mean it will not happen in 2008 . . . but for something like that to occur again many things need to fall in place over the entire river basin which is huge.

The chances exist but are not great the next highest crest is 5 feet lower, 27.20 feet so much pain loss of income for farmers . . . . that many people went through is not good . . . I talk about the remote possibility and hope that THE 24.52 ft a TOP 8 CREST yesterday is as good or bad as it gets. . . .

That rains come as needed for the corn and beans with ample sunshine as well.   See the top ten crest below for the MIGHTY MO IN ST JOE do not forget Atchison at 28.87.... a top 4 crest.

For all of you that missed the raw fury of the flood waters, here you go.  We were just traveling on that highway last fall during vacation in the first video up in Lake Delton.

1.3 in Parkville last night gary

Here in Lee's Summit, near LS High School:

2.71 inches last night/today
4.50 inches for the month

Our heaviest rain was around 8:30 last night, 3am this morning and 12 noon today.

Good evening everyone,
   Wow, one thunderstorm developed near Hiawatha and is now severe! There wasn't supposed to be any thunderstorms, but this one little storm found some kind of energy. It is pretty strong, too. Golf ball sized hail! Heading southeast.

Good evening fellow bloggers-

I'm returning from Spencer, IA and from about Omaha on driving south on I-29 we've been watching a nice storm brew. I've been watching the radar from the iPhone and a little disappointed that its just sitting in NE Kansas.  It has been a nice lightning storm to watch as the sun started to set.

Have a good night!

-Brian

OK BrianJayhawk and anybody near St. Joseph, radar on wunderground is indicating >4.00" hail.  Anybody have an actual size on the hail.

I have only gotten sprinkles and have just passed through St Joe. 4" hail would be crazy though.  

-Brian

Chris Rice in stormchaselive.com reported a wall cloud at 9PM 1 mile SSE of Elwood KS.  Looks like that cell on radar has shifted that direction and breaking between St Joe and Atchison.  Movement was 10 knots, radar still indicating >4.00" hail

2.5" hail reported Brown County KS at 9:37PM

Sorry that last report was an error, data mix up from earlier this year. *************** I went ahead and deleted the post about the severe weather report...just to eliminate any confusion. Jeremy

Well Good Evening Jeremy and Gary, Just woke up from a nice nap, I was outside a few moments ago and saw some lightning to the north. I don't know if you guys saw my last post or not but I was wondering what your take on severe weather was going to be on, Is it thursday? when the next Deluge is supposed to occur, I know the SPC has us south of the threat. Thanks guys!

I have family that lives in Mason City, Iowa which has been shown on the news for the extreme flooding there.  Their water treatment plant was flooded yesterday and was closed down-no running water for the entire town!  Luckily my grandmother who is in her 80's keeps several gallons of water on hand.  Be thankful tonight when you take a shower, flush the toilet, and brush your teeth.  The old record for the Winebego River was set in 1933 and this flood beat that record by THREE FEET!  Talk about squashing a record!  Let's hope we won't see anything close to that near us.  And let's hope the rain turns off in the northern states.  

Gary, were you here in KC during the 1993 flood?  

Gary, we ended up with 1.5 inches from yesterday's rain and have 4.03 for the month.  This is at N 76th and N Tullis, right near the Shoal Creek area off of I-435.

About 3 mi. ESE of Pittsville we've received 10.3 in. of rain since June 1.

my hubby is out on the motorcycle, I live at 169 and 68th street but he is in south kc do you think I should call him and try to get him home or do you think the rain will miss us here?

I have an updated rain total for Marceline, MO after more showers developed over the Linn County area.  The updated total is 2.6 inches.  Ill update that total if there is anymore rain showers tonight.

My origional total was 2.4 inches.

Loved todays weather...nice and cool and less humid.

We had a pretty good light show here in St. Joe earlier with some very light rain. A bonus event!!  As for the river well it does look angry, but time will tell, I will get the pictures to the weather team as soon as possible.
